Stand-up Pouches Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Aseptic Stand-Up Pouches, Hot-Filled Stand-Up Pouches, Retort Stand-Up Pouches), Closure Type (Press to Close Zipper, Spouts & Fitments) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Stand-up Pouches Market is accounted for $26.38 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $49.81 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. Stand-up pouches are very ideal containers for solid, liquid, and powdered as well as non-food items which help the food to stay fresh for a long period. Metal foil, polypropylene, and polyesters are the materials that are used to make stand-up pouches or packets. They are lightweight and are easy to handle, they widely used in the food and beverages industry for products like coffee, tea, sauces, and candies. Stand-up pouches are mainly of three types- doyen also known as around bottom or doypack, K- Seal, and corner bottom also called plow (plow) bottom or folded bottom.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing acceptance of on the go snacking

Growing demand for snack food items is a major factor in promoting market growth. The increasing demand for on-the-go snacking that can be re-sealed and the demand for packaged items along with consumers’ augmented preference for stand-up pouches is likely to play an important role in the expansion of the global market. Additionally, stand-up pouches make use of lesser materials and involve the lower cost of transportation and shipping. They are light in weight in association with numerous other packaging formats, such as glass bottles and metal cans.

Restraint:

Failure to stand

When the stand-up pouches are packed, they stand straight on the shelf at the corner, do not affect the product fillings even if they fall, and display the product. Though, when the pack empties, the pouch loses its ability to remain straight and begins to fall. This may limit the value of stand-up pouches. The production of it necessitates a huge number of production areas as well as a large number of raw materials. This could hinder the revenue growth of the market.

Opportunity:

Opposition to the metal cans

The consumers are rejecting the metal can and opting in favor of the pouches. The sales of the canned food have become stagnant and are witnessing a surge in the pet food segment, due to the increasing usage of stand-up pouches packaging. The reasons that it is preferred over metal cans are varied, some of it is food metal cans notoriously difficult to open, and they can be the heaviest form of packaging and hence is responsible for a lot of carbon footprint. Moreover, these pouches have become popular because they are made by blending several layers of plastics which allows newer printing and designing techniques to be used on the packet. This technology helps sterilize the package and the food product separately and then combine and seal it under a sterilized environment.

Threat:

Reaction with light & less marketing chances

The stand-up pouches contain a food item that is somehow sensitive to light, it may get contaminated if it contacts with light. The ingredients by which the food is made may react with light and will pollute the whole item altogether. This is the most important threat which can’t be neglected. Additionally, in a see-through stand-up pouch, there isn’t any space available to imprint the benefits or brand’s rate onto these stand-up pouches. This ultimately diminishes marketing chances which prove to be a major threat for business.

Food & Beverages segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
