The Americas, Asia, and North Africa flexible packaging market size is expected to grow from US$ 149.87 billion in 2023 to reach US$ 238.52 billion by 2031; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 6.0% during 2023-2031.
The flexible packaging market in the Americas, Asia, and North Africa is driven by growing demand in food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and personal care sectors. The rapidly increasing population, particularly in countries such as India, Brazil and China are pushing the market growth. In the Americas, the shift towards sustainable packaging and increasing consumer preference for convenience have spurred growth. Asia’s market is expanding rapidly due to rising population, urbanization, and growing e-commerce, particularly in China and India. North Africa, while smaller in scale, is witnessing increased demand for flexible packaging in the food and agriculture industries.
Across these regions, the focus is on innovation, sustainability, and cost efficiency, making flexible packaging a key growth sector. Additionally, heightened awareness about environmental sustainability is pushing manufacturers to innovate in terms of biodegradable and recyclable packaging solutions. These regions are witnessing advancements in barrier technologies, ensuring product freshness and extended shelf life.
The flexible packaging solutions use non-rigid and flexible materials such as foils, papers, pouches, bags, and other products. These packaging solutions often use less energy in the manufacturing and transportation of the products and generate smaller quantities of greenhouse gases and carbon emissions on their way to market. Packaging solutions such as wraps, bags, and pouches are less costly and occupy 35% less retail shelf space, making them cost-effective compared to other types of packaging. According to the Flexible Packaging Association, manufacturing 780,000 flexible pouches consumes 87% less coal, 64% less crude oil, and 74% less natural gas compared to the manufacturing of clamshell packages.
Waste-to-energy technologies enable flexible packaging producers to turn waste into electricity and fuels. Waste materials can be converted into new products instead of ending up in landfills. European and Asian economies have adopted this method instead of using landfills to discard waste materials. Several advancements in technologies, such as incinerator technology, aiming to reduce harmful emissions, create the likelihood of flexible packaging manufacturing companies adopting these technologies in their manufacturing process.
Flexible packaging protects products from moisture, mold, UV rays, dust, and other environmental conditions that can contaminate them, thereby maintaining their quality and enhancing their shelf life. The aforementioned benefits of flexible packaging solutions drive the flexible packaging market.
