Aseptic Packaging Global Market Report 2024

The aseptic packaging market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $71.88 billion in 2023 to $80.13 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. Historical growth in the food industry can be attributed to consumer demand for convenience, longer shelf life, reduced dependency on preservatives, the globalization of food supply chains, heightened emphasis on food safety, and the expansion of markets in developing regions.

The aseptic packaging market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $129.17 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7%. Forecasted growth is due to e-commerce expansion, urbanization, stringent regulations, sustainable packaging focus, demand for dairy alternatives, and changing consumer lifestyles. Key trends include technological advancements, single-serve packaging, smart packaging integration, collaborations, and increased R&D investments.

The projected surge in the aseptic packaging market is anticipated to be propelled by the escalating demand for convenient food items characterized by extended shelf life and secure, hygienic packaging solutions. This upsurge is notably evident in the forecasted growth of the global processed snacks market, anticipated to elevate from $96.9 billion in 2020 to an estimated $142.0 billion by 2025. Consequently, the increasing consumer preference for convenience and processed foods serves as a pivotal factor driving the expansion of the aseptic packaging market.

The aseptic packaging market is anticipated to experience substantial growth, primarily fueled by heightened demand within the food and beverage industry. This sector encompasses a broad spectrum of activities, including the production, distribution, and retail of consumable goods and beverages, spanning from agricultural processes to restaurant and café operations. Aseptic packaging plays a pivotal role in this industry due to its capability to preserve products sans refrigeration, thereby extending their shelf life and preserving their freshness. Notably, as of July 2022, insights from the Food and Drink Federation, a UK-based entity representing and advising food and drink manufacturers, revealed a significant uptick in the industry's performance. Food and drink exports were valued at $31.80 billion (£25 billion), registering a 14.4% increase in total turnover, which amounted to $162.80 billion (£128 billion). Domestic sales also surged by 13%, reaching $143.72 billion (£113 billion). Consequently, the escalating demand within the food and beverage industry emerges as a substantial driver propelling the growth trajectory of the aseptic packaging market.

Companies within the aseptic packaging market are directing their efforts toward the advancement of single-use passive solutions to ensure heightened safety measures and minimize wastage. The concept of single-use passive involves the safe transfer of sterile contents within manufacturing processes and facilities. This approach not only fosters an adaptable manufacturing environment but also reduces toxicity levels during the blending of components for the final product. Consequently, it significantly diminishes the time and costs linked with cleaning, maintenance, and validation procedures. A notable illustration of this trend occurred in June 2022, when Greatview Aseptic Packaging Company, based in China, unveiled aseptic cartons. These cartons are fashioned from a biobased polymer, serving as the primary material for the aseptic carton pack, along with laminated paper boards. The innovation aims to enhance sustainability in product packaging, aligning with the company's commitment to eco-friendly practices within the aseptic packaging landscape.

Prominent players within the aseptic packaging market are actively engaged in crafting innovative packaging solutions to cater to the increasing demand for prolonged shelf life and convenient preservation of perishable goods. These innovative packaging solutions are characterized by their novelty, efficiency, and often incorporate cutting-edge technology to enhance product safety, sustainability, convenience, or visual appeal. An exemplar of such innovation emerged in June 2021, when Tetra Pak, a US-based company specializing in food processing and packaging solutions, introduced Tetra Stelo Aseptic packaging. This packaging solution was subsequently adopted by Minute Maid, a prominent brand under The Coca-Cola Company's umbrella in India. The package stands out due to its distinctive tall, rounded, and seamless design, specifically tailored for Minute Maid's new Honey Infused and Vita Punch variants. Notably, the incorporation of the WingCap 30 technology facilitates effortless opening, incorporating DIMC technology to ensure a secure grip and optimal pouring. Tetra Pak not only provided innovative packaging but also extended support by offering processing and filling equipment, underscoring a comprehensive partnership in bringing this unique product range to market. This collaboration between Tetra Pak and Minute Maid represents a significant stride in delivering innovative packaging solutions tailored to meet evolving consumer preferences in the aseptic packaging landscape.

In February 2022, Hewlett-Packard Company, a prominent US-based information technology company, successfully completed the acquisition of Choose Packaging for a total of $10 billion. This strategic move is set to reinforce HP, Inc.'s commitment to advancing recyclable packaging solutions and advocating for alternatives to plastic bottles, aligning with the company's broader sustainability goals. Choose Packaging, a leading UK-based packaging company, is at the forefront of pioneering innovative packaging solutions and sustainable alternatives to plastic, including but not limited to paper, paperboard, and pressure-sensitive materials, with a specific focus on aseptic packaging.

Aseptic packaging encompasses various formats such as cartons, bags, pouches, bottles, cans, and ampoules, each serving distinct purposes in preserving products. Cartons function as lightweight storage containers, while bags and pouches offer versatile carriage for multiple items. Bottles and cans are primarily used for liquid storage, while ampoules, whether made of glass or plastic, maintain sterility for medicinal solutions or powders. This packaging method effectively shields against bacterial contamination, light exposure, and moisture, thereby extending product shelf life significantly. Aseptic bags and pouches, crafted from polyethylene particles, boast qualities such as resistance to low temperatures, chemical stability, and electrical insulation. On the other hand, aseptic bottles and cans undergo ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment, enhancing hygiene levels and prolonging shelf life - widely adopted in dairy and beverage sectors. Ampoules, being small sterilized glass vessels, play a crucial role in pharmaceuticals and chemical industries by preventing pathogenic exposure. Materials employed in aseptic packaging encompass plastic, paper, paperboard, metal, glass, and wood, catering to the needs of diverse sectors such as food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, and others.
