The liquid packaging market is experiencing significant growth, primarily fueled by the increasing demand for flexible packaging. Flexible packaging, which can easily change shape when filled or during use, is particularly prevalent in liquid packaging due to its convenience in transportation and the enhanced durability it provides to products. The flexible packaging sector is witnessing a surge in demand, especially in the Food and Beverage (F&B) industry. A Sustainable Packaging News article from May 2022 highlighted the growth of flexible packaging solutions in F&B applications. The utilization of flexible materials like aluminum for packaging is projected to result in a 75% reduction in carbon emissions compared to other alternatives. Many food businesses are considering the use of flexible packaging for their products, and the market is expected to surpass its current estimated value of USD 390 billion by 2028, driven by evolving trends in the flexible packaging sector.
The increased demand for food and beverages is set to be a key driver for the growth of the liquid packaging market. Liquid packaging plays a crucial role in the safe, efficient, and consumer-friendly storage and distribution of various liquid products within the food and beverage industry. According to Common Thread Collective, the global revenue of the food and beverage industry is anticipated to rise from $506.3 billion in 2021 to reach $856.9 billion by 2025. This heightened demand for food and beverage products is expected to propel the growth of the liquid packaging market in the foreseeable future.
Major companies in the liquid packaging market are concentrating on developing automated packaging systems for liquids to enhance production efficiency, lower labor costs, improve precision, and ensure product safety during the packaging process. Automated packaging systems refer to mechanized equipment and technologies that perform packaging operations with minimal or no human intervention. These systems can manage a variety of liquids, including those containing particles or solids, making them suitable for various applications in the food and beverage industry. For example, in November 2023, Sealed Air Corporation, a US-based packaging company, introduced the CRYOVAC Brand 308A CE Vertical Form-Fill-Seal System, an innovative automated packaging solution designed specifically for liquid products. It operates at a speed of 28 packs per minute, significantly enhancing productivity in packaging lines. The system can package both hot and cold products, withstanding temperatures up to 95 degrees Celsius. This capability allows it to handle a wide range of liquid products, from sauces to soups.
The strategic partnerships have become a prominent approach among major companies in the liquid packaging industry. This collaborative strategy involves leveraging each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits. In April 2022, Elopak, a Norway-based company specializing in cartons for liquids, joined forces with General Logistics Systems B.V., a Netherlands-based mail company, to form a joint venture. The aim of this collaboration is to manufacture and process innovative packaging solutions, both fresh and aseptic, making liquid food safe and readily available to consumers globally. The partnership also plans to offer a range of fresh Pure-Pak cartons, Pure-Pak aseptic cartons, and related solutions.
