The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as packaging efficiency, extended shelf life, cost-effectiveness, trends in the wine and beverage industry, and a reduced environmental impact.
The bag-in-box container market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.28 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as changing consumer lifestyles, the expanding application in non-food sectors, a focus on sustainability and eco-friendly packaging, innovations in dispensing systems, and the overall growth of global e-commerce. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the increased use in industrial and institutional applications, advancements in barrier films and materials, customization for branding and marketing purposes, heightened adoption in the pharmaceutical industry, and a continued emphasis on convenience and portability.
The anticipated growth in the bag-in-box containers market is driven by the expanding food and beverage industry. This industry encompasses the production, processing, distribution, and sale of food and drink products. Bag-in-box containers find widespread use in packaging liquids such as juices, wines, and syrups within the food and beverage sector. These containers offer a convenient and efficient means of storing and dispensing large liquid quantities, presenting advantages such as extended shelf life, ease of transportation, and reduced packaging waste. For instance, reports from the Common Thread Collective in April 2022 revealed that global food and beverage sales reached $506 billion in 2022, with expectations to reach $857 billion by 2025. Additionally, according to Statistics Sweden in September 2022, food and beverage sales in 2021 totaled $30.74 billion (SEK 334 billion), marking a 2.9% increase from 2020. Thus, the burgeoning food and beverage industry is a key driver of the bag-in-box containers market.
The growth of the bag-in-box containers market is further propelled by the increasing number of restaurants. Restaurants, as establishments that prepare and serve food and drinks, commonly use bag-in-box containers for dispensing various liquids such as syrups, sauces, and beverages efficiently. Equipped with dispensing taps, these containers provide a practical and hygienic solution for storing and serving bulk liquid quantities, contributing to streamlined kitchen operations. Finances Online reported in October 2023 that the US had over one million restaurants employing 15.6 million people in 2021, with 101,811 chain restaurants as of 2021. Hence, the rising number of restaurants is a significant factor driving the bag-in-box containers market.
A notable trend in the bag-in-box containers market is the increasing number of technological advancements. Leading companies in this sector focus on developing technologically advanced solutions for bag-in-box containers. For instance, Scholle IPN India Packaging Pvt. Ltd., an India-based packaging company, introduced bag-in-box packaging for water in April 2021, utilizing Scholle IPN’s proprietary film technology. This innovative packaging solution incorporates RecShield barrier film in the outer layer to prevent flavor leakage and 2PureTM scavenging technology in the inner layer to protect the taste of the water, offering recyclability and environmental pollution reduction.
Major companies operating in the bag-in-box containers market are also investing in new products such as bag-in-box filling machines to enhance their competitive edge. These specialized machines are designed for automated or semi-automated filling of flexible bags within box-such as containers, particularly valuable in industries such as food and beverage for efficient and precise liquid product packaging. For example, Liquibox, a US-based flexible packaging company, launched Bag-in-Box filling machines in October 2022, including the A-Series for high-speed automatic filling and the S-Series for cost-effective semi-automatic filling. These machines, catering to a range of liquid products, exemplify Liquibox's commitment to providing innovative solutions that meet industry demands.
