Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global cider packaging market to grow at a CAGR of almost 5% by 2020. The growing demand for alcoholic drinks has propelled retailers to focus on shelf-life packaging that is easy to transport and store and is convenient to unpack. Vendors are coming up with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, which protects the cider products for longer durations. Plastic is gaining preference over glass bottles and metal cans because of its lightweight, low costs, and wide availability of designs. The manufacturers are also introducing bottles equipped with a barrier coating technology to increase its shelf life and minimize the risk of permeation. Also, with several technological innovations in the market, there is growing demand for water-based coating technology as it is odorless, tasteless, and environmentally-friendly, and reduces the use of spray powder.
Retort pouch or aseptic pouch packaging is gaining traction in the cider packaging market. These pouches are made of multi-level laminates that maintain the quality of cider products. Many cider packaging companies have started the use of stand-up pouch packaging. Sustainable stand-up pouches are eco-friendly as they are non-toxic and biodegradable in nature. These pouches are also efficient in protecting the quality and essence of the product. Also, several vendors are increasingly using aseptic pouch packaging for cider products as it involves flash pasteurization of products so that they retain their original texture, aroma, and organoleptic properties.
