Rising demand from the confectionary industry is propelling the market demand for flexible packaging paper. Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global flexible paper packaging market to grow at a CAGR of over 5% from 2015 to 2019.
The global flexible paper packaging market will grow steadily over the forecast period due to increased demand for flexible packaging from various end-user industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. Flexible paper products are increasingly preferred as they can be easily recycled. However, the threat from other substitute packaging materials, such as plastic, acts as a major growth barrier.
In 2014, the uncoated kraft paper segment accounted for a larger share of this market due to the development of innovative products. For instance, Mondi launched products such as Aqua liners and kraft top liners in the uncoated kraft paper segment. These products offer water-resistance and sustainability properties.
With changes in demographic factors such as an increase in single-person households and rise in working population, the demand for convenience food and packaged food is growing. This is resulting in the steady growth of this market. In 2014, the flexible paper packaging segment held the highest share of the global food packaging market.
This Americas market will grow moderately during the forecast period because of increased demand for small packs or single-serving packaging. The growing demand for boxboard and containerboard in the food industry will drive the growth of this market. The US will continue to be an important revenue contributor on account of increasing concerns about sustainability among consumers and growing infrastructure of contract packagers.
