Global High-Barrier Pouches Market 2016-2020

Global outlook of the high-barrier pouches market

According to the market research analysts at Technavio, the global high-barrier pouches market is anticipated to witness impressive growth at a CAGR of close to 7% over the forecast period. There is a high rate of adoption of stand-up pouches across a wide range of markets, from consumer packaging to industrial applications. These pouches are primarily used for packaging ready-to-eat food, curries, sauces, and other convenience food. With growing urbanization and busy schedules of people in the emerging markets, the ready-to-eat food market will witness rapid growth during the predicted period. Also, high barrier pouches have exceptional resistance properties that prevent decay, resulting in the longer shelf life of consumables. The stand-up pouches not only have a shelf-space look but also possess functionality aspects like a flat front for printing and graphics, lightweight, easy-to-use, resealable closures, valves and spouts, and large holding capacities. Furthermore, the vendors in the market are investing in technology and equipment advancements for increasing the production efficiencies for stand-up pouches, which will contribute to the growth of this market in the coming years.

The augmented demand for single-serve beverages is one of the upcoming trends that is likely to boost this market’s growth during the predicted period. In the beverage segment, the single-serve products share has become a prominent part of customer convenience and is providing huge opportunities for beverage manufacturers to reach a larger market. For instance, Mars Drink has launched single-serve coffee pouches named Steel Horse Coffee, which is targeted to offices. Moreover, the increasing consumer demand for healthy and on-the-go food and beverages products is also promoting single-serve packaging of beverages, snacks, and baked goods.
