Outlook of the global milk packaging market

The milk packaging market research report predicts the market to grow at a CAGR of around 3% by 2020. One of the primary drivers for this market is the growing demand for milk packaging from developing countries. The high consumption of milk and milk products in these countries will boost the growth of this market. By 2017, the milk industry is expected to witness a rapid increase in demand for rigid packaging and cartons for liquids, especially containers for packaging flavored milk. In addition, the growing demand for flavored milk from developing countries such as India, China, and Brazil will also propel the prospects for market growth until the end of 2020.

One of the latest trends gaining traction in this market is the increased use of eco-friendly materials like paperboard. Paperboard packaging holds the largest market share in the global milk packaging market as it takes less time to break down and decompose in nature. Also, the materials used for paperboard packaging take only five years to break down under natural conditions, which is much less than materials like metal cans and polyethylene terephthalate bottles. The growing preference for biodegradable and sustainable packaging will augment the demand for paperboard in the coming years.
