The global beverage packaging market size was valued at USD 144.40 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 150.60 billion in 2024 to USD 217.54 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.70% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific dominated the beverage packaging market with a market share of 35.42% in 2023. Moreover, the beverage packaging market in the U.S. is projected to grow significantly, reaching an estimated value of USD 39.43 billion by 2032, driven by the increasing demand for carbonated drinks, energy drinks, and soft drinks among the younger generation.


Packaging is generally done to protect the product from damage and attract customers by enhancing its visuals through the utilization of advanced decorative techniques, which also helps the product stand out among competitors. Beverage packaging plays a crucial role in protecting liquids as they are prone to leakages and contamination. Packaging companies provide a wide range of products, such as cans, bottles, jars, pouches, and cartons, to increase the shelf life and sales of beverages. The high strength, lightness, and protection from the external environment offered by the packaging solutions may accelerate the beverage packaging market growth.


Due to stringent government regulations, labor shortages, and high prices of raw materials during the COVID-19 pandemic, production was hampered, resulting in the contraction of demand for beverage packaging products. Moreover, the rise in the number of online food & beverage outlets in the ever-growing e-commerce industry is anticipated to propel the beverage packaging market share in the post-pandemic era.


Beverage Packaging Market Trends


Surge in Usage of Sustainable Materials to Emerge as a Key Trend


The growing environmental concerns among manufacturers and consumers have surged the demand for sustainable packaging. The use of recyclable materials and invention of bioplastic will become a significant trend in the market. Governments and organizations in several emerging and developed nations have increased their focus on using sustainable materials and recycling & reusing packaging products to save the environment from the hazardous effects of non-recyclable plastic and other packaging materials. For instance, the EU Waste Framework Directive set a target for 50% of waste to be recycled by 2020. The regulation placed a legal obligation on companies over a particular size, make, or use of packaging to make sure that a particular percentage of the packaging released in the market is recycled and recovered. The U.K. parliament set targets for plastic and paper recycling provided by the EU Waste Directive, and the targets for 2020 were 69.5% and 51%, respectively.


Moreover, manufacturers are also taking initiatives by launching sustainable products. For instance, in June 2023, Coca-Cola India launched a new bottle made from 100% rPET (recycled PET) with the support of packaging giant ALPLA. It is the first time when that a 100% rPET bottle has been used in India for food or drinks. Such initiatives will also motivate other small players and even players from other emerging nations to use sustainable packaging.

Beverage Packaging Market Growth Factors


Rising Consumption of Non-Alcoholic Drinks to Contribute to Market Growth


The growing demand for non-alcoholic drinks, such as bottled water, milk, soft drinks, energy drinks, and carbonated drinks is driving the market’s growth. The change in people’s preferences and increase in the consumption of healthy drinks after the COVID-19 outbreak has accelerated the demand for non-alcoholic beverages. These beverages have high health benefits, such as improving digestion, providing instant energy, and enhancing heart health. Owing to this, people are more inclined toward these beverages, thereby increasing the demand for their packaging. Moreover, the rising inclination toward the consumption of ready-to-drink and packed beverages has enhanced the growth of this market. Furthermore, the launch of flavored milk and juices, along with carbonated drinks having attractive packaging, has increased the consumption of these products among children and the elderly population. In addition, the surging e-commerce industry is enhancing the demand for non-alcoholic beverages, such as soft drinks, juices, and packaged milk.


Furthermore, the surging demand for non-alcoholic beer, de-alcoholized wine and alcohol-free liqueurs among younger generations due to fear of overconsumption and health issues is helping in the lucrative growth of this market.


Significant Benefits Offered by Beverage Packaging to Drive Market Growth 


This market is experiencing significant growth as it safeguards the product from contamination and harmful rays, and increases product shelf life. Packaging provides an isolated environment during storage and transportation, and prevents the product from coming in contact with micro-organisms. Moreover, the decorative designs attract a large customer base and provide as much information to the consumer, helping the market grow. Beverages are prone to leakages, and tough packaging materials, such as metal cans and plastic bottles keep liquids safe. In addition, rising use of tetra packs to pack drinks is anticipated to aid the market growth as they are sustainable and increase the shelf life of liquids.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Strict Rules Against Use of Non-Recyclable Materials to Restrict Market Growth


Governments of developed and emerging nations have imposed stringent rules and regulations to ban single-use plastic and curb the usage of non-recyclable plastic. Plastic and glass are widely used in beverage packaging as they protect the liquids from leakage and contamination. But they are not easy to recycle and can thus hamper the growth of this market. Moreover, the lack of manufacturing units and machinery in developing nations for recycling this material will impede the growth of this industry. For instance, according to the World Economic Forum, the total bottle recycling rate for 2020 was 27.2%, down from 28.7% in 2019, and 2.5 million plastic bottles are thrown away in the U.S. every hour, increasing landfill waste.


Manufacturers are shifting from plastic and glass to metal and paper as the latter are sustainable. However, it is expected to increase the manufacturing cost and price of the end product, thereby affecting the consumers’ buying behavior.
