KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Flat pouches are sealed, small, and portable packaging solutions that provide convenience in handling. Flat pouches are generally made of flexible materials, enabling them to take any shape. The surging demand for flexible packaging globally is driving the growth of the flat pouches market. Flat pouches offer efficient and economical packaging solutions, ensuring pouches don’t have gussets or folds and can be side welded or bottom sealed. Furthermore, the easy customizability and printability of the flat pouches are thriving in the growth of this market.



  • According to the Flexible Packaging Association, flexible packaging is the second largest packaging segment, holding a 19% share in the packaging in 2019, and food held a 52% share of flexible packaging. Thus, the increasing demand for flexible packaging is also thriving in the growth of flat pouches.


The shifting trend of consuming processed food and the inclination of people toward packed food due to changing and busy lifestyles provides new opportunities for the flat pouches market. Moreover, the increasing consumption of powdered tea & coffee and food products that have quick turnarounds, such as snacks, nuts, chips, and others, is bolstering the growth of this market. The accelerating use of flat pouches in the packaging of pet food and agricultural products such as fertilizers and seeds to keep the product fresh and prevent it from contamination is boosting the growth of the flat pouches market.

The flat pouches cannot stand on themselves, thus need to be put in trays and cannot be used for display and advertising. Flat pouches are not reusable and increase waste, unlike cans, bottles, and pouches with zippers. In certain European nations, single-use plastic packaging is banned. Such factors are impeding the growth of this market. However, the development of zipper locks and reusable flat pouches is helping the market to deal with growth-restricting factors.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE FLAT POUCHES MARKET


The sudden and inevitable coronavirus outbreak impacted all industries and led to a fall in the demand and supply of raw materials, resulting in the negative growth of the market. The food & beverage and agricultural sector observed moderate growth due to the increasing use of single-use packaging during the pandemic. The pharmaceutical industry witnessed positive growth while other industries witnessed negative growth.
