DRIVING FACTORS


The rise in demand for on-the-go Snacks and Trend Towards Convenient Packaging Means to Fuel Demand


Snacks packaging which offers portability and portion control such with re-closable stand-up pouches have become popular, as they offer consumers the ability to eat small amount time to time from a freestanding and re-closable packaging. Consequently, the food manufacturers are observing an increase in the demand for snack foods, which can present the healthiness and nutritional value of complete meals, and also offer portion control, convenience, and portability to their customers.


Moreover, food technology is improving rapidly over the past decades, which has marked a shift in consumer behavior toward food. People prefer treats meals which are healthy, portable, conveniently portion-controlled snacks. Increased importance on “clean-eating” and natural energy-boosting snacks are becoming more popular and thus increasing the demand. The trend towards snacking rather than taking larger, and lengthy meals is also boosting the demand further.


Opposition to the metal cans and preference to aseptic packaging is increasing the demand for stand-up pouches


The food & beverages metal cans are slowly losing the war against the flexible stand-up pouches as consumers are rejecting the metal can and opting for in favor of the pouches. The sales of the canned food have become static and are witnessing a surge in the pet food segment, due to the increasing usage of stand-up pouches packaging. The reasons that the stand-ups pouches are preferred over metal cans are varied, some of it are food metal cans notoriously difficult to open, and it can be the heaviest form of packaging and hence is responsible for a lot of carbon footprint. In addition to it, one cannot alter the shape and design of metal cans and they all end up looking similar on the shelf. Additionally, metal can be also considered old fashioned and risk to the environment, and with the help of stand-up pouches the chances of spillage are also lessened considerably.


Moreover, these pouches have become popular owing to the fact that they are made by blending several layers of plastics which allows newer printing and designing techniques to be used on the packet. This technology helps sterilize the package and the food product separately and then combine and seal it under a sterilized environment. To support this packaging innovation, Uflex Ltd., a packaging company based in India invested in a large number of High-Speed Pouch Making Machines of wide range for making three side seal pouch, pouch with zipper, stand-up pouches.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


The flexible nature of stand-up pouches to lose grip can restrain the market.


Stand-up pouches are attractive for product display, and is capable of standing-up right in the shelf or at the corner. It does not impact the product ingredients inside the pouch, even if it also falls down, unlike glass or metal cans. However, as when these pouches are fully filled they stand upright but as the contents of the pouch starts emptying, the pouch loses its ability to stand tall and falls down. This may be a major challenge to the market in the long run.
