The global stand-up pouches market size was valued at USD 32.27 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 34.38 billion in 2024 to USD 64.17 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.11% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific dominated the stand-up pouches market with a market share of 33.13% in 2023.


Stand-up pouches are ideal containers to store liquid, solid, powdered, and non-food items that help the food stay fresh for a long period. Rising demand for various types of stand-up pouches from the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries are key factors driving the market growth. The increase in the demand for packaged food and packaging options due to features such as spouts and zippers, among others, which offer greater convenience and functionality, are the major factors driving the market growth. The increasing concern about sustainability drives manufacturers to use sustainable and recyclable pouches, and it is expected to witness capital investments in sustainable product innovation and expansion of the recycling sector.


In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic the market had a mixed impact, and the supply chain disruption impacted product sales. The manufacturers were disturbed due to the shutdown and shortage of raw materials supply. However, there was a notable rise in the consumption of packaged food items. In addition, a sizable portion of people chose ready-to-cook, ready-to-eat food, and packaged meal ingredients. Moreover, the market is anticipated to grow rapidly during the forecast period.


Stand-up Pouches Market Trends


Increasing Demand for Durable and Lightweight Stand-up Pouches


The increasing popularity of the product among retailers, consumers, and traders is due to their recyclable and lightweight nature, lower transport costs, ease of use, and different benefits, boosting stand-up pouches market growth. These products are also made from 100% recyclable material, require less fuel due to their lightweight nature, and have less carbon footprint. Moreover, these pouches are made from extremely durable materials that cannot be damaged or crushed, such as glass or cardboard.

Stand-up Pouches Market Growth Factors


Increase in the Demand for Packaged Food & Beverages to Propel Market Growth


The on-the-go lifestyle and increasing health awareness significantly contribute to the demand for packaged food and beverages, which compels the need for these pouches. Long commuting times, working hours, and consumer preference for convenience food drive the demand for snacks and ready-to-eat foods. These products offer greater shipping convenience compared to rigid bottles, glass jars, and cans, so several manufacturers widely prefer these pouches. Hence, the development of sustainable, user-friendly pouches is poised to increase the demand for the product.


Opposition to Metal Cans and Preference for Flexible Packaging is Increasing Product Demand


The metal cans used to store food and beverages are slowly being replaced by flexible products as consumers and manufacturers reject the metal cans packaging and favor pouches, which is increasing the demand for the product. Food metal cans are notoriously difficult to open, can be the heaviest form of packaging, and are responsible for a large carbon footprint. In addition, metal cans cannot alter design and shape, and all look similar on the shelf. These cans are also a risk to the environment and are old-fashioned. On the other hand, with stand-up pouches, the chances of spillage are also reduced considerably.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Stringent Government Regulations on the Usage of Plastic May Hamper Market Growth


Stringent regulations imposed on the usage of flexible plastic packaging may restrain market growth. It may affect the manufacturer's profit even if there are minor flaws in packing, which can lead to product contamination. Packaging waste from plastic harms the ecosystem as it takes decades to decompose, and the sorting, separation, and recycling of flexible materials are challenging. In addition, multilayer packaging is typically not recyclable.
