Key Market Trends

Plastic is Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share

- Plastics are more efficient material for food packaging than other alternatives, because plastics are energy efficient to manufacture and they are also lighter than the alternative materials. For instance, just two pounds of plastic can deliver 10 gallons of a beverage, whereas, three pounds of aluminum, eight pounds of steel, or over 40 pounds of glass is needed to deliver the same amount of beverage.
- In the powder milk formula segment, the busy life of working parents has led to the launch of single-serve plastic sachets by various brands. Thus, this increases the importance toward ready nutrition products and further boosts the market growth.
- HDPE is the most widely used type of plastic packaging material. It is used to make many types of bottles and containers. Unpigmented bottles are translucent and sturdy, have good barrier properties, and are well suited for packaging of products with a shorter shelf life, such as milk.
- With the expanding infant nutrition market, it is evident that nutritional product demand, such as milk, is increasing and it is directly driving the baby food packaging market.

Asia Pacific to Witness a Significant Growth

- The Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period, owing to the increased use of packaged baby food products by the urban population. Additionally, with the rising disposable income of people in the emerging economies and their busy lifestyles, there is a significant growth in the market in the Asia-Pacific region.
- Moreover, in the Asia-Pacific region, China is expected to have the highest share in the baby food packaging market, followed by Japan and India. The increasing awareness of consumers regarding the nutritional benefits of packaged baby food products is expected to drive the growth of the market.
- Additionally, the increased demand for convenient baby edible products due to the increasing number of working women is predicted to drive the growth of the market studied.
