Pouches

Demand for pouches in the US will grow 4.4 percent annually through 2020 to $10.1 billion. Growth will be driven by the introduction of pouch packaging into new markets and the integration of high value features, such as resealable closures and spouts, in more mature markets. Stand-up pouches will remain the fastest growing type.This study analyzes the $8.2 billion US pouch industry. It presents historical demand data (2005, 2010 and 2015) and forecasts (2020 and 2025) by product type (e.g., flat, stand-up), feature (resealable, vacuum, retort, shaped, spouted, aseptic), market (e.g., food and beverage packaging, nonfood packaging), and production method (form/fill/seal, preformed).The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share, and profiles 38 industry players, including Bemis, Coveris, and ProAmpac.
