What Are The Essential Drivers Behind The Growth Of The Liquid Packaging Market?
The surge in demand for bendable packaging is playing a key role in propelling the expansion of the liquid packaging market. When you say flexible packaging, you're referring to a kind of packaging that can easily alter its shape when filled or in use. This type of packaging is heavily utilized in liquid packaging because it is transport-friendly and it enhances the product's life span. For instance, an article posted by Sustainable Packaging News in May 2022 highlighted that the demand for flexible packaging solutions in the food and beverage business applications is skyrocketing because flexible materials, like aluminium, may reduce carbon emissions by up to 75% as compared to other substitutes. Flexible packaging for edibles is an idea being mulled over by many food companies. The market is projected to cross its present estimated value of USD 390 billion by 2028, buoyed by emerging trends that are redefining the flexible packaging industry's portfolio. Thus, the escalating demand for flexible packaging is fuelling the augmentation of the liquid packaging market.
