Market Insights

Flexible packaging is a package or a part of a package, whose shape can be changed. Bags and pouches are common examples of flexible packaging. Flexible packaging combines the best qualities of paper, film, and aluminum foil to deliver a wide range of protective properties while using a minimum of the material. They offer several advantages such as light-weight, re-sealable nature, easy mobility, increasing the shelf of several products, less energy requirement and waste reduction among others.

Flexible packaging has become an imperative part of the packaging industry. Since the influx of flexible packaging, cellophane was the only material used, and over time technology and innovation has paved the way for printable substrates that helped to revolutionize light weight packaging which includes enhancements in strength, heightened shelf life, re-sealability and enhanced protection. Developments in the field of flexible packaging have positively influenced the growth of the market. New product designs aim at waste minimization. Moreover, flexible packaging requires less energy and resources as compared to other forms of packaging. This results in reduction in packaging costs, transport costs, and material usage. Further, flexible packaging also offers certain performance advantages over rigid packaging as the usage of flexible packaging reduces transport costs between the converter, packer, retailer and end-user. Demand for high performance films is another key factor fuelling market growth for flexible packaging as well. High performance films are less permeable, thereby increases the shelf life and enhances the flavor of the food product as well.

Based on material type, plastics dominated the global flexible packaging market in 2017 and expected to retain market dominance throughout the forecast period as well.
