• Aseptic packaging involves packaging a product at ultra-high temperature (UHT), sterilizing or sanitizing the packaging separately, and fusing and sealing under sterile atmospheric conditions to avoid viral and bacterial contamination. In addition, it maintains the quality of the package contents and does not require preservatives.
• Sustainable packaging and longer shelf life are essential to consumers in the food and beverage industry. As a result, most food and beverage vendors are inclining toward aseptic packaging due to its cost and environmental benefits. Also, as aseptic packaging supports packaging through recyclable cartons and eco-friendly pouches and bags, which often target consumers that prefer small-quantity packaging and make purchases more frequently, the demand for such products is considerably high worldwide.
• Changing consumer eating habits is increasing the preference for ready-to-eat meals and demand for convenient, high-quality food products, opening more doors for market growth. A gradual increase in global e-commerce sales and growth opportunities in emerging markets is anticipated to present significant opportunities for the sterile packaging market during the forecast period.
• The pharmaceutical industry utilizes aseptic pouches for packaging liquid medications, IV drugs, and other sterile products. Factors driving the growth of the aseptic packaging market include a rising need for biologics and vaccines. The demand is primarily due to the requirement for maintaining sterility and extending shelf life.
• The surge in mergers and acquisitions within the aseptic packaging market signals the strategies of market players to consolidate and capitalize on evolving consumer demands for safe and convenient packaging solutions. For instance, in October 2023, Shandong NewJF Technology Packaging Co. Ltd (NEWJF), a Chinese aseptic packaging enterprise, completed the acquisition of a 28.22% stake in Greatview Aseptic Packaging. This was intended to elevate NEWJF's position in liquid product packaging by enhancing market presence, streamlining operations, and fostering innovations in the rapidly growing market.
