Thus, rise in wine production across several regions is expected to augment the product demand in the coming years. Escalating demand from household products segment is also expected to drive the market on account of increasing consumption of the household cleaners, such as surface deodorizers and surface cleaners. Rising demand for hygiene and personal care products due to growing urban population will also boost the market development. In addition, demand for low-foam detergents that are usually packaged in bag-in-box containers will drive the market further.

On the other hand, product demand may be hampered due to the availability of substitute products at lower prices, such as plastic and glass bottles. Increasing demand for plastic bottles from the soft drink industry is expected to hinder market growth over the forecasts period. However, rising demand for innovative packaging designs for food and beverage products to attract consumers is expected to have a positive impact on the industry growth in the years to come.

Moreover, major companies in the market focus on the development of new technology, in terms of design and packaging solution, which is also likely to spur the market growth. For instance, a U.K.-based company Elite Packaging has developed gusseted bag that is sealed in every corner. This design offers more product stability and efficiency. In addition, it reduces the space required for the bag in the box container, making it more compact.

Material Insights

The market was led by the Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) material segment. Increasing use of box-in-container in food & beverage, household products, industrial liquids, and other packaging applications is expected to drive the demand for LDPE materials over the forecasts period. Low prices and abundant availability of LDPEs is also projected to propel the segment growth. Moreover, they offer advantages, such as reduction in the packaging waste, reliable packaging, superior performance over a wide temperature range, high oxygen barrier property, and chemical resistance. This factor is expected to fuel their demand further.

Application Insights

Based on application, the global market has been segmented into Food & Beverage (F&B), industrial liquids, and household products. Food & beverage segment accounts for the maximum share of the product demand; thus, plays a major role in the market growth. Factors, such as growing awareness about healthier products along with rising disposable income levels and improved standards of life in developing countries, are also estimated to boost the segment growth, thereby driving the overall market.

Introduction of packaging solutions for F&B applications that offer ease of consumption is likely to be the major growth-driving factor over the coming years. In addition, F&B manufacturers are adding various options, such as adding nutritious products to their product line and offering healthier snack items, along with innovative packaging, which, in turn, is likely to fuel demand for bag-in-box container.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific is expected to register the fastest CAGR over the forecast period due to growing F&B sector in Asia Pacific. Rapid industrialization in countries, such as India and China coupled with rising adoption of packaged foods and beverages in the region is expected to propel the demand further.
