Pouches Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing consumption of convenience meals
Convenience meals have seen a rise in the rate of consumption over the years in both developed countries and emerging economies. The major reason for this shift is the changing lifestyle of working individuals with hectic schedules opting for ready-to-eat meals. Additionally, the demand for convenience foods is propelled by the additive-free and minimally processed products offered in pouches that have a long shelf life. Consumers who do not have the necessary culinary skills or access to ingredients have progressively opted for ready meal alternatives. This has made the packaged food manufacturers make significant improvements in the ready meals segment with attractive marketing strategies, promising consumers a fine dining experience. The increasing aging population has also affected the consumption of ready meals as people belonging to age group of 65 and above prefer reduced effort when it comes to cooking and food preparation. Growing busy lifestyles of consumers and rising working population in emerging countries are expected to be key factors augmenting the growth of ready meals market. Moreover, the penetration of retail chains and e-commerce mode of distribution are also likely to play a pivotal role in expansion of ready meals market. Thus, the growing ready meals market is expected to offer lucrative opportunities to manufacturers of pouches.
Driver: Need for extended shelf life
Many canned foods and staples have a relatively long shelf life. However, food stored beyond date or longer than recommended time on package tends to change in terms of flavor, color, and quality. Refrigerators have temperature limits that need to be maintained, which keeps food from spoiling, therefore, packaged food products are heavily dependent on food chains for the transportation of frozen food products. Foods with longer shelf life make the logistical operations easier as well as the packaged food more accessible to regions located far away from the production facility. Therefore, extended shelf life has been one of the prior requirements of packaged food manufacturers
The products can be shelved longer in supermarkets and by consumers without occupying much space, which makes their usage extremely convenient. The benefits of extended shelf life include the product staying longer on shelf to reduced product returns and wastage along with extensive product distribution. Another important advantage of longer shelf life is the ability to stockpile highly seasonal products that are only available for a limited period of time. The stand-up and retort-based packaging solutions can eliminate the necessity of additional processing, which is carried out to make the product last longer.
Restraint: Unsustainability of pouch-based packaging solutions
Plastic pouch is a non-biodegradable and unsustainable material and can adversely impact human as well as animal life. In addition, the recycling rate of plastic waste products is low compared to the consumption rate, which ultimately pollutes land, ocean, and drinking water. According to the UN (United Nations), 300 million tons of plastic waste is generated every year globally, which is nearly equivalent to the weight of the global human population. To curb this humongous amount of plastic waste generated annually, many regulatory bodies and governments around the world have imposed restrictions on the generation of primary plastic waste over the years. The regulatory bodies are emphasizing the circular economy under which higher importance would be given to reusability of packaging products and strengthening of recycling activities. The pouches may be overwrapped during shipment to protect them from punctures and leakages causing the usage of excess plastic, unlike metal cans. The cost of overwrap, along with the plastic material used, adds to the unsustainability of pouches. However, many manufacturers are trying to develop pouches with single raw material to sustain high temperatures. Regardless of the single material pouches being recyclable, they are relatively new and cost more than conventional pouches.
