簡介目錄

由於食品行業的需求不斷成長,預計到2028 年,全球蒸煮包裝市場將大幅成長。 2019 年,歐洲銷售了超過30 億件裝有食品的蒸餾包裝。

飲料行業的需求不斷成長

蒸煮包裝在減少浪費方面發揮著重要作用,並使線上零售商能夠適應電子商務包裝的改進。飲料行業對蒸餾包裝的需求很大,因為它具有處理簡單、製造和運輸成本低等優點。

飲料需要輕質包裝,尤其是用小袋包裝時。隨著小袋設計的不斷改進,越來越多的人開始購買採用蒸餾包裝的奶昔、水果飲料、纖維補充劑、營養保健品和冷榨果汁。蒸餾包裝可以在不使用防腐劑的情況下,通過保持pH 值在4.0 到7.0 之間的飲料產品的品質和安全性,對飲料進行殺菌。公司正在使用具有阻隔性(如耐熱、防潮和防病菌)和排除潛在氧化等特性的包裝材料。人們更加關注自己的健康和體能。他們願意花更多的錢購買既能提神又能健康飲食的商品。

例如,2019 年,ProAmpac 推出了PRO-POUCH,用於裝酒和熱灌裝等飲料。

因此,飲料行業對輕質、軟性包裝材料的需求不斷增加,預計未來幾年全球蒸餾包裝市場將保持成長。

防止食品浪費的智慧包裝需求不斷成長

蒸煮包裝顯示出多種防止食物變質的跡象,智慧包裝提供了多種減少食物浪費的方法。因此,不斷增加的食物浪費正在吸引消費者購買智慧包裝食品。方便、攜帶、新鮮和保存期限長是即食食品、簡便食品和加工食品包裝的主要特性。因此,需要智慧包裝,如具有高阻隔性的小袋,使其足夠堅固,能夠經受住蒸煮過程,同時能夠使產品保鮮更長時間,並保護產品的口味和香氣。此外,蒸煮包裝理念還能為客戶提供保持食品品質的能力,而這正是購買包裝食品的一個重要因素。因此,食品行業對智慧包裝日益成長的需求將促進市場在未來幾年的成長。

加工食品需求成長

由於忙碌的日程安排和生活方式的改變,人們對加工食品的依賴性越來越大。與此同時,食品和飲料行業的快速成長以及消費者對可隨身攜帶的食品和飲料的需求激增,都促進了全球加工食品貿易的成長。此外,已開發國家和發展中國家的政府正在通過激勵措施和融資支持加工食品需求的成長,同時監督商品的衛生狀況。

例如,SPS Pouches 有限公司生產了一種蒸餾型自立袋包裝,適用於需要在包裝容器內加熱和消毒的食品和消費品。

所有這些因素都支持了對蒸煮包裝的需求,從而促進了全球蒸煮包裝市場在預測年份的成長。

簡介目錄
Product Code: 15090

Global Retort Packaging Market is anticipated to grow significantly through 2028 due to increasing demand from the food industry. In 2019, more than 3 billion units of retort packages containing food were sold in Europe.

Retort Packaging is made from laminated layers of flexible plastic and metal foils which help to protect food from spills, contamination, and wounds. Retort packaging is cost-effective, lightweight, and shelf stable. With rising demand for packaging solutions that can extend the shelf-life of various food products like seafood, meat, baby food, poultry, and pet food will expectedly result in propelling the market demand in the upcoming years.

Increasing Demand from Beverage Sector

Retort packaging plays a significant part in decreasing waste and enables online retailers to adapt to improved packaging for e-commerce. Retort packaging is highly demanded in the beverage industry due to advantages including simple handling and low manufacturing and shipping costs.

Beverages require lightweight packaging, especially when packaged in pouches. As pouch designs are getting better, more people are buying shakes, fruit drinks, fiber supplements, nutraceuticals, and cold-pressed juices in retort packages. Retort packaging sterilizes beverages by preserving the quality and safety of beverage products with pH levels between 4.0 and 7.0 without using preservatives. Companies are using packaging material with characteristics like barrier resistance (like heat, moisture, and germs) and the exclusion of potential oxidation. People are paying more attention to their health and fitness. They are ready to spend more money on goods that offer refreshments as well as a healthy diet.

For instance, in 2019, ProAmpac introduced PRO-POUCH, used for beverages such as alcohol and hot fill.

Thus, increasing demand for lightweight and flexible packaging material by the beverage industry anticipates the growth of Global Retort Packaging Market in the upcoming years.

Rising Demand for smart packaging to prevent food wastage

Retort packaging shows several signs to prevent food spoiling, with smart packaging offering a variety of ways to decrease food waste. As a result, rising food waste is luring customers to purchase food in smart packaging. Convenience, portability, freshness, and long shelf life are the key properties of ready-to-eat, convenience, and processed food packaging. Thus, smart packaging, such as a pouch with high barrier properties, is required so that it is strong enough to survive the retort process, at the same time as being able to keep the product fresher for longer and protect the product's taste and aroma. Moreover, retort packaging ideas provide customers the ability to retain the quality of the food items, which is an important factor while purchasing packed food. Therefore, the growing demand for smart packaging from the food industry will result in the growth of the market in the projected years.

Growing Demand for Processed Food

Due to hectic schedules and changing lifestyles, the dependence on processed food is growing. Along with it, the fast growth of the food and beverage industry and the surge in consumer demand for food and drinks can be consumed while on the go, all of which have contributed to an increase in the worldwide trade of processed foods. In addition, the governments of developed and developing countries are supporting this rise in demand for processed foods through incentives and financing while simultaneously monitoring the sanitation of goods.

For instance, SPS Pouches Ltd. produced a retort type of stand-up pouch packaging suited to food and consumable items that need to be heated and sterilized within their packaging container.

All these factors support the demand for retort packaging, which led to the growth of the Global Retort Packaging Market during the forecast year.
