Global Flexible Plastic Pouches Market is valued at approximately USD 50.42 Billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.5% over the forecast period 2021-2027. Flexible plastic pouches are single-use bags that are manufactured by the usage of plastic. These bags are majorly used for packaging all types of products from snack foods to industrial liquids. These pouches are gaining huge traction for food packaging as they are environmentally friendly, and resalable, along with economical in comparison to the metal, glass, and cardboard containers. Accordingly, the growth of the food & beverage sector, rising applications of flexible plastic pouches across the various end-use industries, along with increasing e-commerce trading activity and rapid industrialization is augmenting the market growth. For instance, as per the Food Export Association, Japan is the third-largest packaged food market globally, subsequent to the US and China. In 2019, the packaged food industry in Japan is accounted for USD 182.1 billion, with a growth rate of approximately 3.3% and USD 5.7 billion since 2015. However, stringent government regulations and the availability of substitutes impede the growth of the market over the forecast period of 2021-2027. Also, the growing trend of using pouches in alcohol packaging is anticipated to act as a catalyzing factor for the market demand during the forecast period.
