Market Trends of Liquid Packaging Cartons Industry

Milk and Other Dairy Beverages to Witness Growth

  • Milk is one of the main staple foods and a crucial component of a balanced diet as it contains a high percentage of calcium and other essential nutrients. Various research studies have shown that milk offers health benefits, such as preventing diabetes and enhancing bone health and healthy brain functioning.
  • Consumers' growing preference for packaged goods like milk drives the need for liquid carton packaging solutions. The demand for brick-liquid cartons is fueled by increased sustainability concerns surrounding plastic usage.
  • Milk has traditionally been packaged in cartons because they protect food and are eco-friendly. Paperboard is one of the materials that is regularly utilized to create milk packing cartons. Milk cartons, commonly referred to as gable-top cartons, are a type of poly-coated paper packaging.
  • Milk cartons have a longer shelf life and a lower risk of contamination. Because liquid packing cartons are easy to reclose after use, consumption of these containers is anticipated to increase more quickly than in the previous 10 years.
  • Steady growth in the dairy beverage market, especially in Asia-Pacific, has led to the development of aseptic packaging for milk. Advantages such as long shelf life and no refrigeration may also aid the growth of cartons over traditional packaging methods.

Consumer perceptions of and interactions with packaging are evolving quickly. Vendors are emphasizing more on sustainability, and creative and more sustainable paperboard carton packaging is replacing old rigid packaging options in the country. Liquid packaging is anticipated to become a more practical and affordable alternative due to the market's growing desire for consumer-friendly packaging and enhanced product protection.
  • Natural materials are readily available and used to make cartons for liquid packing. In addition, from the standpoints of manufacturers and consumers, liquid packing cartons are increasingly being used in industrial and institutional settings, thus contributing to the expansion of the segment.
