  • The main growth drivers in the aseptic packaging market are the packaging material's ability to meet the demands for high, consistent product quality and nutrient retention. Also, the capacity to avoid the bisphenol A (BPA) controversy is frequently found in other packaging types, such as can liners. Aseptic packaging has met all these requirements and extends the shelf life of some products by an estimated six to twelve months without refrigeration.
  • Rapid urbanization and the variety of consumer goods are key factors promoting the development of aseptic packaging. The rising demand for processed foods and disposable medical supplies also drives the adoption of aseptic packaging in the region.
  • The altering lifestyles of people have resulted in the shift from home-cooked to ready-to-eat products. These lifestyle changes and consumers' consequent dependence on processed, packaged, and pre-cooked food are increasing the demand for aseptic carton packaging solutions. The advent of supermarket culture has also altered the shopping landscape and increased the need for packaging, especially in food and beverage products.
  • Aseptic packaging reduces the need to add preservatives to the product, which is gaining attention among consumers who are focusing on natural and no-preservative products. Also, aseptic packaging helps reduce shipping and distribution costs by eliminating the need for refrigerated, more relaxed environments during shipping and distribution.
  • The regional aseptic packaging market is in its early stages. However, increasing concerns regarding health and product shelf life are some of the major factors affecting its growth in the region.
