“Shift Towards Sustainable Materials”
- Sustainable packaging is becoming a key trend in the dairy packaging market as consumers increasingly seek environmentally friendly options and companies respond to stricter regulations
- For instance, Danone has committed to making all its packaging recyclable, reusable, or compostable and has introduced plant-based bottles for several of its dairy brands
- Convenience packaging is gaining popularity, especially among urban consumers who prefer single-serve and resealable formats for on-the-go lifestyles
- For instance, Amul and Nestlé have launched portable, easy-to-carry dairy drink packs targeting school-goers and working professionals
- The integration of smart packaging is improving consumer engagement and product traceability in the dairy sector, enhancing both safety and transparency
- For instance, Arla Foods uses QR codes on its milk cartons to provide sourcing and nutritional details, helping consumers make informed choices
- Shelf-stable packaging is expanding as it enables longer product life without refrigeration, making dairy accessible in areas with limited cold chain infrastructure
- For instance, Tetra Pak’s aseptic packaging is widely used for milk and yogurt products in regions such as South Asia and Africa where cold storage is less reliable
