North America Spouted Pouches Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, challenges, and restrains. All of this is discussed in detail below:

Drivers

• Rising Demand of E-Retail Sector Across the Region

The e-retail market is growing as the implementation of the 4G, and 5G era is predicted to have a high-quality impact on the market as it provides uninterrupted, seamless access to online shopping platforms. Moreover, the adoption of smartphones is gaining momentum, which is increasing the popularity of online purchasing for the consumer. Thus, the developing use of smartphones is projected to propel the e-retail market over the forecast length.

An increasing number of small and medium enterprises is also projected to escalate the demand for spouted pouches over the forecast period. Small and medium businesses are growing significantly. Thus, the growing online market is powering the market growth of spouted pouches.

• Increased Demand for Spouted Pouches in Food and Beverage and Pharmaceutical Industries

Increasing health awareness and growing per capita income has resulted in a rise in demand for packaged food and beverages, which, in turn, drives the need for spouted pouches. Spout pouches are used for cocktails, petrol station screen wash, baby food, energy drinks, and many others. Also, spouted pouches are used for children's food, in particular. Moreover, manufacturers are turning to spouted pouches for fruit juice and vegetable puree products.

The per capita income directly impacts increased spending on health and wellness products such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, or foods and beverages. This, in turn, boosts the demand for spouted pouch packaging. Hence, an increase in per capita income worldwide is a driving factor for the growth of the spouted pouches market.

Opportunity

• Adoption of Innovative Packaging Technologies and Solutions

Spouted pouches face a strong demand due to their eye-catching and high-quality packaging from the pharmaceutical, food, and beverage, and nutraceuticals industries.With revolutionary advances being made in the development and manufacture of pharmaceutical and food products over the past few years, along with greater access to these products, packaging equipment is evolving in an equally impressive manner. Sophisticated, high-tech systems now address the most diverse packaging product requirements.

According to a report published by The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies (PMMI), counterfeiting is growing at an alarming rate. Brand integrity is most important when dealing with nutraceuticals products, as many customers consume nutraceuticals. In addition, there is significant competition in the nutraceutical packaging industry. Hence, manufacturers are adapting to various advanced packaging techniques, including hologram-enabled authentication, anti-diversion codes, unique fingerprints, and invisible inks and technologies to protect the products.

Restraints/ Challenges

• Availability of Substitute Packaging Products

Rigid packaging is the substitute for spouted pouches packaging. It usually includes tin cans, cardboard or plastic boxes, or glass containers. For instance, aerosol spray cans, soda cans, self-locking cartons, bottles, and jars.

Rigid packaging is heavier than flexible, for instance, spouted pouches packaging. This is because rigid packaging is often made from denser and thicker materials such as paperboard boxes, tin cans, or glass bottles. On the other hand, flexible packaging, such as sealed pouches, uses lighter materials, such as plastic or polypropylene. However, rigid packages generally take up more space as they cannot be squeezed together when bundled.

Rigid packaging is meant to prevent the deformation of its inner contents. However, it is prone to external deformation. Whereas flexible packaging does not dent or deform easily. Although such packs could be damaged during shipping if pierced by a sharp object, flexible packaging is less likely to be affected by cosmetic abrasion.

• Recycling and Environmental Concerns Associated with Spouted Pouches Packaging

Many environmental concerns are associated with plastic spouted bags, as plastic bags kill about 100,000 animals annually. Plastic is the new GMO. It's experiencing similar obstruction due to the large amounts of plastic produced each year that wind up in landfills and the ocean. Many animals, including whales, dolphins, turtles, penguins, and dolphins, ingest plastic bags as it is mistaken for food. For instance, sea turtles mistake floating plastic shopping baggage for jellyfish. Plastic can take up to 2000 years to decompose. All of the plastic that has ever been manufactured still lingers inside the environment.

A typical chemical substance present in plastic packaging is Bisphenol-A (BPA). BPA helps to make plastic extra flexible and sturdy. However, BPA contributes to critical health risks, mainly when it comes in contact with meals. Research on animals has discovered that high doses of BPA can undermine reproductive features. BPA can also lead to various serious fitness problems, which include diabetes, liver toxicity, and coronary heart ailment. This chemical can also have unfavourable results on the mind.
