The Global Flexible Paper Packaging Market Size is valued at 66.11 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach 87.89 billion by the year 2031 at a 3.77% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Flexible packaging is a type of packaging that is more adjustable and cost-effective. It is a relatively recent approach in the packaging business that is popular due to its low cost and excellent efficiency. The pharmaceutical industry's increased use of aluminum foils, blister plastic films, and pouches is driving the flexible packaging market expansion.
The widespread use of paper and plastic films to replace glass and rigid polymers in blister material has resulted in the multiple uses of paper and plastic films. Because of their inexpensive cost, lidding films are often utilized in blister packs, followed by aluminum foil. Cosmetics and personal care products, food and drinks, and pharmaceutical goods manufacturers focus on automating packaging functions for offerings and products.
Demand for packaging solutions is increasing due to the introduction of automatic packaging equipment, which raises the need for flexible packaging among significant worldwide end users.
However, the COVID-19 outbreak harmed various businesses, including beverages, pharmaceuticals, and food. Because of the lockdown, transportation and material supply were mainly hampered, and food outlets and restaurants were closed, reflecting the market's expansion. Several industrial units were forced to shut down due to insufficient finances, workers, and raw supplies. The flexible packaging market revenue is expected to increase following the pandemic emergency.
