Aseptic Packaging Market

The aseptic packaging market size was valued at $15,408.8 million in 2020, and is expected to reach $32,301.4 million by 2028, registering a CAGR of 9.8% from 2021 to 2028. 

The aseptic packaging market was initially hampered owing to restrictions on hotels and retail sales of food & beverages was also decreased. However, the market started recovering as it is an essential service for food and beverage industry.

Aseptic packaging is a process in which a beverage or food product is packed under ultra-high temperature (UHT) and its package is sterilized or disinfected discretely and then fused and sealed under sterilized atmospheric conditions to avoid contamination with viruses and bacteria. Cans, containers, cartons, and other aseptic packages are produced using material such as plastic, glass, paperboard, or metal. Aseptic packaging increases shelf life of packaged products. In addition, it is eco-friendly. 

Moreover, it maintains quality of contents packed inside and requires no preservatives, which acts as a boon for the global aseptic packaging market. Globally, governments of all regions have increased their spending on the healthcare sector. Moreover, reuse and recycling of packaging materials has gained significant attention over past few years. Plastics play a significant role in the packaging industry for both functional and economic reasons. These are some of the major driving factors for the aseptic packaging market. 

However, fluctuating prices of raw materials used by packaging companies such as polymer, board, paper, glass, aluminum, and steel acts as restraint for the aseptic packaging market. Furthermore, during the COVID-19 outbreak, construction, manufacturing, and oil & gas industries were majorly affected. Construction activities were also stopped or restricted to a huge extent. Manufacturing and transportation activities along with their supply chains were also hampered on a global level, which directly hampered the aseptic packaging market growth for a brief time. 

However, the market gained stability in third and fourth quarter of 2020. Moreover, gradually all industries are resuming their regular manufacturing and services. This is further expected to lead to re-initiation of aseptic packaging companies at their full-scale capacities, which is expected to help the market to start to recover by the end of 2021.

On the contrary, gradual rise in e-commerce sales globally and growth opportunities in emerging markets of developing countries are expected to be major opportunities for growth of the aseptic packaging market during the forecast period.
