A flexible package is defined as a package or container made of flexible or easily container
made of flexible or easily yielding materials that, when filled or yielding materials that, when
filled or closed, can be readily changed in shape. closed, can be readily changed in shape.
The construction can be of paper, plastic, plastic film, foil or any combination of these.
Increase in demand from healthcare, food & beverages, household products, cosmetics and
toiletries, sporting goods and other agricultural products industries will drive the flexible
packaging market growth. Due to lightweight characteristic and ease of use, logistics
companies are shifting to flexible packaging materials consequently boosting the market
growth. Manufacturers are moving towards flexible packaging as it creates less waste
because of the lower utilization of crude materials, requires less storage room along with
easy transport. Technological advancement, improving barrier properties, developing thin
elastic material coupled with innovations in high-speed filling equipment will further drive
the market growth. Easy transportation and storage along with sustainable properties
fueled the product demand. Export trading industry expansion is key factors enhancing the
overall industry growth. However, strict government regulations regarding polymer and
recyclability of packaging material may hinder the flexible packaging market growth.
Increasing aluminum and polymer prices due to political unrest may impact the flexible
packaging market price trend.
The global Flexible Packaging market is segmented on the basis of Type, Material, Printing
Technology and Application. On the basis of Type, it is segmented into Stand-Up Pouches,
Flat Pouches, Gusseted Bags, Wicketed Bags, Wraps, and Rollstock. Stand up pouches and
pillow pouches are the most widely used flexible packaging products. Pillow pouches will
witness high gains because of their increasing usage in food & beverages and dairy industry.
Low cost, high sealing ability, and cost-efficient transportation are some of the key
properties responsible for the growth of the market. High barrier properties against
moisture and oxygen coupled with low material usage and cost-effective properties will fuel

to extend the shelf life. Other flexible packaging products include retort pouches, four side
seal pouches, blisters, lidding, and portion packs. On the basis of Material, it is segmented
into Plastic Films, Paper, Aluminum Foil, and Bioplastics. Polymers were one of the major
contributing materials, accounted for a major share of this market segment. Durability and
cost-effectiveness make the product highly demanding among the users. Rising
environmental concerns and stringent government regulation regarding CO2 emission may
drive the industry towards more eco-friendly and biodegradable materials including
cellulosic and bioplastics. Recent innovations in shale gas, growing PE film usage and
reducing PE resin cost will further boost the polyethylene flexible packaging demand. A high
moisture barrier, good low-temperature performance, high durability as well as ability to
seal without any coating are some properties influencing material penetration. HDPE, LDPE,
and LLDPE have majorly recognized PE products. Paper flexible packaging is widely utilized
in medical and pharmaceutical industries with an aim to reduce infections and
contamination. On the basis of Printing Technology, it is segmented into Flexography,

Rotogravure, Digital Printing, and Other Printing Technologies. On the basis of Application, it
is segmented into Promote, Food and Beverages, Healthcare, Cosmetics & Toiletries, and
Other Applications. A rise in the demand for packaged and processed food as a result of
changing lifestyle and eating habits has positively influenced flexible packaging market share
from food and beverages application. The segment accounts for the major share of the
market in terms of revenue. Increasing spending on bakery and cereal goods along with
rising consumer consciousness pertaining to food safety and hygiene will drive the industry
growth in this segment. Digital printing technology is widely used in this industry to serve
the purpose of labeling on the flexible packaging. Enhanced safety, less maintenance,
efficient energy consumption and minimizing waste are some of the beneficial factors
enhancing digital printing. Rising consumer demand for processed and packed food items
and shifting preference for aesthetically appealing products will fuel the flexible packaging
market demand. Increasing extended shelf life requirement along with preservation from
contamination open new avenues for industry growth in food and beverages and healthcare
sector. Healthcare segment is projected to register highest growth rate in this market
segment due to the rising disposable income accompanied by regulatory support.
On the basis of geography, the market is analyzed under various regions namely North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa. Asia Pacific
