Asia Pacific Pouch Packaging Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024-2029)

Asia-Pacific Pouch Packaging Industry Overview

In APAC, the pouch packaging sector is fragmented, spearheaded by prominent domestic entities like Toppan Holdings Inc. and Toyo Seikan Co. Ltd, alongside global players such as Amcor Group GmbH and Sonoco Products Company. These frontrunners actively pursue strategies like mergers, acquisitions, and product launches to fortify their foothold in the region.

• August 2023: Dow, a prominent global materials science firm, collaborated with Mengniu, a top player in China's dairy industry, to introduce a pioneering all-polyethylene (PE) yogurt pouch specifically crafted for recyclability. This joint effort underscores both companies' dedication to advancing China's circular economy. The all-PE packaging, made possible by INNATE TF-BOPE resins, marks a significant milestone for the dairy sector. It not only facilitates the integration of traditionally hard-to-recycle packaging into closed-loop recycling systems but also underscores a commitment to responsible recycling and mechanical recycling technologies. Ultimately, this move broadens consumer choices toward more sustainable packaging solutions.
• April 2023: SIG unveiled its second production facility in Palghar, India. This plant specializes in crafting SIG's bag-in-box and spouted pouch packaging, which were formerly associated with Scholle IPN and Bossar. Situated 90 km north of Mumbai, the new plant is equipped with a range of production assets. These assets include blown film extruders, injection molding cells, bag-in-box manufacturing machines, and a dedicated mold-making facility. The latter focuses on creating fitments and closures for both bag-in-box and spouted pouches.
