The Spanish pouch packaging market is of paramount importance and plays a vital role in the country. As Spain's economic situation improves, packaging companies are shifting their focus from additional extensive and cost-effective packaging options to smaller and more intricate formats that provide more significant profit margins.

• Many companies in the country's packaging industry focus on manufacturing plastic packaging and related materials. Pouch packaging, known for its lightweight, convenience, and cost-effectiveness, is favored for perishables like various end-user industries such as food, personal care, cosmetics, and more, bolstering its sustained adoption. Key drivers for the region's packaging industry growth include rising demands for compact, visually appealing packages that offer exceptional presentation.
• Over the last decade, the packaging industry has consistently grown, propelled by evolving substrate preferences, emerging market opportunities, and shifting ownership dynamics. Notably, sustainability and environmental concerns, particularly pronounced in developed nations, are driving the adoption of various technologies, especially in paper and plastic packaging.
• According to OESIA Grupo, in March 2024, Spain boasted a robust online shopping landscape, with 83.1% of its internet users engaging in e-commerce. Impressively, 40% of these users make online purchases every month. Online buyers in Spain, typically aged between 35 and 54, favor higher education and income levels.
• Notably, there is a rising participation trend from diverse demographic segments, underlining the increasing inclusivity of online shopping. While regional differences are minimal, urban centers, especially those with populations exceeding 100,000, show a higher online purchase propensity than their smaller-town counterparts. Such trends are driving the market for flexible packaging products, such as pouches, in the country.
• Furthermore, the country is focused on reducing plastic waste. Spain curbs plastic use in packaging with various laws and policies. For instance, in April 2022, the Official Gazette of Spain published Law 7/2022 of April 8 concerning waste and contaminated land for a circular economy. This law introduced a levy on non-reusable plastic packaging (or Plastic Packaging Tax), an indirect tax on using non-reusable packaging containing plastic, whether empty or protecting, handling, distributing, containing, and delivering goods.
