US pouch demand to reach $9.4 billion in 2018
Demand for pouches in the US is forecast to reach $9.4 billion in 2018, fueled by above average gains for stand-up pouches stemming from sustainability, function, and marketing advantages over alternative packaging media. Advances for stand-up pouches will be well above those of most other packaging types, resulting from growing interest among packaged goods companies. This interest is based on savings achieved in shipping costs due to the lighter weight and lower material use of stand-up pouches compared to rigid containers. Also supporting gains will be the ability of stand-up pouches to differentiate products on store shelves due to their use of high quality graphics. In addition, heightened use of reclosing and dispensing components will increase the competitiveness of pouches against rigid containers.
