ABSTRACT-

Global Flexible Packaging Market to Reach US$261.1 Billion by the Year 2026
Flexible packaging is a type of packaging that involves packaging containers made using flexible materials that alter shape with the filled-in products. Flexible packaging is emerging as one of the high growth segments in the overall packaging industry. Across several applications, flexible packaging is gaining preference over traditional rigid packaging, given inherent advantages in their usage including low raw material use, lower costs of shipping final products, and low storage space. Brand owners are increasingly showing preference for flexible packaging driven by convenience benefits, growing consumer appeal, and ability to differentiate their offerings from competition. Growth in the global market is largely driven by the expansion of processed food sector. The changing consumer preferences and growing demand for fast food and convenience foods are propelling demand for lightweight packaging, thus boosting market prospects. Growing population, increasing incomes and changing eating habits along with growing consumption of various other products in emerging markets are significant opportunities that lie ahead for flexible packaging. Another key trend in the global market for flexible packaging in the coming years would be increasing popularity of innovative packaging shapes. Significant improvements are seen in flexographic printing abilities, which enable production of more detailed and colorful packaging for products. Shape innovations would also increase in number as brands demand innovative shapes to make their products more attractive.
