With a strong consumer need for long-lasting product shelf life and healthier foods without preservatives, aseptic packaging has a big job that’s getting smaller.
Aseptic packaging is growing by leaps and bounds – and it’s no wonder. Aseptic packaging is made to be convenient – it is portable and lightweight, which is a big consumer draw. Designed to protect foods from harmful bacteria that can grow without refrigeration, there is no need for preservatives – another plus for the health-conscious shopper.
A recent Research and Markets (researchandmarkets.com) report shows that aseptic packaging will see major growth due to a preference for convenient packaging. By 2022, the category will see growth from $39.62 billion (2017) to $66.45 billion – at a CAGR of 10.89% through 2022.
