Spout Pouch Market was valued at USD 2,785.8 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% over 2024-2030. A spout pouch is a type of flexible and adaptable packaging that’s customizable, versatile, and used to wrap fluid and non-liquid substances. The rising organized and e-retail penetration, as well as growing demand in the food & and beverage and pharmaceutical sectors, is expected to drive the market worldwide. The versatility and option for customizable packaging depending on the product are currently becoming popular in the market. Moreover, the spout pouches allow for the near-total evacuation of the product decreasing the waste of the product and increasing the opportunities for adoption of this method by several industries.

According to research, rigid containers can leave 6% – 14% of the product in packaging, while pouches can evacuate up to 99.5% of the product, increasing the market demand. Furthermore, spout pouch packaging reduces expenditure, transportation cost, greenhouse gas emission, carbon footprint materials going into landfills, and various other benefits to manufacturers leading to market growth. For instance, according to a recent LCA study by PTIS, choosing spouted pouches instead of rigid PET bottles results in up to 83% less greenhouse gas emissions, 72% less plastic waste, and 65% less landfill waste. However, the stringent government policies on flexible plastic packaging owing to the harm imposed on the environment and as it requires decades to decompose. However, the aspect of sustainability, more accessibility and mess-free as compared to plastic containers and glass bottles along with developed technology, developed infrastructure, and increased disposable income among consumers is heightening the growth of the market.

Spout Pouch Market Key Development:

• In May 2022, Georg Menshen GmbH & Co. KG launched Menshen-LoTUS a cutting-edge Weldspout that is compatible with pouch packaging made of mono-material and so satisfies the regulatory criteria for sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging and production. This weld spout's distinctive design and construction offer outstanding sealing performance and a previously unattained aesthetically pleasing weld between the weld spout and the pouch.
