72. Future of Flexible Packaging
• According to MarketsandMarkets, the global flexible packaging industry is forecast to grow
at an annual average rate of 4.5% over the next five years, achieving $200.5 billion by 2025.
• Concern for the environment is emerging as a top consumer priority, putting a spotlight on
plastic-based, flexible packaging. One challenge is meeting the needs of today’s waste
infrastructure.
• Compostable packaging has found its way into many food and beverage markets. As a viable
alternative to non-recyclable plastic flexible packaging, compostable laminates offer a form
of bio-recycling for the consumer avoiding the landfill and incineration disposal routes.
• Pouch format will expand across traditional flexible packaging applications as well as break
into more e-commerce use, with categories from pet to baby food embracing the benefits.
• Flexible packaging opens options to generate data and deliver more effective marketing
campaigns when integrating improved technology

73. Conclusion
• The future looks bright for the flexible packaging sector.
• From new eco-friendly substrates to disposal options, new
opening and closure solutions to the integration of new
technology, flexible packaging is a win for brands, converters
and consumers alike.
