The food and beverage packaging industry is witnessing a massive transformation as consumer preferences are gradually changing, owing to the increasing awareness for longer shelf life and ready-to-eat products rises. Increased urbanization, along with the growth of the packaging industry, has led to an increase in demand for aseptic packaging, majorly in the emerging economies.
The dairy industry is the biggest user of aseptic packaging, with the demand majorly coming from Asia-Pacific and South America. Dairy products are prone to spoilage and possess low shelf life; therefore, a highly aseptic environment is required to increase the quality of the products. The thriving of the beverage industry in the developing countries is also resulting in demand for aseptic packaging in the market. Major technological advances in aseptic packaging have been able to give consumers a choice in food and beverage packaging. They have now become aware of sustainability challenges and are more aware of how to reflect upon them. Awareness related to plastic waste and the circular economy is increasing rapidly, thereby focusing more on and recycling.
Key companies in the global aseptic food and beverage packaging are also working continuously to improve their production capacities. Increased demand for aseptic packaging in the food and beverage industry has forced the companies to expand their production facilities across developing economies. This report covers the aseptic food and beverage market in depth. It includes a thorough analysis of various product types such as cartons, sachets, bottles, and cans. It also includes an analysis of different application areas of aseptic packaging used in the food and beverage industry. The research is based on extensive primary interviews (industry leaders and market players) and secondary research (a host of paid and unpaid databases), along with various analytical tools that have been used to build the forecast and predictive models.
The food packaging industry is witnessing tremendous growth due to the spread of COVID-19. Due to the lockdown situation across countries, customers moved to online shopping as well as panic stocking, which resulted in increased demand for essential food products such as baby food, milk, liquid dairy products, and vegetables. Due to this pandemic, several packaging companies faced problems to meet consumer demands and are witnessing empty shelves as a result.
In the coming years, to maintain the demand and supply during these types of pandemics, companies are working on sustainable aseptic packaging development, which would meet the consumers' demand and prevent from contamination of viruses any further. The extent of disruption of the supply chain for food and beverage products has not been much impacted due to the pandemic in the residential sector. Instead, the demand for packaged food and beverage products has increased over the period of home quarantine and lockdown across countries. This is due to the fact that consumers have increased their number of meals consumed daily. However, this is not true in the case of commercial consumption. With commercial establishments, such as offices and many exclusive food outlets, being shut due to government orders across countries, the demand for packaged and processed food has gone down.

Anxiety around virus avoidance and other pollutants is increasing demand for healthier and more quality products. Specific categories and types of packaging are benefitting from a broader perspective due to the COVID-19 situation. Using UHT (Ultra-High Temperature) products is one of them. Furthermore, research is ongoing into antibacterial and antiviral polymers and biopolymers for packaging materials that are enhanced with active drug elements and are efficient and exhibit low toxicity. The demand for these materials in daily consumer goods will rise significantly post COVID-19, as consumers are likely to retain concerns and practices followed during this challenging time.
