The Asia-Pacific liquid packaging market size was valued at USD 209.30 billion in 2022 and is estimated to reach around USD 332.88 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.80% from 2023 to 2032.
In terms of region, the Asia Pacific exhibits the highest demand for liquid packaging and accounted for around 44% value share in the year 2022. This is primarily because of the favorable government policies for manufacturers, expansion in pharmaceutical and food & beverage sectors, and the shifting of the production facilities in the region due to low operating and labor costs.
Besides this, North America expected to grow at a moderate rate over the forecast period. The U.S. is considered as the leading contributor towards the growth of the region because of prominent demand for liquid packaging along with rising implementation of paper products over other harmful materials in the region expected to propel the demand for liquid packaging in North America in the coming years.
Glass, paper & paper boards, metals (tinplate, foils & laminates, aluminum, & tin-free steel), and plastics are the materials that have traditionally been uses in the food packaging. Further, emergence of aluminum films for packaging application expected to upend the food packaging industry and further propels the growth of liquid packaging market over the upcoming years. In addition, rising trend towards freshness and quality of the food in the duration of storage and distribution expected to impel the market growth for liquid packaging.
Furthermore, increasing application of plastics for beverage packaging because of its low cost compared to other materials such as glass and tin-plates likely to prosper the growth of the market. Plastics offer some functional advantages over other packaging materials that include microwavability, thermo-sealability, unlimited sizes & shapes, and optical properties is the other prime factors that boosts the growth of the liquid packaging. Use of plastic material separates the contact of product from environment that protects it from moisture and bacteria, thereby increasing its shelf life.
In addition, large number of people shifting towards urban areas expected to propel the growth of liquid packaging in for supporting transportation of liquid products over long distance along with increasing their shelf life. Attraction towards lifestyle coupled with greater opportunity for income in the urban areas draws large number of population towards cities.

In terms of value, rigid packaging emerged as a dominant segment, accounting for the major market share of over 85.5% in 2020. Rigid packaging is extensively used to manufacture the packaging solutions for pharmaceutical drugs and beverages. This is mainly because of the exceptional properties of rigid packaging over other packaging type that includes excellent shelf-life and ease of transport & carrying.
On the other side, increasing application of flexible packaging materials owing to light weight, low transportation cost, and flexibility in the size & shape of the package anticipated to boost the growth of flexible packaging solutions over the upcoming years.
In terms of raw material, plastics led the global liquid packaging market and accounted for more than half of the value share in the year 2022. Plastics are the most preferred material in the manufacturing of packaging solutions for different end-use verticals such as pharmaceutical, food & beverage, household care, and personal care.
However, paper segment likely to exhibit significant growth over the coming years owing to its excellent properties that include better environmental protection and high recyclability. A further, stringent government norm on restricting the usage of non-degradable plastics is the other major factors that impel the demand for paper materials. Suppliers of paper packaging solutions such as paperboard containers and boxes have increased their production capacities in response to meet the dynamic market conditions.
In terms of region, the Asia Pacific exhibits the highest demand for liquid packaging and accounted for around 44% value share in the year 2022. This is primarily because of the favorable government policies for manufacturers, expansion in pharmaceutical and food & beverage sectors, and the shifting of the production facilities in the region due to low operating and labor costs.
