Global Flexible Packaging Market is projected to grow at an impressive rate through 2028 due to increasing demand of cosmetic and personal care industries.
Flexible packaging is more sustainable since it requires lesser resources, energy, and water during production and takes up less room in landfills after disposal. The demand for flexible packaging is also anticipated to increase during the projected period as more application sectors choose sustainable packaging solutions due to regulatory restrictions. Due to significant businesses in the application industry, the U.S. is a significant market for flexible packaging.
In France total revenue in the cosmetics segments amount to USD 2.54 billion in 2022.
Promising Demand from The Packaging Industry
. IBEF further notes that the food processing industry, which accounts for 32% of India's total food market and ranks fifth in production, consumption, and exports, is one of the country's most important industries, with 70% of revenues coming from retail.
Low-Cost Substitute for Metal
Due to its lightweight nature and outstanding durability, flexible plastic packaging is in high demand across various industries. Still, it is trendy in the food and beverage, electrical, consumer electronics, and e-commerce sectors. Alternative to metal in flexible packaging is high-performance plastics. These materials, such as PET, nylon, and EVOH, offer excellent barrier properties and can be used in a range of packaging applications. They are also lightweight and cost-effective, making them an attractive option for companies looking to reduce their packaging costs. Flexible plastic packaging replaces rigid packaging (metal packaging), although it offers high-barrier packaging options because of its great flexibility, superior durability, and long shelf life. Plastic and non-plastic rigid packaging, especially metal containers, were prone to leakage, corrosion, and breakage. Demand for flexible plastic packaging will increase as consumers' preferences for practical and light packaging grow. To further aid in replacing conventional rigid packaging, new recyclable, sustainable, and flexible plastic packaging choices will be launched by environmental legislation to meet customer needs.

Growing Technological Advancement for Sustainable Development
PepsiCo announced a long-term objective of using 50% recycled plastic in its bottles throughout the European region by 2030 and an interim goal of around 45% by 2025.
Recent Developments
- In July 2022, the United States, California
passed legislation extending producer responsibility regulations and reducing
plastic pollution. California must recycle 30% of all plastic packaging by
January 2028, 40% by January 2030, and at least 65% by January 2032, according
to the law SB 54. In addition, SB 54 mandates a 25% source reduction of
single-use plastic waste compared to 2023 levels, which means that by 2032, the
industry must have ceased to distribute an amount of plastic equal to 25% of
the amount of plastic packaging that was made available in California during
the 2023 economy.
- In April 2022, Amcor announced the addition
of new, eco-friendly High Shield laminates to its line of pharmaceutical
packaging. The new low-carbon packaging options help pharmaceutical companies
achieve their recyclability objectives while satisfying industry needs for high
barriers and performance. These new High Shield technologies offer options for
sachet, stick, and strip pharmaceutical packaging composed of paper- and
polyolefin-based materials that is more environmentally friendly. The
innovative material structure makes it possible for pharmaceutical companies to
be recyclable in accordance with local expectations, which helps them stand out
from the competition.
