Market Highlights

The Global Liquid Packaging Market is estimated to register a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 566.5 Billion by 2035.

The rising demand for packaged beverages is one of the key drivers propelling the growth of the global liquid packaging market. With increasing urbanization, changing consumer lifestyles, and a growing preference for on-the-go consumption, the demand for packaged beverages, Including bottled water, dairy products, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages—has surged significantly. This trend is further fuelled by the rising health-consciousness among consumers, leading to an increased demand for functional and fortified drinks such as plant-based milk, juices, and energy drinks. Similarly, the need for advanced liquid packaging solutions that ensure product safety, extended shelf life, and convenience is growing rapidly. For instance, in January 2022, SIG launched one of the world’s first aluminium-free full-barrier packaging materials, Signature Evo, for aseptic carton packs. This is available for plain white milk and for other oxygen-sensitive products such as nectars, flavoured milk, fruit juices, and plant-based beverages.

In Addition, the expansion of the e-commerce sector has boosted the demand for durable and leak-proof packaging, further driving innovation in the liquid packaging industry. According to the US Census Bureau, in 2024, US E-commerce sales accounted for 16.1 percent of total sales in comparison to 15.3 percent in 2023. Moreover, manufacturers are increasingly adopting sustainable and eco-friendly packaging materials, such as recyclable plastics, biodegradable cartons, and lightweight glass, to align with stringent environmental regulations and consumer preferences for sustainable packaging. For instance, in May 2024, Zotefoams announced that it has developed mono-material barrier beverage carton which uses half the energy and water required for a traditional liquid packaging board carton and lower the global warming potential by 55%. As beverage consumption continues to rise globally, the liquid packaging market is expected to witness sustained growth, with manufacturers focusing on innovation, sustainability, and cost-effective solutions to meet evolving market demands.

Segment Analysis

The Global Liquid Packaging Market has been segmented based on By Packaging Type, By Material Type, By End-Use.

Based on packaging type, we have covered the following segments: Flexible Liquid Packaging, and Rigid Liquid Packaging. Further Rigid Liquid Packaging include Cartons, Paperboard, Plastics PET bottles, Others. The Rigid Liquid Packaging segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Flexible Liquid Packaging segment is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period.

Rigid liquid packaging refers to the use of durable, non-flexible containers to hold liquid products. Typically made from materials like glass, plastic, or metal, these containers provide robust protection for liquids, ensuring product integrity during transportation and storage. The rigidity of these containers prevents leaks or contamination, and materials like glass offer superior impermeability, preserving the contents and maintaining their original quality. Rigid liquid packaging is particularly important in industries where product safety and preservation are critical, such as beverages, pharmaceuticals, and food products.The applications of rigid liquid packaging are widespread, with glass bottles commonly used for beverages like alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, as they help preserve flavour and carbonation. Metal cans are frequently used for packaging liquids such as soups, sauces, and juices, thanks to their ability to extend shelf life. Additionally, the pharmaceutical industry relies on rigid containers to protect medicinal liquids and ensure precise dosing. The demand for rigid liquid packaging is driven by several factors, including the need for higher product integrity, extended shelf life, and the growing consumer preference for recyclable materials, as many rigid containers are made from materials like glass that can be reused.

Based on material type, we have covered the following segments: Paperboard, Plastics, Glass, and Metal. The Paperboard segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Paperboard segment is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period.

Paperboard is a thick, paper-based material that is widely used in various applications due to its strength, versatility, and sustainability. Generally thicker than standard paper, paperboard is characterized by its rigidity and foldability, making it ideal for packaging and printing purposes. According to ISO standards, paperboard is defined as paper with a grammage above 250 g/m², though there are exceptions to this classification. Paperboard plays a crucial role in the packaging industry, serving as the primary material for products such as folding cartons, rigid boxes, and corrugated boxes. Its applications extend beyond packaging; it is also used in manufacturing items like book covers, postcards, and even sculptures, owing to its ability to be easily cut and formed. The demand for paperboard packaging is significantly driven by its sustainability and recyclability, aligning with the growing consumer preference for eco-friendly products. Increasing awareness about environmental issues has led consumers and businesses to favour biodegradable and recyclable packaging options, boosting the demand for paperboard.
