Market CAGR for stick packaging is being driven by the increasing demand for food industry. Stick packaging's long-term growth prospects have been boosted by increased online food transactions, which have necessitated the need for flexible, durable, and secure packaging choices. Stick packaging is used for items such as ready-mixed spice mixes, single-serve liquids such as coffee, tea, sugar, milk, drink mixtures, and much more since it keeps the products fresher for a longer period of time. Rising product launches and increased demand for stick packaging across a variety of culinary sectors have fueled market expansion. In addition, Drink Nutrient, a start-up based in the United States, for example, launched a line of nutritional drinks in its native market in October 2019. Stick packs of Liquid Nutrient, Vitamin Booster+, and Vitamin Coffee are available. Similarly, Celsius Holdings, Inc. debuted two new SKU brand flavours in August 2018, both packaged in compact on-the-go powdered sticks.

A number of variables work together to provide optimal product safety in primary and secondary packing when employing the stick-pack option. Most importantly, when a stick-pack is manufactured, filled, and sealed in a controlled temperature, low relative humidity, and regulated residual oxygen environment, the product is safeguarded against contamination. The utilisation of cutting-edge stick-pack equipment ensures fill and seal integrity at high rates, as well as a high degree of fill accuracy per dose. When these precautions are coupled, content can be preserved for up to 24 months.
Furthermore, stick-pack packaging streamlines the formulation process because no compression or more complex formulae are required to bind all constituents. Because stick-packs use up to 40% less material, the decrease in paper and foil usage and waste volume benefits both the economy and the environment. Because stick-packs are thin and small, cartooning and secondary packing are efficient and cost-effective, resulting in significant overall cost savings. As a result of the aforementioned causes, stick packaging demand is expected to expand throughout the forecast period.August 2023: Sustainability remained a key driver in the stick packaging market. Manufacturers announced advancements in bio-based and compostable materials for stick packs, catering to eco-conscious consumers and stricter environmental regulationsSeptember 2023: Innovation in dispensing mechanisms for stick packs gained traction. Companies unveiled new designs for easier opening and controlled product release, enhancing user experience and product appeal

Plastic category has the greatest share of the stick packaging market and is predicted to maintain its dominance between 2022 and 2032. Plastic packaging material made from biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) is expected to outperform other materials. Their increased popularity can be ascribed to their light weight, minimum damage during transit, prevention of moisture accumulation, and environmental friendliness. BOPP films also have a lower electrostatic charge, making them increasingly popular for stick packaging. At the same time, EVOH (ethylene-vinyl alcohol) packaging is gaining popularity. Most packaging requires a barrier layer to defend against oxygen.
