The availability of the product in various designs, coupled with ease of use, is expected to drive market growth in the alcoholic beverage segment. Growth in the urban population, and easy access to alcoholic beverages by the younger population are likely to raise the demand for bag-in-box containers in this segment. In addition, manufacturers are launching new products which are expected to drive the growth of the bag-in-box container in this segment.

The growing food & beverage market in the Asia Pacific is expected to have a positive impact on the bag-in-box container industry growth during the forecast period. Increasing industrialization in countries such as India and China, coupled with the growing adoption of packed food and beverage products in the region, is anticipated to fuel the market demand over the forecast period. The household products segment emerged as the fastest-growing segment owing to the introduction of eco-cleaning household products. In addition, advancements in technology such as automatic dishwashing products, are projected to drive the market growth of bag-in-box containers.

The industry players are adopting several strategies including collaborations, expansions, mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, and partnership agreements to increase the customer base and individual market share. For instance, in December 2022, Amcor plc announced an expansion in its production capacity by launching a new manufacturing plant in China.
