Market Overview
The Global "Spouted Pouch Market" is Expected to reach at a CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period (2024-2031).
A spouted pouch is a flexible packaging that is extremely versatile and easily customized. Spout pouches are now widely utilized for packaging products such as cocktails, petrol station screen wash, baby food, energy drinks and many others. In particular, manufacturers are turning to spout pouches for children's food such as fruit juice and vegetable puree. Further, spouts are wide enough to allow the liquid to be filled and dispensed smoothly but narrow enough to prevent it from spilling during use.
Spout pouches have now seen an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to rigid plastic bottles, plastic tubs and tins. The products are convenient for both the manufacturer and the consumers because of comparatively easier production and are perfect for the consumers' 'on the go' lifestyle.
