Market Insights

The process of transporting, protecting, and merchandising milk is known as packaging. Condensed milk, fresh milk, skim milk, evaporated milk, and flavored milk is packaged in a broad range of packaging types, such as cans, bottles, pouches, etc. Milk packaging has transformed from conventional methods to new and advanced techniques. Depending on the convenience of consumers, milk packaging is done in several types of specialized containers, such as tetra packs. Earlier, glass bottles were widely used for milk packaging, although currently, only a minor proportion of glass bottles are being utilized in milk packaging. Thermoformed plastic packaging products such as bottles and pouches are being widely used for milk packaging owing to their high stability, resistance to UV rays, and resistance to a broad range of temperatures. Also, cartons prepared from plastic or wax-coated paperboard are most widely used for milk packaging.

A rise in demand for recyclable and sustainable milk packaging materials, as well as fluctuating prices of metal containers, are some major factors driving the market for paperboard milk packaging. Also, the rising demand for flavored milk, coupled with an increasing inclination among consumers towards eco-friendly and lighter packaging solutions, further drives the overall demand for milk packaging. Moreover, owing to increasing concerns regarding the quality and purity of unpackaged milk as well as the increasing number of cattle and livestock farms, especially in developing economies, there are several other aspects driving the demand for milk packaging across the globe. Although increasing investments in research and development activities to introduce innovative and cheaper milk packaging products are projected to furnish lucrative opportunities in the foreseeable future, However, volatile raw material prices and the presence of traditional milk supply practices, especially in underdeveloped regions, are some of the major factors hampering market growth in the near future.

On the basis of packaging type, pouches account for a major share of the global milk packaging market on account of the increasing demand for lightweight and convenient packaging solutions. Moreover, a rise in per capita disposable incomes coupled with increasing penetration of polyethylene pouches due to their low cost are several other factors driving the growth of the pouch segment in the global milk packaging market.

Asia Pacific is identified as the dominant region due to the increasing growth of the livestock industry in the region. Also, rising disposable incomes are further augmenting the demand for milk packaging, especially in India and China. Thus, key players in the packaging industry are aiming to set up their manufacturing units in the Asia-Pacific region due to increasing milk production and rising investments in livestock farming which are further expected to supplement the market growth. North America is projected to account for the second-largest share in the global milk packaging market owing to a rise in demand for flavored milk as well as an increasing inclination of consumers towards modified nutritional milk products.

The global milk packaging market can be categorized on the basis of packaging type as follows:

  • Paperboard Cartons
  • Cans
  • Bottles
  • Pouches
  • Others (barrels, cups, etc.)

The pouches segment dominated the global milk packaging market in 2017 and is estimated to maintain its dominance over the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. This is due to the increasing demand for handy and lightweight milk packaging solutions. Also, the increasing number of environmental regulations against the usage of glass bottles, as well as the rising demand for ergonomic packaging products, are some major aspects driving the growth of the pouch segment in the global milk packaging market. Moreover, low cost is one of the key aspects bolstering demand for pouches. Furthermore, rising pouch usage in developing economies is expected to drive market growth. Also, due to the varying scenarios of environmental awareness, especially in the developed economies of North America and Europe, as well as the execution of strict rules regarding the recyclability of plastic bottles, the demand for the pouch segment is expected to increase in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, rapid transformations in the global packaging industry and rising innovations in pouch designs, such as pouches with plastic caps, are rapidly being utilized, which is also driving the growth of the global milk packaging market. However, rising regulations regarding carbon emissions and increasing concerns related to the disposal of plastic pouches are some major factors anticipated to hamper the market growth.

The global milk packaging market can be categorized on the basis of material as follows:

  • Glass
  • Plastic
  • Metal
  • Paperboard
  • Others (wood, laminations, etc.)

By material, the paperboard segment accounted for the largest share of the global milk packaging market in 2017 and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. This is mainly due to a rapid increase in the demand for recyclable and environmentally friendly milk packaging solutions. Also, increasing metal can prices coupled with the harmful environmental effects of plastic packaging is another major aspect propelling the demand for paperboard material in the global milk packaging market. Moreover, the rising demand for packaged flavored milk, as well as the increasing inclination of consumers towards eco-friendly and lighter packaging materials, further boosts the overall demand for paperboard material in the global milk packaging market. Additionally, round-the-clock working routines, rising income levels, and the improvisation of e-commerce are some other major factors driving the demand for paperboard packaging across the globe. Also, the speedy growth of sustainable packaging for ecological conservation and a focus on the reduction of ecological footprints are estimated to propel market growth. Plastics accounted for the second-largest share in the global milk packaging market due to the ease of availability of raw materials, cheaper manufacturing processes, and increasing demand for lightweight and ergonomic packaging solutions. However, increasing concerns regarding environmental pollution due to plastic disposal are anticipated to hamper the overall demand.

The global milk packaging market can be categorized on the basis of regions and countries as follows:
