Aseptic packaging is the process of filling sterile products in sterile packages or containers in a completely aseptic (sterile) environment. This type of packaging is used for dairy products, fruit juices, soups & broths, and others in order to protect them from microbial and other contamination.

It is a modernized packaging system adopted by manufacturers in order to expand their products' shelf-life and serve customers with fresh food and beverages. Such packaging solutions in the aseptic packaging market also enable manufacturers to commercialize a range of products that cannot be served through conventional packaging. Thus, it helps them enhance their product portfolio.

In the pharmaceutical industry, aseptic packaging has always played a significant role. Drugs are one of the most sensitive products, perishable in nature, and with a critical degree of susceptibility to microorganisms. Hence, drugs are served in aseptically packed vials & ampoules or other injectables, which increase their shelf-life and decrease their chances of being exposed to the environment.

The market for aseptic packaging is gaining significance with developments in the pharmaceutical and food & beverage industries. In the food industry, the high demand for convenience food is the major driver for the growth of the industry. Beverages are considered a matured market, although it shows promising growth.

This growth is fueled by the consumer shift from carbonated soft drinks to healthier drinks such as dairy beverages, energy & sports drinks, and fresh fruit juices. The global beverage industry is very large, hence, beverages accounts for the largest share in the global aseptic packaging market, followed by the pharmaceutical industry. The developments taking place in pharmaceutical industry such as increased use of pre-filled syringes is making space for pharmaceutical packaging based on aseptic technology.
