The global packaged food market is expected to reach about $3 billion, growing at a CAGR of around 5% during the forecast period.

This has increased demand for packaging solutions and products.

Pouches made from these materials have higher performance than other packaging products as specialized coatings and laminated structures along with resins are used to develop this form of packaging. Some of the high-barrier plastics used in the development of pouches include biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET) and ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), which are products that are gaining popularity among the consumers globally. Moreover, these high-barrier plastics are considered to be premium packaging, and they are increasingly being used by food and beverage companies.
