What are the key drivers behind the rapid expansion of the high barrier type retort pouch market?
The growing consumer demand for quick, ready-to-eat food products is expected to propel the growth of the high barrier type retort pouch market going forward. Quick, ready-to-eat (RTE) food products are pre-cooked, packaged foods that require minimal or no preparation before consumption. The rise in demand for quick, ready-to-eat food products is driven by busy lifestyles, convenience, urbanization, higher incomes, and on-the-go consumption. A high-barrier retort pouch extends the shelf life of quick, ready-to-eat food products by providing superior protection against moisture, oxygen, and contaminants while maintaining food quality. For instance, in October 2022, according to Archer Daniels Midland, a US-based food processing company, rising inflation boosted ready-to-eat meal sales, projected to grow 21% from 2022 to 2027, reaching $19.9 billion. Therefore, the growing consumer demand for quick, ready-to-eat food products is driving the growth of the high barrier type retort pouch market.
