The global bag-in-box container market size is expected to reach USD 4.80 billion by 2025 due to the increasing demand by various industries like food and beverages. Bag-in-Box Containers are the containers that are used for the storage and transportation of different liquids. They are made up of three elements; a bag made of numerous layers of metalized film that excellently prevents light and oxygen, a box made of rigid cardboard, solid board or micro-flute based on volume and weight, and easy to use tap or dispenser that offers a stronger barrier to oxygen. Furthermore, the growing demand from sectors like household products, industrial liquid products are expected to contribute considerably to the Bag-in-Box Container market in the years to come.
Bag-in-Box Containers offer cost-effectiveness at levels like packaging price and lower transport cost. They are also compatible with production automation and offer volume efficiency for storing in the retail stores and for transport. They are strong containers, which are comparatively light in weight and cater to transportation needs for all types of products. The containers completely prevent oxygen and light from entering (for example; a wine bottle to be opened after 6 weeks).
The growing demand from consumers for sterilized and convenient packaging and the need to reduce packaging costs for manufacturers are major factors for the rising adoption of Bag-in-Box Container among industries. Bag-in-Box Container offers enhanced hygiene and safety characteristics in addition to improved packaging convenience, storage and transportation, and less utilization of space.
However, the rising demand for Bag-in-Box Container for wine packaging is predicted to overcome the restrictions of the Bag-in-Box Container market. Apart from the emergence of alternative products, the additional equipment costs related to bag-in-box container packaging are likely to hamper the Bag-in-Box Container market especially in the developing economies of the Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa.
