Asia Pacific market for sachet packaging is further estimated to witness a positive growth rate during the estimated time frame.
A new forecast by Future Market Insights predicts that sachet packaging sales are projected to create an absolute dollar opportunity of USD 4.4 billion from 2023 to 2033. Rising consumption of packaged food has surged the demand for sachets packaging across the Asia Pacific.
Improper plastic waste management across the Asia Pacific is one of the crucial factors that can cause severe groundwater and soil pollution. Government bodies, including authorities in developing countries such as China and India, have taken numerous initiatives and implemented stringent rules & regulations for plastic waste management. Recycling plastic is considered to be the next technically feasible option to tackle issues resulting from the rapidly surging volume of plastic waste.
Burgeoning demand for mustard, mayonnaise, chutney, vinegar and tomato sauces in small-sized packaging formats would augment sachet packaging sales. This type of packaging would offer businesses the convenience of storage, savings in packaging, and an ideal option for branding.
Sachet packaging solutions need a minimum of packaging material, as well as take up less space for transportation and storage. There is less food wastage by consumers as portion sizes are carefully worked out. Sugar sachets, for instance, can be worked out to be one spoonful for beverages such as tea and coffee.

Asia Pacific sachet packaging market witnessed a CAGR of 8.0% during the historical period between 2014 and 2022, finds Future Market Insights. Due to the widespread production of plastic packaging materials throughout the Asia Pacific, these products have become an essential component of daily life. Approximately 70% of all plastic products are thought to quickly degrade into plastic garbage.
By creating and producing plastic sachets produced from recycled plastic, well-known package manufacturers such as Berry Global Group, Inc. are expanding their sustainable packaging product lines. Asia Pacific end-use sectors have started to favor recyclable and recycled plastic packaging materials, particularly in China, Japan, and India.
The main reason for this is that people are becoming immensely aware of the importance of managing plastic garbage properly. All of these elements are anticipated to present rewarding prospects for well-known packaging makers to design and produce rigid and flexible packaging solutions that are highly recyclable.
Increasing Use of Sauces and Condiments in China and India to Push Sales of Liquid Sachet Packaging
Emerging markets such as India and China, are projected to dominate the Asia-Pacific sachet packaging market. More than half of the population in Asia Pacific is young. The price-sensitive middle class is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the region’s overall population. The middle-class population is less likely to afford large family-sized packs, and hence sachets are considered to be the most suitable choice for them. In Asia Pacific, the personal care and pharmaceutical industries are projected to account for a significant share of the sachet packaging market.
In the pharmaceutical industry, sachets are extensively used for packaging unit-dosage of powders, powder/blends, granules, and micro-tablets for medical products, pharmaceutical products, and other food supplements. Although these two industries are expected to account for a significant share of the market, sachet penetration in the food industry is likely to skyrocket in Asia Pacific.
This can be attributed to the use of sachets in numerous daily-use food products such as sauces, sugar, and high-use tea. Shampoos, face pack gels, and hair oils are extensively used in India, China, and similar other countries in the Asia Pacific. The future growth outlook for sachets packaging in Asia Pacific is estimated to bolster at a fast pace during the forecast period.

Liquid Sachet Packaging Made of Plastic to Gain Traction in Asia Pacific by 2033
Due to producers' high acceptance of plastic, it is a widely used form of material for sachet packing despite intolerance for its use. Polyethylene terephthalate is frequently used to create strength because it serves as a defense against outside dangers.
Since the layer is printable, it also plays a significant role in brand advertising and promotion, making it one of the manufacturers of sachets' top material choices. In comparison to other plastic materials, polyethylene is said to be the most popular choice for sachets due to its lightweight and high tensile strength. The target segment is expected to expand 2.2 times the current market value during the forecast period.
