Increasing consumer preference for convenient and appealing products, an increase in technological innovations, growing food & beverages consumption and increased demand for plastic-based flexible packaging products are the vital drivers for market growth. One of the major drivers for high demand in the flexible packaging market is the rising preference for aesthetically appealing products. Consumers tend to prefer packaged goods such as cosmetics, toiletries, and food products that are presented in an aesthetically appealing manner. Hence, manufacturers of food and other consumer packaged products spend large sums of money on developing packaging that is not only easy to open and convenient to use but is also visually appealing. For instance, some new pouch packaging such as that produced for baby food comes in a wide variety of colorful packs and shapes.

There have been numerous technological innovations in the market, which has led to an increase in the number of new products being offered by vendors to suit the varied needs of their customers. Manufacturers are looking for packaging solutions with high performance and also are focusing on reducing the manufacturing costs. Packaged food, beverage, and personal care product companies are demanding highly competitive, cost-efficient, and visually appealing packaging solutions. Such demands have compelled vendors to use new technologies to innovate their product offerings. For instance, over the last few years, there has been a shift toward using multilayer packaging solutions rather than simple paper bags. These multilayer packaging solutions are being developed with new materials such as self-venting films, which are used to pack frozen food products, and the food can be steam-cooked within the pack itself.
Highly fragmented market, rising prices of raw materials and the threat of substitution by other forms of packaging are the market restraints that hindering the growth of the market. The highly fragmented nature of the market is proving to be a major challenge for vendors. The presence of several players, both domestic and international, which are competing for increasing their share in the market, has led to the market is highly fragmented. There is also a high degree of fragmentation in each flexible packaging segment, whether it is paper, plastic, glass, or metal. The intensified price competition affects the profitability of vendors as they tend to reduce the prices of their products to survive in this competitive environment, which is a challenge for the overall market.
