- Growth of the Bag Segment
The global pet food packaging market is expected to be valued at USD 19.7 billion dollars by the end of 2028, a significant increase from 2020’s $10 billion value.
Of this diverse market, the bag segment of food packaging is expected to hold a substantial share of this market value. But, why? Why are bags so important in the packaging world? Well, it’s simple. Customers love how easy it is to deal with and handle bags versus other packaging types. From the production standpoint, bags are very low cost. This is the power combination that will make the bag segment soar in the next few years.
- Leading Plastic Segment
Unfortunately, despite all the calls for being more environmentally friendly, the plastic segment of the pet food packaging industry is likely to remain dominant for the foreseeable future.
- Growth of Cat Food Packaging
In terms of animal type, cat food is the segment expected to expand significantly when it comes to the pet food market. The reason for this is that more and more individuals are inclined to purchase or adopt cats all while gearing towards more expensive cat foods.
- North America Heads the Packaging Industry
Regionally, North America is anticipated to lead the pet food packaging market thanks to the robust demand by developed countries like the U.S. and Mexico. The population’s desire to own more pets and purchase higher-quality foods is the reason behind North America’s surge in pet food packing practices.
- Popularity of Form-Fill-Seal
The FFS packaging is one of the most popular because of its high speed, efficiency, and productivity compared to individual machines. The expected growth for this type is nearly 7% over the next 5-6 years.
