Aluminum Bag Market

Aluminum Bags Market Driven By High Barrier Properties Of Aluminum Towards Oxygen And Moisture

Aluminum bags have been gaining increasing demand across industries like food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, personal care and cosmetics for their properties like high barrier, lightweight and recyclability. Aluminum as a material provides excellent barrier against oxygen transmission and prevents moisture from entering packaged products. This helps in increasing the shelf-life of products packed in aluminum bags. Some key applications of aluminum bags include packaging of coffee, soups, sauces, snacks and medicines. Their high formability allows production of aluminum bags in various shapes and designs as per packaging needs.

The global Aluminum Bag Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 9.83 billion in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13%  over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends

One of the major trends in the aluminum bag market is the increasing production and usage of ultra-thin aluminum bags for packaging. Manufacturers are focused on developing aluminum bags with thicknesses less than 10 microns while not compromising on barrier properties. This makes aluminum bags more lightweight and affordable. Another notable trend is the rising demand for aluminum-laminated stand-up pouches for coffee and pet food packaging. laminating aluminum foil with polymers extends the shelf-life of products and also offers excellent barrier along with good printability and puncture resistance. Sustainable packaging is also a big driver as aluminum is infinitely recyclable without loss of quality.
