Почему упаковочные пакеты для жидкости вытесняют жёсткую тару

The global liquid packaging bag market was worth $10.77 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $18.04 billion by 2033, driven by food and beverage consumption upgrading, the shift from rigid to flexible formats, e-commerce delivery demand, and tightening sustainability rules.

Why Flexible Packaging Is Replacing Glass and Plastic Bottles

Liquid packaging bags are lighter and use less material than rigid glass or plastic bottles, which lowers freight costs while still protecting the product and keeping it convenient to use. Industry statistics show stand-up pouches already hold more than 30% of the condiment and household care refill market in North America and parts of Asia, and the global stand-up pouch market was valued at approximately $12.8 billion in 2025 and is projected to keep expanding at a 7.7% CAGR through 2033.
