The plastic packaging segment held a 45.9% share in 2025 owing to its extensive use in bottles, tubs, pouches, and other flexible packaging formats. Materials like polyethylene and polypropylene are widely preferred for their lightweight handling, durability, and excellent resistance to moisture, ensuring protection of sensitive baby products during storage and transport. Plastic also supports high-barrier laminates, resealable closures, and tamper-evident designs, which enhance product safety and consumer convenience.
The pouches segment reached USD 3.9 billion in 2025, as squeezable packs and flexible packaging formats become increasingly popular for baby food. Pouches offer lightweight handling, precise portion control, and ease of feeding, making them a preferred choice for purees, semi-liquid products, and snacks. Their high-barrier protection maintains freshness and nutritional quality, while resealable designs and compact packaging support portability and reduce material use.
