Spouted pouches are versatile flexible packaging solutions that feature a spout attached to the packaging, enabling easy pouring and dispensing of contents. They are highly utilized for liquids, powders, and semi-liquid products due to their convenience and adaptability.
The key components of spouted pouches include the cap, strap, and film. Cap-spouted pouches are a type of flexible packaging that combines the convenience of a spout with the resealability of a cap. They can be constructed from various materials such as plastic, aluminum, and paper, and come in different sizes including less than 200 mL, 200 mL to 500 mL, 500 mL to 1000 mL, and over 1000 mL. These pouches are suitable for a variety of filling processes such as standard, aseptic, retort, and hot-filled, and find applications across diverse industries including food and beverage, personal care, automotive, pharmaceutical, among others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting strain on trade relations in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the Paper, Plastics, Rubber, Wood, and Textile sector by driving up the costs of essential imported inputs such as pulp, resin, synthetic rubber, lumber, and cotton, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. Packaging manufacturers, for instance, are facing higher prices for plastic films and corrugated materials, further squeezing margins in an already highly price-sensitive environment. Similarly, textile producers are grappling with increased costs for imported yarns and dyes, adding to the burden of rising labor expenses. In response, some companies are turning to recycled or biodegradable materials, while others are consolidating their supplier base to secure bulk discounts.

The spouted pouches market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.44 billion in 2024 to $3.75 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%.
The spouted pouches market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.25 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for convenient and sustainable packaging, convenience, and portability, rising penetration of the organized e-retail sector across the world, and increasing demand for spouted pouches in the food and beverage industries. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, innovative packaging formats, innovation in spout design, innovative packaging technologies, and collaborations and partnerships.
The forecast of 8.8% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.8% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through higher import costs on pre-made pouches and fitment assemblies from Southeast Asia, potentially increasing packaging costs for beverage, baby food, and household liquid products. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rising demand for on-the-go food and beverage products is expected to drive the growth of the spouted pouch market in the coming years. On-the-go food and beverage products are convenient items designed for consumption outside of traditional dining settings, catering to busy lifestyles, convenience preferences, and urbanization trends. Spouted pouches are well-suited for these products due to their portable and resealable design, allowing consumers to easily carry, pour, and consume without spills, making them particularly suitable for urban environments and fast-paced lifestyles. For example, in October 2023, the Government of Canada reported that exports of processed food and beverages reached a record $54.3 billion in 2022, marking a 14.1% increase from the previous year. This underscores the growing demand for on-the-go food and beverage products, which is driving the expansion of the spouted pouch market.
Major companies in the spouted pouches market are increasingly focused on developing innovative packaging technologies to minimize environmental impact and enhance recyclability. These pouches integrate advanced features, materials, or designs aimed at improving functionality, sustainability, convenience, and attractiveness across various industries. For example, in February 2024, Amcor plc, an Australian packaging company, collaborated with Stonyfield Organic, a US-based dairy products producer, to introduce the first-ever all-polyethylene (PE) spouted pouch. This pioneering packaging solution utilizes Amcor's AmPrima Plus, an all-PE film optimized for recyclability, along with the Vizi cap from Cheer Pack North America. The new pouch replaces Stonyfield Organic's previous multilayered packaging with an environmentally friendly design for its YoBaby refrigerated yogurt. This advancement offers enhanced recyclability, reduced plastic usage, and improved production compatibility, representing a significant stride toward a more sustainable future in packaging.
In June 2022, SIG Group AG, a Switzerland-based packaging corporation, completed the acquisition of Scholle IPN Corporation, a US-based producer of equipment and packaging materials for pouches and bag-in-box systems. The acquisition, valued at an undisclosed amount, is part of SIG's strategy to enhance its leadership in sustainable packaging. By integrating Scholle IPN's capabilities, SIG aims to broaden its eco-friendly product portfolio and effectively address growing consumer and regulatory demands for sustainable packaging solutions.
