Stand-up Pouches Market by Type (Aseptic, Standard & Retort), Form (Round Bottom, K-Style, Plow Bottom, Flat Bottom & Others), Application (Food & Beverages and Non-Food) & Region - Trends and Forecast to 2020


Published by MarketsandMarkets


Stand-up pouches have attracted a number of customers that have led to their wide adoption by

end-users worldwide for different applications. Producers can very easily customize the shape, size and provide the buyer with additional features, as per the product requirements. Stand-up pouches consume less store capacity and have ability to stand up on shelves, thus adding up to the product's visibility. These features help suppliers to opt for stand-up pouch products. The stand-up pouches are designed with excellent barrier properties, and are available with attached accessories like nozzles and zip lock,

which is useful for end-users with re-sealable property. Stand-up pouches market is estimated to reach a market value of USD 33.4 billion by 2020. This packaging is widely used in the food, beverages, healthcare, personal & homecare, non-food and other sectors such as fertilizers, paints, and coatings. These pouches are made up of highly sterilized materials, which enable the products inside the pouches to remain fresh without getting contaminated for a longer period. Due to these factors, stand-up pouches are widely used in food and beverage packaging, which accounted for a large share of the stand-up pouches market.

Market leaders in the industry have a diversified packaging solutions portfolio, capital available for

extensive research & development, and the financial strength to sustain them. Since the production of stand-up pouches requires a large space and expensive equipment, new entrants find it hard to compete against established players. New product launches and expansions are the key strategies adopted by market players to expand their business in the stand-up pouches industry. The key players in the market are Amcor Limited (Australia), The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.), Sappi

World Plastic Pipe


Published by Freedonia Group


The world pipe market is projected to expand 5.0 percent per year to about 31 billion meters in 2015, a deceleration relative to the 2005-2010 period. This slowdown can be almost entirely attributed to China, the world's largest pipe consumer. After growing rapidly from 2000 to 2010, Chinese pipe demand is expected to rise at the average worldwide rate through 2015. As growth in China's massive market slows, global pipe sales will rise at a more restrained pace. However, the Africa/Mideast region, Eastern Europe,

North America, Western Europe and the rest of the Asia/Pacific region will see larger gains between 2010 and 2015 than during the previous five-year period.
