Confectionery Flexible Packaging Market Set to Cross US$ 7.9 Billion by 2030, Surging Demand for On-the-Go Snacking Drives Growth

The confectionery flexible packaging market for sweets is poised to reach $5.9 billion in 2022. With a 3.2% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in demand, the market is expected to reach $7.6 billion by 2030.

The expansion of the confectionery flexible packaging market can be attributed to improved food processing techniques and the increasing consumer demand for snacks and nibbles, particularly in regions such as Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. Customers are being enticed by enhanced product selections, a wider range of offerings, and attractive packaging options.

The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the importance of food and snack delivery, especially for individuals confined to their homes. E-commerce platforms have played a significant role in facilitating snack delivery. The entry of major food and grocery delivery companies in 2020-2021 has led to a substantial surge in the demand for confectionery products. As long as this trend continues, the need for flexible packaging for confectionery is expected to grow in the coming years.
