U.S. Food Packaging Market Growth Factors:

The U.S. food packaging market is projected to increase greatly, driven by rise in demand for convenience foods. Convenience stores sold $860 billion in foodservice during 2023. Prepared food, commissary and beverages accounted for 26.9% of total sales. Manufacturers focus on resealable pouches, single-serve containers, and microwaveable packaging upon food. This packaging fits consumer demand because it is convenient and fresh. Consumers seek packaging that keeps up with their increasingly mobile lifestyles. This also augurs well for the market growth.

Technologies such as MAP and vacuum packaging slow down the rate of deterioration and spoilage by controlling the levels of gases like oxygen and moisture in packaged products, further contributing to market growth. The MAP market throughout the Americas is estimated to reach USD 7.79 billion by 2026. Innovations such as temperature sensors and freshness indicators inform in real time about the food's conditions during the transportation and storage steps. Investing money in research and development allows for smart, durable and low-cost packaging.

E-commerce growth and online food delivery growth has increased specialized food packaging demand such as takeout containers. The online food delivery market in the United States is expected to grow at a rate of 9.8% CAGR by 2032 and reach $68.6 billion. Thus, it needs to be leak-proof, strong, insulated, and in a form that is easy for the consumer to handle during home delivery. Packaging is being developed for branding purposes in addition to functional requirements. Increasing environmental concerns have also led to a growing demand for sustainable packaging such as biodegradable, compostable, recyclable and bio-based plastics supported by stricter legislations and regulations in the US.
