Market Evolution: From Early Trials to Full-Scale Adoption

Between 2020 and 2024, the market grew from USD 4.9 billion to USD 6.3 billion, driven primarily by early adopters seeking flexibility, durability, and reliable shelf-life protection. Brands tested multi-layer structures, enhanced barrier films, and design-forward formats to meet evolving consumer expectations.

By 2025, the market entered a scaling phase as manufacturers standardized procurement processes, automated packaging lines, and expanded installations for savory snacks, bakery items, nuts, cereals, and healthy snack categories.

From 2025 to 2030, the industry is projected to grow from USD 6.7 billion to USD 9.1 billion, supported by rising consumption of portion-controlled snacks and the adoption of resealable and lightweight packaging across modern retail and e-commerce channels.

Between 2030 and 2035, consolidation becomes the defining market trend. Established suppliers-led by Amcor (post-Berry combination), Huhtamaki, Mondi, Sonoco, Berry Global, and Sealed Air-are expected to strengthen dominance as smaller players adopt proven models, form strategic partnerships, or merge to remain competitive.

Consumer Convenience & Portion Control

Modern consumers crave value-driven packaging formats that offer multiple servings without compromising freshness. Resealable zippers, tear notches, and stand-up pouches make multi-serving snack bags the preferred format in busy households, workplaces, and travel scenarios.
