The global aseptic carton packaging market size was estimated at USD 23.98 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2024 to 2030. Booming dairy and non-alcoholic beverage industry is driving the demand for the aseptic carton packaging across the globe. Additionally, increasing consumer preference for convenience is positively influencing the growth of the market.
The aseptic carton packaging market is driven by several key factors, including the increasing demand for extended shelf-life products, particularly in the food and beverage industry. Aseptic packaging involves sterilizing both the carton and the contents separately before sealing them in a sterile environment. This process eliminates the need for preservatives and refrigeration, which is highly beneficial for products such as dairy, juices, and non-alcoholic beverages. For example, milk and juice products can be stored for months without refrigeration, which appeals to consumers in both developed and developing markets where consistent refrigeration might not be available.
Another major driver is the rising consumer preference for convenience and on-the-go products. As lifestyles become more fast-paced, consumers are increasingly seeking easy-to-use, portable packaging solutions. Aseptic cartons, being lightweight, easy to transport, and offering resealability, meet these consumer demands. This trend is particularly noticeable in the growth of ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages and plant-based drinks, where aseptic packaging ensures product safety and longevity. Providing product safety without altering taste or nutritional content enhances its appeal among health-conscious consumers.
Moreover, sustainability is a significant driving factor in the aseptic carton packaging market. Aseptic cartons are primarily made from renewable resources, such as paperboard, and they have a lower environmental impact compared to plastic or glass packaging. The increasing consumer demand for environmentally friendly packaging has pushed companies to adopt aseptic cartons as a sustainable solution. For instance, in May 2023, Tetra Pak International S.A. and Lactogal Produtos Alimentares S.A. launched a new sustainable aseptic carton for milk, significantly reducing its carbon footprint by one-third and increasing the renewable content to 90%.
