development of modern techniques for food safety and commercialization,
efficient packaging has become necessary for all food types from fresh
produce to ready to eat meals. The aluminum free food pouch also known
as the alu-free pouch are designed to have numerous advantages which
include superior barrier property, perfect air-tightness, optimal
puncture resistance to preserve the organoleptic qualities of the food,
diverse options for easy opening, rotoprinting to optimize product
communication, customization of the pouch according to desired visual
effects like glossy, matte, transparent etc.
Also packing food in plastic is much more
convenient as users can view the contents in the pouch which is not
possible in aluminum pouches. Also, aluminum reacts with the acids in
acidic food, therefore most of the companies are opting for making
aluminum free food pouches.
The use of aluminum free food pouches are
widely accepted by the consumers as they are lightweight and easy to
handle, in addition to being eco-friendly. In addition, these pouches
are more cost effective as compared to aluminum pouches as they offer
flexibility and ensure better shelf visibility, thereby driving the
growth of this market.
By region, Asia Pacific is leading the
market due to increasing number of middle class customers with greater
spending power, who are more appealed toward cost-effective aluminum
free pouches, especially in India and China. But this can only be
credited due to high population in these countries and according to the
per capita consumption of these pouches. The market in Asia Pacific is
followed by Europe and North American markets respectively.
