The beverage packaging market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $152.63 billion in 2024 to $162.11 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising consumption of non-alcoholic beverages, increasing urbanization and lifestyle shifts, growing demand for single-serve formats, heightened awareness of health and wellness trends, and the increasing popularity of ready-to-drink products.
The beverage packaging market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $203.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth expected in the forecast period is driven by the rising demand for sustainable packaging, a growing preference for on-the-go consumption, increased adoption of smart packaging technologies, expanding e-commerce beverage sales, and stronger regulatory support for eco-friendly materials. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in smart packaging technologies, the integration of IoT-enabled tracking systems, technology-driven automation in packaging lines, developments in active and intelligent packaging, and progress in digital printing for personalized packaging.
The rapid expansion of e-commerce is expected to drive the growth of the beverage packaging market in the coming years.
