Cans to Outpace Other Packaging Formats in Infant Formula Packaging Market
Metal cans are considered as mainstream packaging format in the infant formula packaging market. Cans are expected to create an incremental opportunity of ~US$ 2 Bn by 2027; this can be attributed to the rigidity and anti-extrusion and moisture-free features of the metal cans.

This is one of the key factors in the growth of metal cans in the infant formula packaging market over the forecast period. Paper and paperboard cartons in the market represent environment-friendly and cost-effective solutions coupled with better printability options. However, while storing and transportation, they are very prone to crush and might undergo other environmental issues like humidity, which might decline the sales in infant formula packaging market.
Plastic pouches are also widely used by infant formula manufacturers, as the packaging technology has developed immensely in the past five years. Infant formula packaging manufacturers are trying to incorporate the anti-rubbing feature in the pouches to overcome any pinholes on the surface of the package. Therefore, the pouches segment is anticipated to witness healthy CAGR during the forecast period in the infant formula packaging market.

Generally, infant formula packaging manufacturers who opt for powdered form stores their products in metal cans and plastic tubs, as they offer improved salability and better durability.

Additionally, to maintain quality of infant formula products, customer’s preference towards small-sized packaging formats that include sachets, flow wraps, stick packs, etc., are significant. Instead of using large-sized containers and degraded quality of infant formula, and repeated opening and reclosing of containers, consumers are having a great emphasis on one-time-use packaging formats of infant formula. “On-the-go” packaging formats with clean labelling are most preferred formats among consumers in the infant formula packaging market.
Infant formula packaging products are specially designed as per the regulations of the FDA. Various types of packaging formats for infant formula packaging are available, including plastic containers such as tubs, metal cans, folding cartons, and flexible packaging such as pouches. These packaging formats are best suitable packaging solutions for wet and dry infant formula. Low carbon impact packaging material and easy to recyclable material are gaining more traction among end users. Nowadays, the infant formula is available in pouches made up of paper. The demand for product safety, convenience features for “No-Fuss” packaging and re-sealability is increasing among consumers.
