Aseptic packaging can be defined as the procedure of filling sterile
products in sterile containers or packages in a completely aseptic
environment. These types of packaging are used for fruit juices,
soups and broths and dairy products among others in order to save
them from harmful microbial and other contamination. It is an updated
packaging system accepted by manufacturers in order to increase their
serve customers with fresh food and beverages and increase products
shelf life. Such packaging results in the aseptic packaging market
also enabled manufacturers to commercialize range products that
cannot be provided through conventional packaging. Therefore, it
helps them to improve their product portfolio. The biopharma,
pharmaceutical and cosmeceuticals markets have conventionally been
the suit of the global aseptic packaging market. In the
pharmaceutical industry, it has played a major role. Drugs are
sensitive products, and with a significant degree of susceptibility
to micro organisms. Hence, drugs are supplied in aseptically packed
ampoules and viral or other injectables, which decline their chances
of being exposed to the environment and increase their shelf life.
However, the food and beverage, dairy products and processed fruit
industry has conventionally been the strong suit of the global
aseptic packaging market. Aseptic packaging is used where the
sterility of a product needs to be protected. In some cases, it keeps
products sterile for up to two years and more.
The global aseptic packaging market is expected to witness
substantial growth during the forecast period, particularly due to
ease of disposal. Development in the food and beverage and
pharmaceutical industries helped in gaining significance market for
aseptic packaging. In food industry, demand for convenience food has
played the major driver for the growth of the industry. Beverages
have shows promising growth. This growth is increased by the shift of
buyer from carbonated soft drinks to healthier drinks such as energy
and sports drinks, fresh fruit juices and dairy beverages. However,
beverages accounts for the largest share in global aseptic packaging
market, followed by the pharmaceutical industries. The development of
pre-filled syringes is building space for pharmaceutical packaging on
aseptic technology.
Asia Pacific has experienced high growth in the forecast period
followed by Europe and North America. The demand for aseptic
packaging in Asia Pacific is primarily driven by rising disposal
income, growing demand for dairy products, combined with the tropical
climate here, has created a ground for the growth of the aseptic
packaging market. The leading players in globally include Schott AG,
Tetra Laval, Reynolds Group Holdings, Robert Bosch GmBH (Germany) and
