There are numerous benefits associated with aseptic packaging for food and beverage products. Aseptic packaging helps boosts the shelf life of the food and beverage products by an estimated six to twelve months without refrigeration. The increased product longevity offers manufacturers more time to ship and sell their products before they expire or lose flavor. The use of unique materials in aseptic packaging has made storing selected food and beverage products at ambient temperatures possible. Shipping and storing various products at ambient temperatures without refrigeration leads to an increased customer base for manufacturers because these products can be catered to retailers and food-service entities that do not have enough refrigerated storage space.
Aseptic packaging is lightweight and more compact than other traditional packaging types, allowing the manufacturers to decrease shipping costs by reducing shipping weight. The high-tech aseptic packaging process helps maintain and preserve the quality of food and beverage products. Quality preservation means that the taste, smell, and nutritional value will not be compromised, and consumers can rest assured that the food and beverage product will be of high quality.
The demand for convenience food products with long shelf-life, which are either free of or can delay bacterial contamination, has increased. Food preservatives are widely used in food production to increase the shelf life and preserve the quality of the product. However, consumers have raised awareness about the harmful effects of consuming processed foods with additives. Thus, there is a growing requirement to replace artificial preservatives with natural food ingredients with antimicrobial activity. However, natural ingredients are comparatively expensive, and aseptic packaging is preferred for packaging such expensive products, as they promise extended shelf life. Aseptic packaging complements natural ingredients, allowing a manufacturer to produce a natural, shelf-stable product. Thus, several benefits of aseptic packaging are driving the growth of the aseptic packaging for the food and beverages market.
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the aseptic packaging for food and beverages market growth at a notable CAGR during the forecast period
