The retort pouches segment is projected to grow at the highest rate among all pack types. This is mainly because of the growing consumption of ready-to-eat meals and excellent barrier properties provided by retort pouches against oxygen, moisture, and other contamination. However, the stand-up pouches segment is projected to account for the largest market share in 2021 owing to its various functional characteristics and eye-catching shelf appeal.

The global flexible packaging market is segmented, region-wise, into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and RoW. The Asia-Pacific region accounted for the largest share among all the regions in 2015 and is projected to grow at the highest rate from 2016 to 2021.
