According to Fortune Business Insights the global stand-up pouches market size was valued at USD 34.38 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 36.77 billion in 2025 to USD 64.17 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.28% during the forecast period. Growth is driven by rising demand for flexible packaging, convenience features such as zippers and spouts, and the increasing adoption of sustainable packaging formats. The market benefits from the shift from rigid packaging to lightweight, cost-efficient flexible alternatives.

Key Market Drivers:

  • Convenience & Portability: Stand-up pouches are lightweight, resealable, and easy to transport, making them ideal for ready-to-eat meals, snacks, and beverages. They support on-the-go consumption trends and offer longer shelf life with high-barrier materials.

  • Shift Toward Flexible Packaging: Manufacturers prefer flexible pouches due to reduced material usage, lower transportation cost, and improved design versatility. Stand-up pouches increasingly replace cans, jars, and rigid plastic containers.

  • Sustainability & Recyclable Formats: Growing interest in recyclable, mono-material pouches (especially PE-based) and bio-based packaging is boosting demand. Industry collaborations are focusing on recyclable and lightweight designs.
