Amcor plc’s Acquisition of Moda Systems Strengthens Competitive Position in the Global Flexible Packaging Market

DUBLIN, Oct. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The “Flexible Packaging Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Material (Plastic, Paper, Metal, Bioplastics), By Product, By Application, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 – 2030” report has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global flexible packaging market is poised for remarkable growth, with expectations of reaching a substantial USD 373.34 billion by 2030. This growth is projected to accelerate at a steady CAGR of 4.7% from 2023 to 2030.

Key drivers of this market expansion include the increasing importance of extending food shelf life and the growing adoption of sustainable and cost-effective packaging solutions by end-users.

Enhancing Food Shelf Life:

The shelf life of food products depends on various factors, including storage conditions, packaging material, and exposure to external elements such as microorganisms, oxygen, light, and moisture. Flexible packaging, consisting of plastic films with high barrier properties, efficiently blocks the transmission of moisture, light, and oxygen, safeguarding sensitive foods. Reseal closure features in flexible packaging allow users to securely close bags or pouches, ensuring the freshness of packaged food products over multiple uses.

Sustainability and Cost Efficiency:

Flexible packaging offers sustainability benefits, consuming less energy during manufacturing and transportation compared to rigid packaging. According to the Flexible Packaging Association, the production of a flexible pouch requires 50% less energy than a rigid container of a similar size. Additionally, the lighter weight of flexible packaging reduces fuel consumption during transportation, with one truckload of flexible pouches holding the same product volume as 26 truckloads of rigid containers.

Market Dynamics:

Industry players are adopting various strategies, including partnerships, expansions, mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, new product launches, and partnership agreements to expand their customer base and individual market share. For instance, Amcor plc recently announced its agreement to acquire Moda Systems, a New Zealand-based manufacturer of automated protein packaging machines. This strategic acquisition is set to provide Amcor plc with high-speed rotary equipment for packaging fresh meat, enhancing its competitive position in flexible packaging.
