Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global market for liquid packaging boards to grow at a CAGR of over 4% between 2016 and 2020. The growth of this market is spurred by the rising demand for single-serve packs in the market. The recent rise in the number of single-person households has led to the increased demand for single serve packs in various consumer products of the mass consumption branded category. This preference for single serve packs fuels opportunities for brand switching, as consumers are not committed to consuming large volumes at a time. During 2015, the global liquid packaging board market was dominated by Europe with a market share of around 57%. The demand for alternative drinks among consumers will contribute to the growth of the market in this region during the forecast period.
