Global Cluster Packaging Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)
Global Cluster Packaging Market Overview
The global cluster packaging market size is estimated to reach US$1.2 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of around 5.6% from 2022 to 2027. The cluster packaging consists of a collection of related goods, which is sold as a single unit in the market. The product is wrapped and grouped together, thereby allowing convenience in carrying and handling. The cluster packaging includes paper & paperboard (poly coated paper, corrugated paper, and others), plastics, metal, and other market types. Furthermore, the global cluster packaging industry is driven by high demand in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care & cosmetics sector. The rising applications of cluster packaging machinery technology in the FMCG sector owing to its convenience, bulk handling, efficiency, and others will offer high growth in the global cluster packaging market during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact
The covid-19 pandemic hampered the growth and functioning in the global cluster packaging market. The cluster packaging has major applications in the food & beverage sector, personal care, and other sector. The worldwide lockdown restrictions, production disturbances, and supply and demand gap impacted the growth in the market. The food & beverage industry experienced major hindrance during the covid-19 outbreak. The food sector was affected as there was a shutdown in offline food outlets, retail, hotels, and restaurants, due to falling demand for eating- out-of-home trend during the pandemic. Furthermore, lockdown restrictions on logistics delayed the production and raw material supply in the market, thereby affecting the bulk packaging applications in food sector. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the food service sector saw a decline of around 16.8% in 2020 compared to previous year. The disturbances in manufacturing, supply chain disruptions, and others affected the growth in the market, thereby creating a decline in food packaging services and leading to a fall in the global cluster packaging sector. However, with recovery in food & beverage sector due to rising demand for the online retail and food delivery systems, the food packaging saw a growth during the late stages of pandemic and post pandemic, which boosted the demand for cluster packaging market.

Global Cluster Packaging Market Segment Analysis – By Material Type
By material type, the paper & paperboard segment is expected to have the largest global cluster packaging market share of over 32.0% in 2021. The paper and paperboard includes poly coated paper, corrugated paper, kraft paper, and others. The advantage of paperboards such as durability, lightweight, recyclability, and others compared to single-use plastics for food industry is creating high demand in the global cluster packaging industry. Furthermore, highly advanced cluster packaging machinery is used for high efficiency, cost benefits, and time saving. The paperboard packaging offers sustainability, environmental benefits, and effectiveness for food applications. For instance, the Two Sides survey performed at Europe in the year 2020 states that around 62% of consumers prefer paper and paperboard packaging for environment safety and sustainability. Thus, due to high sustainability, recyclability, and reusability for various food applications, the demand for paper & paperboard type will grow in the global cluster packaging industry in the coming years.
Global Cluster Packaging Market Segment Analysis – By Application
By application, the wine & beer segment held the largest growth share with 26.0% in 2021 and will dominate the global cluster packaging industry in the coming years. The applications of cluster packaging for beer and wine through neck through wrapping and cluster sleeve are growing. It offers smooth product handling, convenience in transporting, and others. For instance, firms such as Saxon packaging and Smurfit Kappa provide corrugated paper packaging owing to its sustainability and reusability. According to the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV), the world wine productions in 2020 accounted for around mid-range 258 million hectoliters. Furthermore, with growing consumption for wine and beer, the demand for cluster packaging is high in the market, thereby contributing to increase the global cluster packaging market size and growth opportunities in the coming years.
Global Cluster Packaging Market Segment Analysis- By End-Use Industry
By end-use industry, the food & beverage segment is expected to have the largest global cluster packaging market share of more than 27.0% in 2021. The demand for cluster packaging is high in the food & beverage sector due to rising demand for packaged food items, ready-to-eat items, and others across the world. The usage of flexible and sustainable plastics and paperboard material type is increasing in cluster packaging due to its reusability, efficiency, and lightweight features. According to the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA), the flexible packaging sector in the US was valued for USD 33.5 billion in 2019, with food packaging sector accounting for 51% share.

According to the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the organized packaged food sector was expected to reach around USD 780 million in the year 2020. Moreover, various companies are replacing the single-use plastics with paper-based packaging for bottles, boxes, and others, thereby boosting the growth in the global cluster packaging industry.
Increasing demand from food and beverage sector
The demand for packaged food and beverage items is increasing rapidly due to changing eating habits towards ready-to-eat packaged food and busy lifestyle trends. The rising applications of cluster packaging form in beer, wine, frozen foods, and others is boosting the growth of global cluster packaging industry. According to the Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP), the consumption of packaging increased from 4.3kg per person per annum to around 8.5 kg per person per annum in the past decade in India. Furthermore, the flexible packaging for food and beverages such as fresh fruits, eggs, salads, and others is propelling the demand for cluster packaging or bulk packages. The preference for sustainable and recyclable packaging type is also growing in the bulk product packaging for food items. Thus, with increasing demand for the packaged food and beverage product, the global cluster packaging market will experience growth during the forecast period.
Global cluster packaging market Challenges
