According to a market research report by Mordor Intelligence, the global flexible packaging market for tea is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2021 to 2026. The report cites the increasing demand for convenience and sustainability as the main drivers of this growth.
The main advantage of flexible packaging for tea is its ability to protect the tea leaves from external factors such as moisture, oxygen and light. This ensures that the tea maintains its freshness and flavor for a longer period of time. Flexible packaging also takes up less space making it easier to store and transport.
Flexible packaging options for tea include pouch packaging, stand-up pouches and bags with zippers or sealable tops. These options allow for easy portion control and the ability to reseal the package after use, preserving the freshness of the tea.
Flexible packaging for tea is also more environmentally friendly compared to traditional options such as glass or metal. It requires less energy to produce and can be easily recycled, making it a more sustainable choice.
