A retort pouch is a three-layered laminate made of plastic and metal foil while possessing a long shelf-life. They are usually equipped with 3 or 4 wide seals that are created by the process of aseptic processing. This allows for sterile packaging of a wide variety of drinks that can be stored, such as water to fully cooked, thermo-stabilized meals, and ready-to-eat meals. Advantages that a retort pouch has over the traditional packaging method are the shape profile, uniform distribution of heat, and longer shelf life.
A large portion of the working population is acclimated to a busy and moving lifestyle, which leads them to consume convenient and ready-to-eat meals. This gives rise to consumption patterns that favor the growth of the global retort pouch market. Additionally, the inclusion of healthy and nutritional benefits coupled with rising healthy and conscious awareness will further give rise to a potential revenue stream for the market's growth.
Increased shelf life within retort pouch products and the added ability to not require additional refrigeration or freezing will further add to the market volume. Products stored within retort pouches can be easily stored in compact or enclosed spaces. This can give rise to stockpiling in times of crisis, further adding value to the market value of the global retort pouch.

COVID-19 affected global world trades and business sectors as regular lockdowns and restrictions of movement on the general population were imposed to curb the spread of the virus. The pandemic's epicenter was formed in China, which is a global manufacturing hub. This absence of Chinese manufacturing capabilities heavily created a gap in the demand/supply chain. However, many manufacturers and producers were opting to move their hubs to nearby regions, taking the stress away from the accumulated supply chain and creating efficiency. The shutdown of physical stores led to low sales volume. However, the redistribution through e-commerce channels counteracted the negative impact on the market.
