The North America Retort Pouch Market is expected to grow at a significant rate with a CAGR of 6.4% to a total value of 1906 million USD in 2030.
A retort pouch, also known as a retort able pouch, is a type of food packaging constructed of flexible plastic and metal foil laminate. It is utilized as an alternative to standard industrial canning methods for the sterile packing of a wide variety of food and drink handled by aseptic processing. Packaged foods range from water to fully cooked, thermo-stabilized (heat-treated), high-calorie (1,300 kcal on average) meals like Meals, Ready-to-Eat (MREs), which can be eaten cold, warmed by submerging in hot water, or heated with a flameless ration heater.
North America is expected to have a large share of the market. Increased urbanization, hectic work lives, rising single-household populations, and rising consumer spending power have fuelled the expansion of pre-packaged products, which are typically packaged in stand-up retort pouches, hence acting as significant drivers for the retort pouch sector.
