Retort pouches refer to flexible sacks made to pack ready-to-eat (RTE) or ready-to-cook (RTC) foods that require sterilization to ensure a long shelf life. These are made from laminates of flexible plastic and metal foil, providing good barrier properties against moisture, oxygen, light, and contaminants. Their unique construction and design enable the retort pouches to withstand the high temperatures and high pressures used during the retort sterilization process, which subjects the packed food to exact heat for a specific time to kill dangerous bacteria and enzymes. Such a process keeps the flavor, texture, and food value unchanged without any need for refrigeration; hence, retort pouches are vastly used to store a variety of products, from soups, sauces, ready meals, and pet foods. The lightweight feature and space-saving capability make retort pouches popular for military rations, camping food, and emergency food kits.
The global retort pouches market size reached US$ 1.9 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 3.5 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% during 2024-2032.
