Abstract:

This abstract delves into the captivating realm of ‘retort food packing’ and how it can contribute into the imminent global food crisis. The retort pouch packaging market was valued at USD3.06 billion in 2020, and is estimated to reach USD4~5billion by 2026 and yet is expected to grow at the pace of 6% CGR over the coming years. The once luxury type of package which used to be popular only in certain markets, namely Japan, has immensely increased its demand globally due to several factors mainly for the preference for ready to serve packing solutions which also ensures room temperature distribution and longer shelf life. We would like to present an overview of the ‘retort food packing with the following contents: 0. Background Global challenges caused by contradiction of “Food Crisis” and “Food Waste” 1.
