The USA and Canada bag in box market is expanding steadily due to increasing demand for cost effective, lightweight, and sustainable packaging solutions across multiple industries. Rising consumer preference for convenient dispensing formats and extended shelf life is encouraging adoption in food, beverage, and dairy categories.
Technological advances in barrier films, dispensing taps, and recyclable materials are further enhancing product performance and sustainability. The shift toward e commerce and bulk packaging has also fueled growth as bag in box formats provide efficient transportation and storage benefits.
Regulatory emphasis on reducing single use plastics and promoting environmentally friendly packaging has reinforced adoption in both countries. The market outlook remains favorable with opportunities in premium product packaging, wine and beverage distribution, and dairy processing, all of which continue to leverage the benefits of bag in box formats for cost, convenience, and sustainability.
The less than 2 liters segment is projected to hold 38.60% of total market revenue by 2025 within the capacity category, making it the most prominent. This is driven by rising consumer preference for compact, convenient, and single serve packaging formats.
Its adoption is further supported by strong demand in retail and household consumption where smaller pack sizes are favored for portability and freshness. The flexibility and lightweight nature of this capacity range have contributed to its popularity in dairy, juice, and specialty beverage packaging.
With growing focus on convenience and waste reduction, the less than 2 liters segment continues to dominate capacity preferences.
The polyethylene PE material segment is expected to account for 44.20% of total market revenue by 2025, positioning it as the leading material type. Its dominance is attributed to durability, flexibility, and cost effectiveness that make it well suited for liquid packaging applications.
Polyethylene offers strong barrier properties against moisture and oxygen, ensuring product safety and extended shelf life. In addition, its recyclability aligns with sustainability commitments across the USA and Canada.
Continuous innovations in multilayer PE films have further enhanced strength and compatibility with food grade applications, reinforcing its leadership position in the material segment.
The dairy products segment is projected to represent 36.90% of total market revenue by 2025 within the application category, making it the leading use case. Growth in this segment is being driven by the need for safe, hygienic, and efficient packaging formats that preserve freshness and extend shelf life.
Bag in box packaging has proven effective in reducing contamination risks and ensuring consistent product dispensing, making it highly suitable for milk, cream, and other dairy liquids. Its cost efficiency in storage and transportation further strengthens its adoption in the dairy industry.
With increasing demand for convenient and sustainable packaging solutions, dairy products remain the leading application segment in the USA and Canada bag in box market.
The North America (collectively estimated from USA and Canada market report) bag-in-box industry witnessed a CAGR of 3.2% during the historical period 2020 to 2024. The market is expected to hit a value of USD 215.8 million in 2020 to USD 274.1 million in 2025.
The USA & Canada bag-in-box industry not only ensures the safety of the product but also provides premium packaging solutions. This helps in effective branding for the manufacturer.
The bag-in-box product is made up of a combined packaging of two layers—inner and outer packing. It consists of the bladder which is a plastic film or a metalized film that is secured by the corrugated box.
These boxes are widely used for liquid food, beverages, chemicals, petroleum, home care, cosmetic, and personal care packaging.
The bag-in-box product usually occupies limited space, which leads to low transportation and storage costs. Once it gets empty, it is transported/delivered flat, which requires very less space, reducing transportation cost.
This pacaging method also helps reduce carbon footprint and can extend the shelf-life of a product. These factors will drive market growth during the forecast period.
Wine producers are adapting bag-in-box containers for wine packaging as it has various advantages over glass bottles. They are easy to pack and distribute, along with being cost-efficient.
The oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of packaging is a prime factor in determining the overall quality of the wine. Bag-in-box provides an efficient oxygen transmission rate over glass bottles and thus, is widely chosen by wine producers.
The wine industry accounts for approximately half of the demand for bag-in-box containers. Industry trends for wine are anticipated to be rather positive. This means that the growth of the wine industry would, in turn, translate into a rise in demand for bag-in-box containers.
According to the USA Department of Agriculture (USDA), USA wine imports reached about USD 261.3 billion in value in 2024. Wine imports to the United States are mostly from the European Union (EU), accounting for 75% of the overall value and 50% of the volume.
The rising trend of using bag-in-box packaging for wine in the USA & Canada is due to its superior quality over glass bottles. Environmental and cost benefits of producing, transporting, storing, and consuming wine using bag-in-box will further bolster the demand in North America.
Strict Quality Control Regimes to Push Demand for Bag-in-Box Packaging
Presently, the polyethylene segment dominates the North America bag-in-box industry. Going by current trends, the USA is expected to retain a significant portion of the market during the forecast period. The polyethylene segment holds around 39.0% share of the market along with creating an incremental opportunity of USD 442.3 million by the end of 2035.
These boxes are widely used for beverages or liquid food products, in which polyethylene (PE) acts as a barrier to moisture and air. It protects the food from getting spoiled.
Due to the cost-effective material and higher product holding capacity, the polyethylene bag-in-box is a widely used packaging material in North America.
Rising Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages to Drive Market Growth
Wine & spirits hold the 1/5th market value share and are expected to reach a valuation of USD 150.5 million at the end of 2035.
North America has a high level of consumption of alcoholic beverages. This has resulted in serious health concerns. To avert these health damages, the USA and Canada population has drastically shifted to low-alcohol beverages such as wine and beer.
The fruit juice segment also holds a significant share of the market after wine & spirit. The fruit juice sector is expected to reach a valuation of USD 133.04 million by 2035 and holds a market value share of 18.9% in the USA & Canada bag-in-box industry.
According to the USA Department of Agriculture (USDA), the total export value of USA wine, beer, and spirits in 2024 is USD 3.58 billion. The rising consumption of wine in the USA will propel the demand for packaging goods for wine such as bag-in-box.
The bag-in-box is easy for handling and ensures safety while transporting. Extending the shelf life of wine is an added benefit that drives market growth.
Demand for Sustainable Packaging Solutions to Provide Boost for Bag-in-Box Manufacturers
According to the Government of Canada, the country imported USD 1,083 million worth of dairy products in Canada in 2024, which was an increase over the previous year.
In 2024, Canada imported USD 958 million of dairy products. The rising consumption and increasing awareness of the benefits on the consumptions of dairy products among young individuals will drive the market growth of the bag-in-box market.
The trend of using bag-in-box packaging for dairy products is rising owing to its attractive, sustainable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly nature. This is expected to significantly bolster demand in Canada.
The higher per capita consumption in this country is expected to rise gradually over the next decade and positively impact the growth of the bag-in-box industry in Canada over the forecast period.
