A retort pouch is a
kind of food packaging made from laminate of metal foils and flexible
plastics. It enables sterile packaging for a wide variety of food and
beverages that are processed by antiseptic methods. A retort pouch is
used as an alternative to conventional industrial canning methods.
Retort packaging is being used to pack foods ranging from water to
heat-treated, high-calorific, fully cooked meals such as Meals
Ready-to-Eat(MREs). Retort packaging can be used to pack food items
that can be eaten cold, warmed using a flameless ration heater, or by
submersing it in hot water. The concept of retort packaging was
introduced in 1992 by the U.S. military. Currently, it is used in
space foods, field rations, and camping. The retort packaging market
can be classified based on type into pouches, cartoons, and trays.
Furthermore, based on materials, the market is segmented into
polyester, aluminum foil, polypropylene, nylon, paper board; food
grade cast polypropylene, and others. End-use of retort packaging is
in industries such as food & beverage, healthcare, and personal
care. Human food applications and wet pet food together account for
over half of the total end-use for retort packing.

Pouches have various
advantages such as consumer convenience due to reusable feature,
reduced freight cost and logistics, extended shelf life, compact
shape, and lightweight nature compared to cans. Rising demand for
baby food and pet food products is also primarily driving the retort

changing preferences toward more convenient packaging, increasing
urbanization, and high disposable income of consumers in developing
countries. Factors such as high capital investment and poor sealing
quality, which affects the quality of packed items, are posing key
