Rising production of milk in Asia Pacific will lead to expansion in dairy products and, as a result will positively influence the aseptic packaging market in the region over the next few years. As witnessed in the year 2017, Asia has shown a rise in output in milk production by 1.9%, solely contributed by India and Pakistan, compensating the declines coming from China.

Many regional governments have abolished or are in the process of banning the use of single use plastic products in order to curb ecological damages caused by them. For instance, in Boston, the authorities have banned the use of non-biodegradable plastic bags and implemented 5 cent tax for the use of single-use bags. China has imposed a heavy fine of 10,000 Chinese Yuan (around USD 1,500) on manufacturers for illegal distribution of plastic packaging materials.
 

Similar strategies have been employed by various legislations across the globe. Product manufacturers will need to comply to these regulations strictly in order to avoid any legal issues in future. Rising consumer awareness about the health and environmental impact from food and beverage products sold in plastic packages may also hinder the aseptic packaging market growth over the coming years.
