The Global Single-serve Packaging Market was valued at approximately USD 9.79 billion in 2023 and is projected to experience a steady growth rate of 6.38% over the forecast period 2024-2032. The increasing demand for convenience-based packaging solutions, driven by evolving consumer lifestyles and the rising adoption of on-the-go consumption, has significantly propelled the expansion of the single-serve packaging industry.

Meanwhile, the personal care sector is witnessing increasing adoption of single-dose packaging for skincare and cosmetic products, further expanding market opportunities.
