The loose food storage appliances market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $14.92 billion in 2024 to $15.76 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as rising health consciousness among consumers, increased awareness about reducing food waste, busy lifestyles driving bulk food purchases, a shift toward eco-friendly consumer behaviors, and the impact of social media on home organization.
The loose food storage appliances market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.39 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth anticipated in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the rising middle-class population, increasing urbanization, growth in nuclear households, higher disposable incomes, and the rapid expansion of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer models. Key trends during this period include the introduction of smart food storage appliances, the integration of sensors for humidity and freshness monitoring, the use of antimicrobial materials in containers, advancements in thermal insulation technologies, and the development of advanced vacuum sealing systems.
The rising trend of online grocery shopping is expected to significantly propel the growth of the loose food storage appliances market in the coming years. Online grocery shopping involves purchasing food and household items via digital platforms, enabling customers to order remotely and either have products delivered or prepared for pickup. This convenience allows consumers to save time by ordering essentials from home, eliminating the need to visit physical stores. The growth in online grocery shopping fuels demand for effective home food storage solutions, encouraging consumers to invest in loose food storage appliances. These appliances help maintain the freshness and reduce waste of bulk and unpackaged goods bought online. For example, a report published by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in November 2024 revealed that approximately 19.4% of U.S. grocery shoppers aged 15 and older purchased groceries online at least once in both 2022 and 2023. Online grocery shopping was especially prevalent among younger consumers, with 26% of those aged 15 to 24 engaging in this practice. Thus, the continued rise in online grocery shopping is poised to boost the loose food storage appliances market.
Leading companies in the loose food storage appliances market are focusing on developing innovative products like rigid containers to provide cost-effective and environmentally friendly packaging options. Rigid containers are sturdy, inflexible packaging solutions that protect products while maintaining their shape during storage and transport. For instance, in October 2024, Novolex, a US-based manufacturer specializing in food, beverage, and specialty packaging, introduced the TamperFlag rigid containers. These containers feature a tamper-evident flag that automatically pops up upon opening, clearly indicating if the package has been unsealed to ensure consumer safety. Designed for efficient packing, the TamperFlag activates in a single step when the lid is closed. Available in sizes ranging from 8 to 32 ounces, these containers are ideal for both wet and dry grab-and-go snacks, offering a leak-resistant design to keep food fresh. Furthermore, they help reduce plastic waste by eliminating tear strips and shrink bands, provide a smooth labeling surface, allow easy stackability, and are made with up to 50% post-consumer recycled plastic to promote sustainability.
In January 2024, Berlin Packaging, a US-based packaging company, acquired Alpack Limited for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Berlin Packaging's presence in Ireland and broadens its portfolio of food packaging solutions. The partnership leverages the combined strengths of both companies to better serve the diverse packaging needs of customers across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. Alpack Limited is an Ireland-based manufacturer specializing in loose food storage jars.
