Functional beverages are doing more. Packaging needs to do more too.

From hydration and protein to gut health, immunity and mindful wellness, the next generation of beverages is redefining what consumers expect from every sip.

But innovation inside the pack needs innovation around it.

From product protection and shelf life to convenience, sustainability and brand communication, aseptic packaging can play a critical role in taking functional beverages from emerging trends to scalable global products.

As the industry comes together at SIAL Paris 2026, one question takes centre stage:

Is packaging ready to take the next beverage revolution forward?

Read the latest Asepto blog to explore what’s next.

Europe’s plant-based dairy revolution set to double by 2034!
According to Fortune Business Insights, the region’s plant-based milk market is projected to grow from USD 2.80 billion in 2026 to USD 4.45 billion by 2034, a 5.95% CAGR. Oat remains the anchor of the category, but the sharper movement is happening at the edges — organic variants are growing at a 6.77% CAGR, pea-based formats are gaining ground with protein-conscious consumers, and adoption is widening in foodservice, as coffee chains standardise plant-based options across the counter.

Across Europe, lactose intolerance prevalence ranges from as low as 4% to as high as 56% depending on the region — a spread wide enough to explain why plant-based milk has moved from a niche aisle to a mainstream repeat purchase. None of this scales on formulation alone. A plant-based beverage that can’t hold its taste, texture and nutritional integrity without refrigeration doesn’t travel past a regional footprint, let alone a pan-European one.

That’s the layer Asepto works in. Asepto’s aseptic carton and filling technology is built to keep dairy-alternative and plant-based beverages fresh at ambient temperature — helping brands move from local launch to continent-wide distribution without rebuilding their cold chain.
