The Lamipak LamiUltra 180ml format emerges as a strategic solution amidst an increasingly segmented market trend.

Market Analysis: Key Data & Trends 2026.

Single-Serve Market The global single-serve packaging market is projected to reach a value of USD 10.9 billion by the end of 2025, with a Compound Annual
