The global slider bags market was valued at USD 13.61 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period.
Slider bags are a type of packing bag with a zipper. Slider bags are rectangular storage flexible packaging bags that are transparent, affordable, and have a slider for opening and closing. Most slider bags are made of paper and plastic. Since the zipper can be easily damaged or broken while repeatedly opening and shutting the bag, consumers find zipper bags challenging to use. These bags cannot be used repeatedly as a result. As a result, slider bags are the most practical packaging choice because they prolong the life of the bags and allow for several uses. The need for slider bags has increased as a result of the rising demand for flexible packaging across a range of end uses.

Many companies are switching from conventional rigid packaging for their products to flexible packaging options such as slider bags and pouches. This change is mostly due to a significant decrease in production costs and an increase in transportation effectiveness. Slider bags made of Kraft paper are now the packaging of choice for many firms to serve the future market because they are an eco-friendly and all-natural way to package goods and commodities. Slider bags made of paper are the future of the packaging industry because of the numerous issues associated with plastic packaging solutions that are creating an increasing amount of plastic waste and considering the environment.
The market for slider bags will continue to increase as a result of technological advancement and development, including labeling. Slider bags are known to extend the shelf life of the goods or articles they contain due to their reusable qualities. Additionally, food manufacturers like packing food products in slider bags because of the moisture-sealing qualities of these bags. These zipper bags are used for more than just packaging food and medicine; they are also used in the transportation and cosmetics industries. Manufacturers of cosmetic items have increased their demand for slider bags because of the growing necessity for safe packaging against leaks or contamination. Due to their low weight and preservation qualities, these self-adhesive bags are also in high demand in the transportation sector.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and the subsequent global lockdown, which caused the construction, manufacturing, hotel, and tourism industries to temporarily close, there was a negative effect on the growth of the market. Production operations were suspended or limited. This resulted in a decrease in the production of numerous tools needed to make slider zipper pouches as well as their demand in the market, which constrained the industry's expansion. By the end of 2022, the industry is anticipated to revive as a result of slider zipper pouch businesses restarting at full capacity.

Polyethylene is a polymer which is widely used for manufacturing bags. It has outstanding qualities including strength and stiffness, ease of processing/molding, chemical resistance, penetration to gases like air (thus the popular use in plastic grocery bags), etc., although it can be a little more brittle when compared to other materials like PVC or PET. PE is a more environmentally friendly option than other types of bags because it doesn't contain chlorine atoms other than surface pollutants.
PVC is the material used to make PVC bags. A plasticizer is added to the polymer during formation, increasing its flexibility and toughness. Because of its greater transparency compared to other polymers like PE or LDPE, PVC can be made semi-transparent for usage as plastic wrap or foil wrapping. The characteristics of PET films include good chemical resistance, hydrophobicity, poor stability to gases like O2 and N2O (nitrogen oxides), and others. These characteristics make PET an excellent material for food contact applications, such as snack food bagging and wrapping, where hygienic standards demand a minimal amount of processing steps to maintain a high level of cleanliness during manufacturing (injection molding, extrusion, and thermoforming).
