$ 444b Food Packaging Market Faces Supply Chain Shake-Up
As Go-Pak Launches Global Trading Platform
SUSTAINABLE packaging specialist Go-Pak Group has launched a new global trading platform designed to simplify international procurement for foodservice brands and cut supply chain complexity across the rapidly expanding packaging sector.
The platform, Go-Pak International, allows customers to consolidate orders from multiple suppliers into a single shipment, creating mixed containers that combine products from Go-Pak’ s own manufacturing network, its Thailand-based parent company SCG Packaging and approved third-party suppliers.
The launch comes as demand for foodservice packaging continues to surge worldwide. The global foodservice packaging market is expected to reach $ 444.9 billion in 2026, driven by the growth of takeaway dining, delivery platforms and quick-service restaurants.
Against this backdrop, Go-Pak says the new platform aims to help

Adam Anderson, group managing director at Go-Pak Group, said:“ Foodservice brands are operating in a fast-moving global market where speed, flexibility and sustainability all matter. With Go- Pak International, we’ re enabling customers to source packaging more efficiently by consolidating products from across our own network, SCGP and trusted thirdparty suppliers.
“ Just as we have done with initiatives such as our closedloop cardboard recycling solution Go-Recycle, we’ re looking at the bigger picture of how packaging supply chains can evolve. By reducing complexity, improving logistics efficiency and helping cut waste across distribution, we’ re supporting the industry’ s transition towards a more circular future.”
Acting as a single point of contact for international orders, Go-Pak International operates from its facilities in Vietnam, enabling brands to consolidate smaller packaging products from multiple factories, suppliers or locations into a single container and shipment. By allowing mixed containers, the platform removes the need for businesses to manage multiple suppliers, shipments and procurement processes.
The model is designed to benefit both global quick-service restaurant chains and smaller foodservice brands looking to scale internationally, with the option to include bespoke branding. By combining products from different suppliers within the same shipment, businesses can reduce freight costs while improving efficiencies. Customers can access a wider portfolio of packaging products
