In January 2024, the European Union tightened regulations on packaging materials, requiring stand-up pouches to meet higher safety and recyclability standards, increasing costs for manufacturers. 

• Supply Chain Disruptions: Volatility in raw material supplies and escalating costs of packaging materials present significant challenges for the industry. These fluctuations disrupt production schedules and drive up expenses, impacting profitability and pricing strategies.
