How to Import Wine Bottle Carriers from Southeast Asia?

In today’s global retail and hospitality markets, presentation and sustainability have become as important as the product itself, especially for wine brands and retailers. Wine bottle carriers—an essential accessory for packaging, gifting, and promotional displays—are experiencing surging demand globally.

Southeast Asia (SEA) has emerged as a trusted region for sourcing high-quality, customizable, and export-ready wine carriers at competitive prices, offering a strategic advantage for importers looking to capitalise on eco-conscious trends and premium branding.

The Global Market for Wine Bottle Carriers: Trends & Opportunities

The global market for wine packaging accessories, including carriers, gift boxes, and sleeves, was valued at approximately USD 3.8 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow beyond USD 5.6 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.5%. The rising consumer preference for eco-friendly, reusable, and premium presentation solutions fuels this growth.

Key drivers include:

• The expansion of retail wine & spirits sales, especially in emerging markets.
• The booming luxury gifting and corporate gifting segments.
• Increasing adoption of environmentally sustainable packaging aligning with ESG goals.
• The rising popularity of private-label and custom branding wines.

Southeast Asia has solidified its position as a cost-efficient and quality-consistent export hub — offering biodegradable, recyclable, and customizable carriers at scale.
