global food packaging films market dynamics

Market Dynamics

Customers' Awareness and Demand on Transparency

The increased demand for transparent packaging results from consumer awareness of sustainability and food safety, which additionally increases brand loyalty and trust.According to the World Health Organization (WHO) reveals that food contamination leads to over 600 million cases of disease and 420,000 fatalities annually. This highlights the pressing need for effective food packaging solutions to address safety concerns, minimize environmental impact, and promote sustainability. 

Increased demand for sustainable packaging  solutions

The consumers and industry players are increasingly seeking for sustainable packaging options as a result of the growing plastic waste crisis, with a preference for recyclable, biodegradable, or renewable materials to mitigate the adverse environmental consequences.According to the National Institute of Health (gov.),in Janurary 2023, the amount of plastic packaging waste generated in Europe is expected to increase from $23 million tons to a staggering $92 million tons by 2050. This alarming statistic highlights the urgent need for action in reducing the environmental footprint and improving the safety of packaging. The long degradation period of plastic waste poses a serious threat to wildlife and ocean biodiversity, as it absorbs toxic compounds and spreads them throughout our ecosystems.

Market Segmentation

Our in-depth analysis of the global food packaging films market includes the following segments by type, material, and application:

  • Based on type, the market is sub-segmented into flexible, and rigid.
  • Based on solution, the market is augmented into polyethylene (PE) films, polypropylene (PP) films, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films, polyamide (PA) films, and others(polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) films, and ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) films).
  • Based on technology, the market is sub-segmented into passenger train, and freight train

Rigid is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment

Based on the type, the food packaging films market is sub-segmented into flexible, and rigid. Among these, the rigid sub-segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market. The primary factor supporting the segment's growth includes the increasing demand for the desire for recyclable, sustainable packaging solutions that satisfy both regulatory requirements and market expectations such as, rigid rPET is driven by consumer awareness of environmental concerns. For instance, in October 2022, LINPAC launched rigid recycle polyethylene terepthalate (rPET) solutions to enhance its current portfolio of expanded polystyrene (EPS) Hotpacs, catering trays, plates, and bowls. Its a new range of food service packaging options, including hinged-lid and film lidded rigid RPET solutions for prepared fresh food.

Polypropylene (PP) Films Sub-segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share

The continuous innovation in packaging materials and manufacturing technologies, driven by collaboration between material suppliers, manufacturers, and food producers, leads to the development of high-performance films. For instance, in March 2022, Cosmo Films, launched a white cast polypropylene (CPP) film with high coefficient of friction (COF).A film with a seal strength of over 1,800-gf/inch and 95°C seal initiation temperature addresses layer slippage, achieving uniform sealing area in final pouches. Its film-to-film and film-to-metal coefficients are over 0.4. 

Regional Outlook

The global food packaging films market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin   America). 

Demand for sustainable food packaging films is being fulfilled by North American producers

The need for environmentally friendly packaging solutions from North American customers has prompted manufacturers to develop packaging films that utilize recyclable materials, biodegradable polymers, and renewable resources.According to the National institute of Health (gov.) in November 2020,  the population growth is predicted to drive a 50% increase in global food demand by 2050, necessitating increased demand for food packaging materials that meet food quality, sustainability, and consumer safety standards.
