Plant-Based Sources Gaining Traction in Edible Films and Coatings Market

Edible films and coatings market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period (2024–2031). The market for edible films and coatings is driven by changing industry sentiment to move toward plant-based sources to produce edible films and coatings. The factors contributing to the shift include a rise in the vegan and vegetarian consumer bases, improvements in plant-based films and coating properties, and the cost-effectiveness of the source. For instance, in April 2021, AgroFresh Solutions, Inc., a global producer of freshness solutions, launched VitaFreshTM Botanicals Life Ultra, a plant-based, edible coating that keeps produce fresh and reduces food loss and waste.
