Packaging Films Market Forecast With Potential Impact, Despite Covid-19 Pandemic, Finds FMI 2022 - 2032
Edible packaging films are expected to be the new normal in
the food industry, projects Future Market Insights (FMI) in a new study. The
sales in the global packaging films
market will grow by 3.9% CAGR through 2032.
Consumers are increasingly
focusing on sustainability and nature-based packaging products. Edible packaging
is one of the booming trends in the food industry which ensures optimum
utilization of the natural resources for packaging. Edible packaging is not
only available in rigid formats but also in flexible formats such as edible
packaging films. Many of the companies are following research on manufacturing
edible packaging films that are made from food products, safe for human beings
and other animals, and easy to digest.
The global packaging films market is estimated at US$ 143.7
billion in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 209.7 billion by 2032, at a CAGR
of 3.9% from 2022 to 2032.
For instance, Agricultural Research Services (ARS), the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, has formulated food wraps from casein. These
packaging films/wraps are having many nutritional values as it is made up of
milk protein. Therefore, these packaging films are edible and help to reduce
waste.
Besides this, an
international group of scientists from India and Russia has developed edible
packaging films for food packaging such as vegetables, fruits, seafood, meat,
poultry, etc. As these packaging films are made up of natural ingredients, they
are completely soluble in the water and safe for health and the environment.
Based on the aforementioned
factors, FMI predicts that edible packaging films and wraps are giving a new
dimension to the packaging industry and are the new normal for the food
industry.

Consistently Increasing Adoption of Flexible Packaging Formats
Motivating Key Players for Manufacturing High Barrier Strength Packaging Films
Pre-made pouches have gained
significant traction for packaging applications in pet food and baby food
products. There are huge opportunities in the pet food and baby food packaging
market for existing manufacturers and new entrants to establish their market
presence. Pre-made pouches are expected to outpace other packaging products
(such as folding carton, jars, trays, and thin wall plastic containers) in
these categories.
Consumers prefer convenient packaging
solutions that offer high-barrier properties and long shelf life. The demand
for pre-made pouches for baby food is increasing at a much faster pace than
before due to the introduction of different closure systems and easy
resealability of these pouches. Additionally, pre-made pouches are made up of
FDA approved materials that assure the safety of food products packed inside.
Pre-made pouches for pet food
packaging are gaining attention due to their retort application, easy
resealability, transparency, and high-barrier properties. Brand owners are also
preferring pre-made pouches over other rigid packaging products to gain cost
competitiveness and increase profitability margins through a reduction in
transportation and raw material costs.
Further, product safety
during transportation is the prime concern of many end users. Packaging films
minimizes the risk of product damage and contamination. These films are not
only used as a primary or secondary packaging formats, but also used as a
tertiary packaging format. Packaging films such as stretch films and shrink
films are used for wrapping around the pallet based bulk packages and ensures
slip-free transportation of products.
To cater with the increasing
consumption of flexible packaging formats, key players are planning for
two-fold investment for increasing production capacity of packaging films. Some
of the manufacturers are also investing on research and development activities
for boosting barrier strength of these films.
