High Barrier Films Market for Food Packaging by Material Type (PE, BOPP & BOPET, CPP, EVOH, Nylon), Technology, Application (Meat and Fish, Dairy, Snacks, Confectionery, Bakery Products, Pet Food), End User, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2028
The research report titled “High Barrier Films Market for Food Packaging by Material Type (PE, BOPP & BOPET, CPP, EVOH, Nylon), Technology, Application (Meat and Fish, Dairy, Snacks, Confectionery, Bakery Products, Pet Food), End User, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2028” provides an in-depth analysis of the high barrier films market for food packaging in five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, market size, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts to 2028. The high barrier films market for food packaging is expected to record a CAGR of 5.9% from 2021 to 2028 to reach $30.8 billion by 2028.

The growth of this market is mainly attributed to the inclination towards case-ready packaging products, rising need for high barrier packaging films for longer shelf-life, growing consumer concerns for food wastage reduction, and growing demand from the meat industry. Moreover, the growing demand for biodegradable high barrier packaging films is expected to create lucrative opportunities for high barrier film manufacturers in this market. However, susceptibility to degradation is expected to hinder the growth of the high barrier films market for food packaging to some extent.

The global high barrier films market for food packaging study presents historical market data in terms of values (2019 and 2020), estimated current data (2021), and forecasts for 2028- by material type (PE, BOPP and BOPET, CPP, EVOH, Nylon, and other materials), technology (plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and other technologies), application (meat and fish, dairy, snacks, beverages, dehydrated foods & cereals, bakery products, confectionery, pet food, and other food products), and end user (processed food manufacturers and suppliers, packaging service providers, and other end users). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at a regional and country level.

Based on material type, the global high barrier films market for food packaging is segmented into PE, BOPP and BOPET, CPP, EVOH, nylon, and other materials. In 2021, the polyethylene (PE) segment is estimated to remain the largest material type through 2028 in the high barrier films market for food packaging. Moreover, this segment is also expected to witness rapid growth during the forecast period. This segment’s large share is mainly attributed to the rising need to replace glass and metal with polyethylene films and increased demand for hygienic and durable food packaging materials combined with consumer environmental concerns.

Based on technology, the global high barrier films market for food packaging is segmented into plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and other technologies. The PECVD segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period due to its benefits such as low operation temperature, lower chances of cracking deposited layer, good dielectric properties of the deposited layer, decent step coverage, less temperature-dependency, and rising demand for packaged foods.

Based on application, the global high barrier films market for food packaging is segmented into meat and fish, dairy, snacks, beverages, dehydrated foods & cereals, bakery products, confectionery, pet food, and other applications. In 2021, the meat and fish segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global high barrier films market for food packaging. Moreover, this segment is also expected to witness rapid growth during the forecast period. The fastest growth of this segment is mainly attributed to the higher incomes and urbanization, rising consumption of processed meat products, growing global consumption of fish, and increasing consumer preference for protein-rich food products.

Based on the end user, the high barrier films market for food packaging is segmented into processed food manufacturers and suppliers, packaging service providers, and other end users. In 2021, the processed food manufacturers and suppliers segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global high barrier film market for food packaging. Moreover, this segment is also expected to witness rapid growth during the forecast period. The large share is mainly attributed to the growing demand for processed food products and the increasing number of food processing units.

An in-depth analysis of the geographical scenario of the industry provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights about the five major geographies (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa) along with the coverage of major countries in each region. Asia-Pacific is estimated to account for the largest share of the overall high barrier films market for food packaging in 2021, followed by North America and Europe. The large share of this region is mainly attributed to the increasing demand for processed food products; strong growth in the food & beverage industry due to increasing urbanization, growing health awareness, and rising disposable income levels; development of the cold chain systems; government support for food processing sector; and growing demand for pet food.
