Thursday 8 August 2013, Amsterdam

Global Modified & Controlled Atmosphere Packaging (MAP & CAP) Market 2013-2023 is the  new MAP & CAP packaging report. Although recent economic turmoil has affected many industries worldwide, the MAP & CAP industry continue to stay robust and in many countries is expected to show a strong performance. Developed nations are experiencing a saturated state at the moment, regarding MAP & CAP, but this can be seen as a great opportunity for many companies to introduce sophisticated, value-added new product developments. In emerging economies, however, a progressive growth rate is expected. The new report calculates that the global MAP & CAP packaging market will reach US$10.80bn in 2013.

Many countries in the Western developed world are experiencing recession at the moment. Changing consumer behaviour, like opting for cheaper product options is expected to make an impact on MAP & CAP development there. However, this can be offset by the developing nations, like China or India. Surging domestic demand in countries like this will underpin strong MAP & CAP growth in those regions. Analysis expect that these countries will be the main driving factors in MAP development, as consistent increase in preference and demand for MAP packaged foods among the population in developing regions will support MAP & CAP expansion there.

The emerging economies, which in total maintained positive growth during the economic crisis, will continue to register strong MAP market growth, due to their rising incomes, changing lifestyles and favourable demographics. Developing economies are changing at a very fast rate and this key factor will play an important role in shaping MAP & CAP growth in the foreseeable future. Demand for traditional and cheaper food packaging materials, like paper will see a relative decrease over time in favour of more MAP innovative options.

Analysis expect food to remain the largest MAP & CAP submarket over the forecast period of 2013-2023. With many developing nations finding themselves in warm climatic regions and their agricultural sectors producing fruit, veg and meat products for an ever increasing number of populace, MAP will be more and more regarded as the most favourable choice of packaging technique, since it retains freshness and appearance of the produce for longer.
