"By Application, beverage is the fourth largest market share for packaging films during forecast period."
Packaging films are essential in the beverage sector, safeguarding and ensuring the longevity of a range of drinks such as carbonated beverages, fruit juices, water in bottles, and energy drinks. These films act as a strong barrier to moisture, oxygen and light thus keeping the products fresh and of their original quality. Their lightweight and flexible nature make them the best choice for transportation and storage. The use of packaging films is on the rise in single-serve and portion-controlled applications, with stand-up pouches and flexible bottles becoming more popular due to their convenience and durability. Beverage companies such as Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Nestle, and Red Bull, which are among the leading brands in the beverage sector, use packaging films not only to enhance shelf life but also to promote sustainability and product appeal to consumers who are becoming more demanding and seeking emerging trends in the industry.
"By Film, PVC account for fifth largest market share for packaging films during forecast period."
One of the main reasons why polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has made its mark in the packaging film industry is because it is sterile, biocompatibile as well as highly resistant to chemicals. Due to its easy sterilization feature, packaging films are suitable for healthcare purposes including the packaging of medical devices as well as containers of pharmaceuticals. PVC's chemical resistance property assures of its use in the chemical sector and even in industrial applications. PVC's utility goes beyond construction, agricultural and automotive industries where it is used for weather-resistant roofing, greenhouse coverings, and protective coatings, respectively. With its property of being unusual and unique as well as its adaptability, PVC is able to solidify its position as a material of choice in the packaging film industry.
"By Type, films & wraps account for fourth largest share during forecast period."
Packaging films are vital tools for the protection, bunching, and keeping of a wide range of products from different industries. They offer fundamental resistance to humidity, dust, and other external factors, thus, they are an important tool that ensures the conservation of your product both during storage and transportation. Certain varieties of films serve unique needs: a stretch film, which has a flexible quality, has been used worldwide in the transportation and storage industry to hold and stabilize the packs on pallets, hence the minimization of the harm possible along the route. When food trays are shrink-wrapped with films and the heat is applied, it forms a tight protective layer, which is the main reason for it, and this is why they are most commonly used in the beverage industry for tamper-evident packaging. Barrier materials have the most reliable moisture, oxygen, and light barriers which are necessary for longer storage periods of meat products.
Wrap packaging involving flexible films or materials shrunk around products, is the most used packaging type in food and beverage, logistics, retail, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors. The food industry makes use of the cling film wraps which are used to cling to providing quality and safety and subsequently, shrink wraps which are used to bundle beverages and snacks such as drinks are used together. In logistics, stretch wraps are essential for the stabilization of palletized goods during the transport. Shrink wraps allow retailers to secure consumer goods into a compact package that is both tamper-evident and visually appealing. Thus, wrap packaging is used for protecting construction materials and large or odd-shaped items, while healthcare wrap packaging is used to protect sensitive products from infection.
