Global EVOH Films For Packaging Market Definition

EVOH, also known as Ethyl Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer, is a high-oxygen-barrier substance that is commonly used in perishable food packaging. Through the co-extrusion technique, it is extensively employed as a barrier film in current flexible and rigid packaging formats such as pouches, bags, and so on, to protect food items from oxygen invasion. The widespread use of EVOH barrier films moved the trend away from metalized and foil film laminations and toward co-extruded barrier films.

Through typical co-extrusion machinery, EVOH can be simply co-extruded with nearly all types of polyolefin, polyamides, and other materials. Because the material is hydrophilic, it must be dried prior to co-extrusion processing. Because EVOH resins have low adhesion properties, functionalized adhesive resins, such as tie resins, are required. Tie resins are utilized in packaging constructions to attach other polymeric materials to the EVOH material layer.

However, when used incorrectly designed and efficient extrusion packaging systems under regular processing circumstances, the EVOH material has high thermal stability. Due to its environmentally friendly and efficient properties, most manufacturers in the flexible and rigid packaging business chose EVOH as a barrier resin over conventional PVDC resins. Unlike PVDC, EVOH is free of hazardous materials such as chlorine, metals, dioxins, and other substances that might cause endocrinological problems. EVOH films have a 10,000-fold higher gas barrier than LDPE films.

Global EVOH Films For Packaging Market Overview

In recent years, EVOH for packaging has achieved significant market traction, and it is projected to maintain its dominance in the barrier film area. Most flexible and rigid packaging producers employ it to improve their products' barrier qualities and deliver differentiated product offerings to their consumers. Due to the rise of EVOH-based films on the market, demand for PVDC barrier films is dwindling. EVOH has high transparency and gloss properties, which improves the items' visual qualities and, as a result, their demand.

It is a recyclable and environmentally friendly product that creates very little harm to the environment. EVOH is used in a wide range of food packaging goods, including meatpacking, infant food packaging, personal care products, and cosmetics. The demand for EVOH for packaging will rise in tandem with the demand for end-use items. The danger of alternatives and cheaper products, which may reduce their utilization over time, is a major limitation in the EVOH for the packaging industry.

However, it is projected to maintain its market domination until alternative alternatives are introduced. The EVOH Films For Packaging Market appears to be dominated by a few significant market participants. During the forecast period, there are numerous chances for new entrants in the EVOH Films For Packaging Market. Moisture sensitivity, which increases oxygen permeability when the packaging is exposed to humidity, is one of the limiting issues preventing the growth of EVOH Films For Packaging Market. Another restrictive aspect is the availability of alternative options in the market, such as Met-PET Films and PE Lamination.

Global EVOH Films For Packaging Market: Segmentation Analysis

The Global EVOH Films For Packaging Market is segmented on the basis of Product, Application, And Geography.

EVOH Films For Packaging Market, By Product

• Blown Film
• Cast Film

Based on Product, The market is segmented into Blown Film and Cast Film. The EVOH Films For Packaging Market was dominated by Blown Film. Blown Film is a sort of packaging that is used to wrap things such as food, medication, and other necessities. When compared to paper-based materials, it provides higher protection against moisture, dust, and pollutants. Extruding polyethylene resin via a circular die aperture produces Blown Films. Melting polymer pellets under pressure in an extruder barrel with heat provided externally or internally, depending on the method used (virgin resins) or compounded resins (regrind). The Blown Film comes in a variety of thicknesses and can be customized to meet specific requirements.
