Global Barrier Films Market Report

Most of the industries face the challenge of preserving and extending the product’s shelf-life. The quality of most products deteriorates over a period of time due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Barrier Films are an effective solution to protect the product’s integrity as well as quality. They possess superior moisture and oxygen barrier properties and prevents UV and odour. Barrier Films find application in various industries such as food, pharmaceutical, electronics, agriculture, and chemical. Manufacturers are anticipated to focus on the development of sustainable and renewable Barrier Films to lower the environmental impact of packaging.

High Application of Barrier Films in Food Packaging to act as a Key Driver

Increasing usage of Barrier Films in packaging, especially in the food industry, is one of the significant reasons behind the growth of the Barrier Films market. Hectic lifestyle and growing consumer need for convenience products are likely to favour Barrier Films market growth in future. Technological advancements are also estimated to positively impact the overall Barrier Films market growth in the coming years. Additionally, spread of retail chains in the developing markets may further boost the demand for Barrier Films packaging. On the flip side, environmental concerns over usage of plastics may restrict the Barrier Films market growth to an extent.

Manufacturers to Launch Recyclable Barrier Films in the Near Future

Some of the key manufacturers functioning in the Barrier Films market are Amcor, Sealed Air, Jindal Poly Films Limited, Bemis, Klöckner Pentaplast Europe GmbH & Co., Toray Plastics Inc, KG Toppan Printing, Cosmo Films, Jindal Poly Films, Berry Global, Uflex, ProAmpac LLC, Raven Industries, Alcan Packaging, Dupont Teijin Films, Sumitomo Chemical, Honeywell International Inc., and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft.
