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 this market to some extent.
Sales of processed, canned, and frozen foods are rising as many consumers move away from fresh foods. Usually, the increasingly busy lifestyle of consumers and the consequent demand for convenient food packaging is driving the demand for barrier films. These high barrier films help to increase the product life and reduce the usage of preservatives. Barrier films also act as a printing substrate, which further provides aesthetic appeal to the product. As consumers become more aware of the impact their behavior has on the environment, they are increasingly interested in concrete ways to reduce their footprint. Now more than ever, consumers seek to purchase products that reflect their values and are sourced, produced, and packaged as sustainably as possible. Shelf life longevity is the key factor consumers are considering in recent years.
COVID-19 has also escalated the demand for longer shelf-life products. UAE-headquartered fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) firm Truebell has seen demand for long shelf-life products go up three folds due to the pandemic. According to Truebell, the company has seen an increase in the popularity of long-shelf-life food products and baking ingredients, increased consumption of home-cooked meals, more residents shopping locally, and rising interest in online food tutorials. In March 2020, Truebell witnessed a 300% increase in the demand for long shelf-life products. Consumers concerned about sustainable consumption welcome opportunities to purchase foods that offer a longer shelf life, and retailers are well-positioned to play a role in offering more sustainable solutions.
Nowadays, the food & beverage industry is transferring from traditional packaging formats to lightweight and easy-to-transport packaging. Barrier films help cater to this demand as they are lightweight compared to rigid packaging and eliminate the use of glass and cans, which increase the weight of the packaging. In addition, the barrier film works to efficiently block oxygen transmission and water vapor from contacting sensitive foods. All these factors are expected to drive the growth of the high barrier films market for food packaging across the globe.
Impact of COVID-19 on the High Barrier Films Market for Food Packaging
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted all sectors, including the packaging industry. It has a negative impact on the packaging barrier films market, as the supply chain is disrupted and production has taken a hit with less workforce. Usually, stay-at-home directives in many countries have resulted in no production and have restrained demand for packaging as the sale of consumer goods has dipped. In addition, the fluctuating economic conditions and exchange rates also are affecting the cost of raw materials. Thus, the high impact of coronavirus on the food and beverage industry and food packaging industry somehow limits demand for high barrier films.

However, with many people buying groceries online amidst the pandemic, new habits could also form, with COVID-19 accelerating the take-up of food e-commerce. As a result, E-commerce is expected to continue expanding share over traditional retail channels. This results in rising demand for smart packaging, including high barrier films, and further accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia is focusing on digital marketing and E-commerce to recover from huge revenue, and profit drops during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. In 2021, the demand for packaging barrier films is expected to gain momentum as the demand for frozen food and other food items with a longer shelf life is expected. In addition, the growing demand for food safety will drive a significant chunk of sales of packaging barrier films in 2021.
