What is the Future of the Breathable Lidding Film Packaging Industry?

Key trends influencing the breathable lidding film packaging industry

Growing demand for fresh produce

The need for making fresh produce last long is the key driver for the sales of the breathable lidding film packaging sector. With the increasing population and decreasing cultivation area, the need for protecting fresh produce to last long provide significant opportunities for the lidding film packaging market in the future.

Proliferation of modern eateries

The increasing penetration of modern retail outlets in the APEJ region is another factor driving the market. With the increasing influence of Western culture, the lifestyle of the eastern countries is changing which is driving the demand for packed food while influencing the breathable lidding film packaging business.

Export of packaged Food

Adoption of an extensive variety of cuisines, such as Japanese, Indian, Mexican, Chinese, and Spanish. Therefore, consumers are gradually opting for packaged food for a different cuisine experience, furthering the sales of food service outlets, thus burgeoning the demand for breathable lidding film packaging in the region.

Limitation of the Product

Breathable lidding films are unable to protect the products from chemicals and physical damage from the external environment. Such disadvantages are key limitations for the breathable lidding film packaging sector in the high-end products sector.

Minimizing Plastic Wastage

Moreover, the incidence of plastic bans in several countries is likely to restrict the market expansion of breathable lidding film packaging. Despite these restraints, and the ability to increase the shelf life of the products with breathable lidding film, the market is expected to grow vertically upwards.

What is the Position of North American Countries?

North America is the second-leading region, accounting for nearly 29% share of the market in 2022.

The market growth is attributed to the swelling need for consumer goods and packaged food and the availability of supermarkets and hypermarkets in the region. The United States and Canada are key contributors to the regional market.

The United States is home to a diverse global population with high demand for different types of packaged food. The need for making fresh produce last long has provided the far-reaching impetus to innovations in breathable lidding films. In the United States, half of the fresh produce is wasted due to the short shelf life of the fresh produce.
