  • Increasing demand for transparent and lightweight packaging solutions, particularly for electronic devices such as laptops and mobiles as well as food products like fruits, vegetables, and processed foods, will fuel the market growth.
  • Due to their improved shelf life, ability to maintain food quality, and availability of cost-effective packaging materials, electron high barrier packaging films are in high demand in hypermarkets and retail supermarkets.
  • According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global meat consumption per capita in 2028 will be 35.2 kilograms, rising from 34.3 kilograms in 2019. This surging demand for meat across the globe is propelling the use of polyethylene, a high-performing barrier film.
  • Demand from the pharmaceutical industry is also rising, attributed to the need for high levels of protection. Due to their durability, flexibility, and lightweight properties, high-barrier packaging films have found wide use in the healthcare sector.
  • Polypropylene is used primarily because they protect pharmaceutical products against oxygen and odor, water vapor transmission, moisture, bacteria, and other contaminants. These properties make polypropylene a perfect material for high-barrier blister packaging. These films have a high melting point, which makes them suitable for sterilizable items and boilable packages.

Regional Outlook of Electronic High Barrier Packaging Market Expansion

  • Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market, accumulating a 41% market share. The region will also witness a CAGR of 5.5% from 2023-2033. Growth is attributed to the continuing trend of consumerism in highly populated areas such as China and India.
  • According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the pharmaceutical industry in India will grow by 232%, and China will see an increase of over 230% between 2017 and 2030. Thus, these advancing trends in the pharmaceutical industry would help fuel the demand for various high-barrier packaging products such as blister base films.
  • North America is projected to grow with a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the rising demand for packaged food and consumer products. Furthermore, increasing production and demand for milk and other beverages is also expected to augment the product demand in the forthcoming period.
