FFS Rigid Films Market Outlook (2022 to 2032)

The FFS rigid films market is set to thrive at an average CAGR of 5.3% (2022 to 2032) while covering a market revenue of USD 24.28 Billion in 2022. The market is anticipated to hold a value of USD 40.7 Billion by 2032.

A long range of packaging applications with FFS rigid films have become easy and less complex. As packaging becomes another way of advertising and a good packaging solution can help product gain more traction, FFS rigid films are used in packing pharmaceutical goods and food items along with some hardware equipment.

Made from materials such as PE, PET, and CPP, FFS rigid films act as barriers to moisture or any other fluid. The higher adoption of FFS rigid films is attributed to their thick ad durable nature, which can carry heavy materials without any leakage. Companies now produce semi-rigid and rigid laminate films that are flexible and can be used in medical and pharmaceutical products.

These films are puncture resistant and enhance their barrier properties and processabilities. Providing convenient handling and durable product protection and storage helps the industry experiment and enhance their product’s performance, fueling the demand for FFS rigid films. These rigid films come in different variants, such as transparent, printed, or coloured.

Efficiency and Sustainability

The vendor brands now focus on creating budget-friendly packaging solutions along with taking care of the ecosystem. Higher compliance policies have led manufacturers to adopt eco-friendly materials. This also includes the adoption of a sustainable process unit that has lower emission levels along with sustainable packaging.

Higher Puncture Resistance

Due to the thick layer of PE, PET, and CPP material, the chance of leakage becomes minimum. Companies produce extra thick layers to make it look stabilized and attractive while also guarding the product from any moisture, air, and object. This thrives in sales of FFS rigid films in new regions. The thick layer doesn’t puncture around pricky objects, making it suitable for lamination or packaging solutions for pharmaceuticals goods and samples.

Lower Package Weight & Density

The reduced density has led to the lower weight of the packaging solutions, involving the large range of gauges that holds the packaging together. This makes the rigid films hold very good processability on form-fill-seal machines (FFS) - excellent deformation properties. The good cutting properties have also made this sort of packaging mainstream, fueling the demand for FFS rigid films.
