FMI predicts that packaging is essential to protect the product during shipment from potential damage due to the external environment. Metallized polyester films are increasingly gaining traction for imparting high barrier properties to laminated flexible packaging structures. However, it has been often experienced that poor adhesion of metal with the base polyester film can result in laminate failure, thereby decreasing product performance.
There has been an increasing demand for cost-effective films with high metal adhesion for superior barrier applications in harsh environments. However, the solutions that are currently available in the market are limited and costly.
To remedy this problem, the market players have been engineering advanced films, which are either untreated or corona treated on the other surface, while metallization is carried out on the specially treated composite surface imparting metal adhesion or bond strength of > 1200 gram-force/inch.
A report from Future Market Insights suggests that packaging is essential to protect the product during shipment from potential damage due to the external environment. There are many types of packaging methods adopted by the industry, and one of such methods utilizes metalized flexible packaging material owing to its many benefits.
The metalized flexible packaging is used to make pouches, bags, roll stocks, and wraps. In addition to this, some prominent end-use industries are pharmaceuticals, personal care, food and beverages, pet food and others.Moreover, metalized flexible packaging is relatively newer advancement in packaging technology.
Major players in the metalized flexible packaging industry adopt advanced methods to increase the productivity of their products to sustain the competition in the metalized flexible packaging market.
The solution to problems posed by packaging material being permeable to certain gases is the metalized barrier film packaging. It prevents external atmosphere to influence packaging from the inside. In addition, the metal barrier films are more efficient in insulating products. They are cheaper than other types.
According to the National Investment Promotion & Facilitation Agency, the domestic pharmaceuticals market turnover reached USD 18.12 billion in 2018, up 9.4% from 2017, growing as penetration of health insurance and pharmacies rise. The increasing pharmaceuticals production in the region is significantly driving the growth of the barrier film market in the region.
The market increment will be in sync with increase for non-reactive packaging options that can reduce the use of preservatives, especially in the food and beverages industry. Other industry that would drive growth is personal care, with market worth around USD 1200 by 2021.

All forms of flexible packaging has a drawback of permeability wherein at some level they allow oxygen or gasses to penetrate through the packaging. To overcome this drawback, packaging manufacturers innovated high barrier coatings to prevent the external environment from influencing the internal atmosphere of packaging.
These high barrier coatings are commonly made of metal or combination of metal and plastic to achieve barrier properties for specific or general factors such as moisture, gasses, UV rays, heat, etc.
The combination of coating is applied to various form of packaging such as pouches, bags, films, over wraps, liners, etc. Metalized barrier film provide technological advantages to the flexible packaging market as compared to rigid packaging market by making it efficient for insulating the products at lesser cost.
Metalized barrier film packaging market is sustained by the flexible packaging market. Flexible packaging market is estimated to be about USD 238 Billion and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% over the forecast period. The ability of the metalized barrier film from not letting the light, moisture to penetrate the packaging is driving the metalized barrier film packaging market.
The use of metalized barrier film offers chemical manufacturers the ability to reduce the carbon emission as the material required by the films is lesser than the rigid packaging.
Products which may get spoiled even with little moisture exposure can be stopped with the use of metalized barrier film hence metallized barrier films are efficient in raising the shelf life of the product in comparison with the other form of packaging. However, metalized barrier film is expensive than the regular films which curb out the profits of shifting to flexible packaging from rigid packaging.
The metalized barrier film are non-microwavable, which may limit the proliferation of metalized barrier film packaging market. The main property of the metalized film is its high barrier property, and the packaging industry is moving towards the non-metalized high barrier films to achieve transparent property in packaging hence hampering the metalized barrier film packaging market.
The innovations in metalized barrier film to develop new glue applied film bases for labeling and achieving transparency in packaging can provide new opportunities for metalized barrier film packaging market.
European region holds the major market share for the metalized barrier film packaging market followed by the North American market due to the manufacturing practices being aligned with the metalized barrier film packaging market.
APEJ region holds smaller portion of the metalized barrier film packaging market, but is expected to be the most buoyant region and is expected to outrun European and North American market over the forecast period. Metalized barrier film packaging market in Latin America region is expected to grow rapidly due to high growth rate in the region.
Rest of the world is expected to account for considerable share of the APEJ region.
