Packaging laminates are set to be extensively used in the food industry. Continuous expansion of the food industry is likely to be driven by increasing consumption of packaged food, which is contributing to market growth.
Food packaging laminated films serve different purposes. The packaging improves the strength of the material and makes it highly resistant to tear & external damage. Packaging laminates also protect the packaged products during shipping and distribution processes. These are anticipated to help protect several food products against external factors and maintain freshness & aroma.
The flexible packaging industry is projected to experience high demand in the forecast period, which is further contributing to increasing packaging laminate sales.
Foil laminated pouches are made of composite materials, which are helpful in cases where a single material cannot fulfill the purpose of protection for a long period.
Laminated aluminum foil packaging solutions with two or more layers are gaining momentum as these provide better performance and are ideal for packaging sensitive materials.
There are different types of lamination films available in the market, such as cold lamination films, thermal lamination films, BOPP lamination films, and PET lamination films. Key companies are launching novel types, which are influencing the packaging laminate market.
Increasing Use of Flexible Packaging Solutions in End-use Industries
Conventionally, consumers prefer rigid packaging solutions that have high barrier properties and reliability. Glass and metal are the most commonly used materials in rigid packaging.
They are known for their high barrier properties, irrespective of shelf-life requirements.
Such types of packaging are prone to breakage and corrosion. As the packaging industry evolved, packaging manufacturers started incorporating these characteristics in flexible packaging formats.
Leading packaging manufacturers have already shifted their focus toward flexible laminated packaging pouches owing to their lightweight, flexibility, and durability benefits.
Increasing investments in research & development activities by packaging manufacturers are set to result in the creation of new flexible packaging solutions. These are likely to provide longer shelf life and convenient user experience to consumers.
Laminated cardboard packaging solutions are frequently used to design and manufacture a wide range of flexible packaging applications. These are expected to find usage in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics & personal care.
Use of laminated poly pouches is limited to packing and storing a variety of food and non-food products, as these provide excellent oxygen and moisture barriers along with long shelf life.
Rising adoption of flexible packaging solutions in these industries to ensure the best protection for items contributes to significant growth in the market.
Emergence of Innovative and Convenience-oriented Solutions for Consumer Goods
Laminated food packaging solutions offer a broad range of packaging as well as wrapping color options with different barrier and sealing properties. These properties not only provide flexibility in design but also enhance product safety and visibility compared to others.
The glossy, shiny look of laminated foil packaging enhances the marketing impact of the packaging of products. Also, it has high shelf attractiveness due to its distinct metallic and glossy finish, which offers the opportunity to make brands stand out.
Compared to conventional rigid packaging solutions, flexible packaging solutions made from packaging laminates can be converted into versatile end products with customizable add-on features.
Consumer convenience is one of the most important attributes of flexible packaging from the end consumers’ point of view. However, brand visibility, attractive packaging, and shelf life are some of the priorities for brand owners.
It has been found in individual surveys that consumers are willing to pay more for additional features such as ‘easy to store,’ ‘easy to open,’ and ‘ability to extend product life.’ These factors are expected to escalate growth of the global packaging laminate market during the assessment period.
