Report Overview
The Global Food Packaging Market was valued at USD 358.3 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 592.8 billion at a CAGR of 5.3% between 2023 and 2032. Convenience food products are expected to see an increase in demand as people adopt healthier eating and lifestyle choices, which will positively impact the industry’s demand.
It is anticipated that convenience and the use of high-performance materials will contribute to the industry’s expansion. The industry is expected to expand as a result of increased efficiency in preventing content contamination and longer shelf life. The industry’s expansion is also helped by factors like an expanding population, rising disposable income, and shrinking households.
Driving Factors:
Investing in R&D Contributes to an Extension of Food Shelf Life
Packaged food takes time to reach consumers around the world. It is possible that the packaged food is not fresh or may have lost its taste and smell by the time it reaches consumers. Food spoilage is a higher risk than food preservation. To combat this, the food processing industry invests heavily in new packaging technologies and techniques, such as engineering science, intelligent packaging, and other innovative packaging methods.
This extends the product’s shelf-life. Businesses place a high priority on customer satisfaction, as it can affect their market value and reputation. Cardboard is the most easily recyclable packaging material. It is followed by plastic, metal, and glass. Consumer preference for products with a longer shelf-life is increasing due to rising health awareness and increased awareness of the importance of fresh food.
There has been an increasing demand for fast food items in today’s society as a result of consumers’ fast-paced lifestyles. Convenience food manufacturers have developed products that have a higher nutritional value and fewer negative effects on the body as a result of this high demand. The market’s expansion is aided by the fact that the high demand for convenience foods directly drives up the demand for food packaging.
Restraining Factors:
Rapid Changing Technologies and Rising Cost of Raw Materials Hamper Market Growth
Plastic is one of the main raw materials used in food packaging. Plastic Packaging is made from synthetic polymers such as polypropylene or polyethylene that are produced from natural resources. The changing cost of raw materials is impacting the packaging industry. These raw materials are also becoming more expensive due to the resource conservation laws that the government and other groups have enacted.
This is preventing the market from expanding. The lack of readily available raw materials is a barrier to technological innovation in packaging solutions. Due to rising raw material costs, many innovative packaging technologies are becoming prohibitively expensive. Businesses are forced to use conventional packaging, which has negative impacts on the economy as well as the environment.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis:
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is less on the global food market than other manufacturing industries, as the food industry is considered vital by all countries. The continuing pandemic is expected to benefit flexible packaging companies that supply packaged food industries. Changes in consumer demand patterns, government policies, and hoarding are driving demand for packaged food.
Many customers from developing countries like India switched to packaged food due to the increased risk of food poisoning during the pandemic. The pandemic saw a rise in domestic packaged food sales as well as flexible packaging for packaged foods due to the rapid growth rate of e-commerce.
Global market expansion is being held back by trade barriers and supply chain disruptions. Market growth will be boosted by the mitigation strategies of packaging providers and relief packages offered by regional governments to aid the economy.
Type Analysis:
Based on product, the food packaging market can be divided into three segments: rigid, semi-rigid, and flexible. Because of its greater use in vegetables, fruits, or other easily crushed food products, rigid packaging holds the largest market share. Industry demand will be boosted by changes in consumer habits and increased consumption of bread, sausages, and other snacks, especially in China, India, and Germany. The market size may be boosted by the emergence of innovative food retail outlets.
Plastics and cardboard make up semi-rigid packaging, which is mostly used to protect food products from humid, rotting, and harsh environments. These materials are mostly used for microwaveable applications and are lightweight, resistant to shock, corrosive, and heat-sealable.
Material Analysis:
This market can be divided into four segments based on material: glass, metals, paper, and plastics. The paper & board segment has the largest market share. It is recyclable and environmentally friendly, versatile, and produces fewer carbon emissions. This makes it suitable for use in food packaging. The market is driven by the increasing use of paper in packaging various food items, fresh vegetables, and beverages.
Glass bottles can be used to store and package food products for long periods of time or for reuse. Glass is widely used and is GRAS-certified (US FDA) because it is 100% recyclable. Glass is widely used and is GRAS-certified (US FDA) because it is 100% recyclable. Glass packaging is growing in demand for milk and dairy products because of its non-reactive and recyclable properties. This will likely result in a significant increase in market size.
Application Analysis:
In 2021, the segment with the highest revenue share—more than 25.0%—was bakery and confectionery. To increase the shelf life of bakery and confectionery items, high moisture barrier packaging is typically used. Due to its advantages over paper cartons and tins, such as printability, lightweight, as well as cost-effectiveness, flexible packaging is frequently utilized for the aforementioned application. Additionally, the segment growth is anticipated to be aided by the confectionary products’ attractive packaging.
Over the course of the projection period, growth is anticipated in the bakery and confectionery segment. Bakery products that are prepared or ready to eat are a common choice for dual-earner households and students due to the ease they offer. As a result, the bakery and confectionery market is anticipated to rise due to the rising acceptability of packaged foods.
