A thin plastic film commonly used for sealing food items in containers to preserve their freshness for a longer length of time is known as food packaging film. Food packaging film can maintain its tight fit over a container’s opening without adhesive since it sticks to many smooth surfaces and is often supplied on rolls in packages with a forefront of technology.

New York, Sept. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Food Packaging Films Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Type, By Material, By Application, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 – 2028" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06322030/?utm_source=GNW


The average piece of food packaging film is around 0.0005 inches (12.7 mm) thick. The majority of brands on store shelves today are 8, 9, or 10 m thick due to the trend of producing thinner food packaging film, especially for home use. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the material that was originally used to make the plastic wrap, is still the most widely used substance worldwide. PVC helps in keeping food fresh by having an appropriate low permeability to oxygen and water vapor.

Concerns exist regarding the penetration of plasticizers from PVC entering food. In the middle of the 20th century, pliofilm, made of several types of rubber chloride, was utilized because it could be heat-sealed. Low-density polyethylene is a typical substitute for PVC that is less expensive. It is less sticky than PVC, but this drawback can be overcome by including linear low-density polyethylene, which also boosts the tensile strength of the film.

Covid-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic caused severe damage to the economy all over the world. Various businesses witnessed a steep downfall due to the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, governments all over the world were compelled to impose lockdown in their countries, due to which, manufacturing facilities of a number of products were temporarily shut down. The outbreak of the infection also caused a significant impact on the food packaging film market. Due to the industrial closure, the production of these films was significantly hampered. In addition, due to the restrictions on imports and exports, packaged food items along with packaging films were hampered.

Market Growth Factors

Market Restraining Factors

Rising emphasis of food packagers on the reduction of packaging size

Sustainability and the reduction of resources utilized in a product’s packaging are closely related, as is the decrease of waste produced by packaging materials.
