Water soluble films are widely used for unit dose packaging of detergents, agrochemicals, food ingredients, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment chemicals. These films dissolve in the water within minutes, and leaves no toxic residue in the nature after its dissolution in water. These films are manufactured from polyvinyl resins and are synonymously called PVA/PVOH films. Water soluble films are ideal for a variety of packaging applications.

Market Dynamics:

Rise in use of water soluble films or increase in applications of water soluble films, increase in use of single and unit dose packaging in various end-use industries, focus of governments on green procurement policies, and increasing applications in the powdered chemical packaging sector are major factors expected to aid in the growth of the global water soluble films market.

For instance, in August 2022, TIPA and Aquapak teamed up to develop new compostable film solutions. TIPA will incorporate Aquapak's water-soluble polymer technology with the aim of delivering high-barrier and PVDC-free compostable films for packaging. Moreover, in October 2020, Cortec Corporation announced that its patented EcoSol water soluble pouches are now being manufactured at the company's European bioplastics plant in Croatia to deliver and meet the needs of European and Asian customers.
