Breathable Films Market - By Material, By Product Type, By Technology, By Application & Forecast 2023

List of Tables

Breathable Films Market size is projected to depict over 7.8% CAGR from 2023 to 2032, driven by the increasing demand for food packaging applications.

Breathable films offer unique combination of moisture management and gas permeability properties that are instrumental in extending the shelf life of fresh produce. With consumers increasingly demanding minimally processed and longer-lasting foods, breathable films have gained considerable traction as ideal solutions. Rising usage to reduce food spoilage and waste whilst aligning with sustainability goals and economic considerations will also have positive influence on the industry growth.

The breathable films market is segmented based on material, product type, technology, application, and region.

With respect to product type, the micro-perforated breathable films market is estimated to record 6.5% CAGR between 2023 and 2032. Micro-perforated films are engineered with tiny, precise holes to allow air and moisture vapor to pass through while maintaining liquid barrier properties. They are also extensively employed in packaging applications, especially for fresh produce and food items. For instance, in December 2022, Perfo Tec, a fresh product sector modified environment packaging supplier, used laser micro-perforation technology to increase the quality and shelf life of packed fresh items. Moreover, the rising demand for sustainable packaging solutions will add to the product uptake.

On the basis of application, the breathable films market from the packaging segment is anticipated to observe 6% growth rate through 2032. This can be attributed to rising usage of the films in food packaging, pharmaceuticals, and medical products for enhanced preservation of freshness and extended shelf life of the product. In the food industry, breathable films are increasingly employed for fresh produce packaging, reducing spoilage and waste.

Moreover, industry players are focusing on upgrading their product ranges to better serve their customers, further supporting the segment growth. For instance, in April 2021, ABX Innovative Packaging Solutions expanded its operations in the Town of Macedon, Wayne County, with new and updated equipment by undertaking infrastructure improvements to accommodate the expansion of its green flexible packaging solution manufacture.

Regionally, the Asia Pacific breathable films market is expected to expand at 7% CAGR from 2023 to 2032. The presence of robust manufacturing sector, including textiles, healthcare, and food processing is surging the demand for breathable films in various applications. Additionally, the increasing focus on sustainable and eco-friendly packaging solutions is also supporting the product adoption in food packaging and agriculture, adding to the market growth.
