Airless packaging, or vacuum packaging, refers to a non-pressurized dispensing system that involves removing air from the packaging of the product to prevent contamination of the contents. It consists of a diaphragm, in place of a dip tube, that rises with the pressure inside of the container when the closure is pressed down, thereby creating a vacuum to dispense the product. Airless packaging is commonly used to store fruits, vegetables, dry fruits, preservative-free cosmetics, nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical products. The packaging reduces the exposure to sunlight, air and microbes and also prevents the evaporation of volatile matter.
Significant growth in the cosmetic and skincare industries across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, increasing consumer preference for premium-range products is providing a thrust to the market growth. Premium-range cosmetic and skincare manufacturers use airless packaging to store creams, foundations and serums that contain active ingredients, which are prone to oxidation. In line with this, the widespread adoption of airless plastic packaging for food and beverages is also contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of sustainable airless packaging solutions manufactured using recyclable materials, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Product manufacturers are also launching aesthetically appealing bottles, jars and tubes and adopting aggressive promotional activities through social media platforms to attract a wider consumer base. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of the consumers, along with rapid urbanization, especially in the developing economies, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
