Global Active Packaging Market to Benefit from Technological Innovation

A recent report, titled “Active Packaging Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2016 - 2023,” from Transparency Market Research (TMR) offers the latest market intelligence. According to the report, the global active packaging market is driven primarily by the rising demand for packaged food. The food industry is one of the major consumers of active packaging materials.

The global active packaging market is also driven by the increasing inclination of consumers towards ready-to-eat and packaged foods. This trend is projected to continue to gain momentum in the coming few years. Moreover, packaged and chopped fruits and vegetables call for active packaging on a large scale, as they tend to release gases within the packaging of the item.

Nevertheless, the global active packaging market is held back by the high cost associated with active packaging. Incorporating active packaging materials such as sorbents in packages of foods is expensive. On the other hand, technologies such as nanomaterials and biosensors used to detect the accumulation of gases within packaged foods are projected to open new areas of opportunities for the market in the foreseeable future.

Some of the methods used in active packaging are oxygen scavenging, ethanol release, ethylene scavenging, water vapor removal, and carbon dioxide release. Certain foods such as fresh farm produce and poultry tend to be biologically active and release certain gases during their metabolism stage. These gases accumulate within the headspace of the food package and lead to deterioration of the food. Hence, scavengers are needed to absorb these gases and liquids collecting within the headspace of packaged food to avoid spoiling of the food.

Active packaging can either be in the form of absorbent sachets or incorporated within the packaging material. The latter method is expensive, but it is being explored on a large scale by providers of contemporary packaging materials. Active packaging can also be designed to control humidity, absorb gases, absorb dripping liquids, maintain the right concentration of gases and moisture, and absorb odors.

Regionally, the global active packaging market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa (MENA), and Latin America. The global active packaging market is dominated by developed regions such as North America and Europe. On the other hand, regions such as Asia Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW) are nascent markets for active packaging materials. The demand for active packaging materials is projected to rise due to technological advancement, making these materials affordable.

Players in the global active packaging market are innovating advanced active packaging materials. For instance, advanced versions release controlled quantities of ethanol in meat and bakery products to curb microbial growth. The leading players operating in the global active packaging market are AstraZeneca, 3M, Amelco Desiccants, Active Packaging, BASF, DuPont, and Accutech Packaging.
