Grease Barrier Market: Growth Outlook, Key Drivers, and Forecast (2024-2035) with a 5.1% CAGR

​The grease barrier market has been experiencing notable growth, driven by the escalating demand for effective packaging solutions that prevent oil and grease migration, particularly in the food industry. In 2024, the global grease barrier market was valued at approximately US$ 901 million and is projected to reach US$ 1,559 million by 2035, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% during the forecast period. ​

Market Development

The market's expansion is largely attributed to the increasing need for sustainable and efficient packaging, especially in the food and beverage sector. Advancements in technology have enabled the production of grease barriers that are more effective and environmentally friendly. For instance, in May 2023, BASF expanded its ecovio® portfolio by introducing a certified compostable grade suitable for both home and industrial use in cold and hot food packaging. This new grade, ecovio® 70 PS14H6, is approved for food contact and exhibits excellent barrier properties against liquids, fats, grease, and mineral oil, with temperature stability up to 100°C. ​
