What Drivers Are Propelling the Growth of Plastic Based Meat Packaging Market Forward?
The growth of the market for plastic-based meat packaging is expected to be driven by the rising consumption of frozen and fresh meat products. Fresh meat products, sold chilled and without preservation as they are raw and uncooked, are distinct from frozen meat products, which are preserved by freezing to prolong shelf life and sustain quality. There is an upward trend in the consumption of fresh and frozen meat products because they offer convenience to today's consumers. They are a suitable option for busy schedules and also help reduce food wastage. Plastic-based meat packaging serves as a shield for fresh and frozen meat against moisture, oxygen, and contaminants, thus guaranteeing an extended shelf life. It keeps frozen meat from getting freezer burnt and maintains the hygiene and freshness of fresh meat during handling and storage. For example, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, a government agency based in Australia, reported in March 2025 that in 2023-24, Australians increased their consumption of meat and poultry by 2.3% compared to the previous year, with a daily per person average of 145 grams. Consequently, the rising intake of fresh and frozen meat products is propelling the growth of the plastic-based meat packaging market.

Which Fast-Growing Trends Are Poised to Disrupt the Plastic Based Meat Packaging Market?
Leading firms in the plastic-based meat packaging market are concentrating on the creation and enhancement of progressive solutions, such as environmentally sustainable meat packaging, in response to increasing customer preference for eco-friendly and biodegradable options. Sustainable meat packaging emphasizes the use of green materials and energy-saving techniques to minimize environmental damage, while also ensuring the safety, freshness, and durability of the meat, and promoting either recycling or biodegradation. For example, in September 2024, Amcor Plc, a packaging organization based in Switzerland, launched their innovative Clear-Tite 40 shrink bag designed for the packaging of both fresh and processed meats. This new packaging aims for considerable sustainability advancements by decreasing both its weight and plastic utilization. With a thickness of just 40 microns, the Clear-Tite 40 shrink bag manages a 19% decrease in weight and plastic as compared to conventional 50-micron shrink bags, without compromising the product's freshness and shelf life. This breakthrough also achieves an estimated 16% reduction in carbon emissions and provides brands an opportunity to possibly reduce their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees, representing a significant advancement toward the production of more environmentally sustainable shrink bags without sacrificing effectiveness or aesthetic appeal.
