Competitive Landscape
The US market is characterized by intense competition among global chemical giants, specialized film manufacturers, and packaging converters.
1️⃣ Kuraray America, Inc., a subsidiary of Kuraray Co., Ltd., announced a USD 50 million expansion of its EVOH resin production capacity in Pasadena, Texas, in September 2024. This strategic move aims to increase North American supply by 20% to address growing demand from flexible packaging converters serving the US food and pharmaceutical sectors.
2️⃣ 3M Company, through its Packaging and Commercial Solutions Division, launched the "3M Barrier Film L-150" in November 2024. This new EVOH-based film is specifically engineered for medical device packaging, offering superior sterility maintenance and meeting ASTM D3985 oxygen transmission rate standards, with initial adoption by two major US medical device manufacturers.
3️⃣ Amcor plc, in partnership with the "How2Recycle" program, initiated a pilot in January 2025 for a store-drop recyclable polyolefin pouch incorporating thin-layer EVOH technology. This project, developed at Amcor's R&D facility in Neenah, Wisconsin, targets compliance with US recycling streams and has garnered interest from a leading US snack food brand.
4️⃣ Mitsubishi Chemical Group, in July 2024, completed the acquisition of a 25% stake in a US-based advanced recycling company. This investment is part of their strategy to develop circular EVOH solutions, with plans to introduce a commercial-grade chemically recycled EVOH resin for the North American market by late 2026.
5️⃣ Winpak Ltd. reported in its Q1 2025 earnings a 22% year-over-year increase in sales of high-barrier packaging films in the US, attributing the growth to heightened demand for its co-extruded, EVOH-based packaging solutions for liquid food and nutraceutical products from its facilities in Wisconsin and Texas.
Recent Developments
1. Kuraray America, Inc. presented a technical white paper at the SPE FlexPackCon in October 2024, detailing the performance of its "Soarnol" ET EVOH grade in retort applications for pet food and ready meals, demonstrating superior oxygen barrier retention after thermal processing.
2. The Dow Chemical Company and Kaiser Permanente announced a collaborative agreement in February 2025 to develop and validate EVOH-based barrier packaging for a new line of high-value, temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, aiming to enhance drug stability and reduce waste in the US healthcare supply chain.
3. Berry Global Group, Inc. announced in May 2025 that it had achieved third-party certification from the Plastic Recycling Corporation of California (PRCC) for its new all-polyethylene pouch structure with a functional EVOH barrier, confirming its compatibility with designated US PE film recycling streams.
4. Sealed Air Corporation launched its "Cryovac Brand Simple Steps" EVOH-based vacuum skin packaging in March 2025 at the Meat Conference in Nashville. The launch highlighted the film's ability to reduce material usage by 30% compared to traditional rigid trays while extending the shelf life of fresh red meat by up to 21 days.
5. Honeywell International Inc., through its Performance Materials and Technologies business, unveiled a new advanced extrusion control system in August 2024. The system utilizes AI to optimize layer distribution in co-extruded EVOH films, reportedly reducing resin use by 8% while maintaining barrier performance, with pilot installations at several US film converters.
