Fresh Food Packaging Market Analysis

The fresh food packaging market has registered a CAGR of 6.50% in the forecast period 2021-2026. Nanotechnology, which represents the discipline of tiny materials, is ready to play a significant role in food manufacturing and packaging. Nanostructured materials are used as antimicrobial thin films, oxygen hunters, and gas-permeable composites. At the same time, nanocomposite films are employed to remove dirty air, for example, they remove carbon dioxide from food packages, so that the freshness of food can be observed by the people during its storing or conveyance.

  • Fresh food packaging is a packaging technique to prevent food from a change of state or contamination from physical, chemical, and biological sources. This helps in longer storage of the product. Affordable, convenient, and sustainable packaging materials, such as PET, paper, aluminum, and polyvinyl chloride, are experiencing increasing demand from customers, which, in turn, is increasing the packaging rate of poultry and meat products, fruits and vegetables, and dairy products.
  • New packaging technologies, such as active packaging, intelligent packaging, and engineering science, have evolved over the years, which enables flexible packaging of fresh food products.

The threat of food being spoilt before reaching the consumer is increasing, which would, in turn, result in a loss of the capital invested in the packaging.
  • As an attempt to overcome this challenge, food processing industries are investing in technologies and various new packaging techniques, such as intelligent packaging and engineering science, which help in increasing the shelf life of the product. Moreover, organizations are focusing on consumer satisfaction, apart from revenues, as it impacts the image and value in the market.
  • Increasing health consciousness and awareness regarding consuming fresh food are influencing consumers to opt for packaged products with longer shelf life. Therefore, rising demand for products with better shelf life across countries, such as the United States, is driving the market growth.
