Market Trends of High-Barrier Packaging Film Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the High-Barrier Packaging Film Market according to our research experts:
Pharmaceuticals Sector is Expected to Register a Significant Growth
- The primary packaging materials are plastic because they protect the pharmaceutical product against oxygen and odor, water vapor transmission, moisture, contamination, and bacteria. These properties make polypropylene a good choice for high-barrier blister packaging. Polypropylene high-barrier films have a high melting point, which makes them suitable for boilable packages and sterilizable products.
- Moreover, products packed in thermoforming films have higher product visibility without compromising the barrier properties of the packaging. Because these films can't be punctured, manufacturers can use them to package their products and make them easier to move.
- AptarGroup, for example, offers Activ Blister packaging.The company uses silica gel and molecular sieve technology. The outfitted blisters can absorb tailored amounts of water vapor, oxygen, or a combination of the two and can be produced in shapes and sizes to accommodate any tablet or capsule size. Aptar CSP Technologies developed Activ-Blister solutions that controlled the internal atmosphere of existing individual blister cavities, allowing for improved product performance and enhanced shelf-life.
- Furthermore, rising demand for high-quality pharmaceutical packaging is driving up demand for bags and pouches packaging, as it protects the product from external influences such as moisture, light, biological contamination, gases, and mechanical damage, all of which can degrade its quality or effectiveness.
- Further, the manufacturers must follow ISO standards, such as the ISO 9001 quality management certifications, to meet customer demands. Therefore, high-barrier films are more suitable for pharmaceutical packaging, augmenting the market.

Asia- Pacific to Witness Fastest Growth
- The Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest growth owing to the ongoing trend of consumerism in highly populated areas such as India and China. Increasing buying power and the rising working population in the region are the primary factors driving the high-barrier packaging film market in the area.
- Moreover, per the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the pharmaceutical sector in India will increase by 232%, and China will see an increase of 230% between 2017 and 2030. Therefore, advances in the pharmaceutical industry would help increase the demand for different high-barrier packaging products such as blister base films.
- Further, the vast demand for packaged foods and beverages and the critical role pouch packaging plays in keeping packaged consumables fresh for extended periods will likely boost the market in these regions. The high-barrier packaging film market in the Asia-Pacific region is likely to be driven by these important factors.
