On the flip side, strict government policies regarding the use of plastics and fluctuation in raw material prices are hindering the growth of the market.
Rising demand for flexible coating additives and growing trends for e-commerce in developing as well as developed countries are expected to offer ample opportunities for the growth of the market.
Asia-Pacific dominated the global market's most significant enormous consumption from countries such as China, India, and Japan.
Packaging Coating Additives Market Trends
Increasing Demand from Food and Beverages Packaging Segment.
- Packaging Materials are prone to problems such as friction and chemical stability. To improve the performance of packaging coating materials, additives are added, which increase the pH stability, make the surface frictionless, and induce anti-microbial properties to the packaged food items.
- Packaged and processed foods consumption is increasing globally owing to increasing disposable income and the hectic lifestyle of consumers, which will help stimulate the demand for packaging coatings, thus enhancing the market for packaging coating additives.
- Increasing sales of packaged and processed foods will help in increasing the demand for packaging coating additives as they help in preventing food spoiling & leakage and also help in increasing the serviceable life of packaged food items.
- Furthermore, the use of antifog packaging coating additive helps to increase the sales of packaged food items as antifog additives helps to maintain the clarity and transparency of packaged coatings, thus making food items visible to the customer.
- According to Invest India, India's burgeoning food processing sector, with an anticipated output of USD 535 billion by 2025-2026, is driving significant growth in the Indian food and beverage packaging industry, which is projected to reach USD 86 billion in 2029, fueled by an annual growth rate of 14.8%. This growth fuels the demand for packaging and coating adhesives, essential food packaging components.
- Due to the changing consumer habits, the beverage industry in the United States has noticed substantial growth. According to PMMI's Beverage Report, the North American beverage industry is expected to grow by 4.5% from 2018 to 2028. Sellers achieve the major portion of the beverage sales in North America in the United States.
