Japan’s polypropylene packaging films market with its exponential growth in 2023. Japan now aims to increase and enhance its in-demand applications of polypropylene packaging films, like electronics and food, and beverages. Polypropylene films hold major packaging with their advanced solutions and improved quality to secure items from external damage, mainly food items. The demand and usage rate of polypropylene films in packaging food products will increase sales in Japan. The awareness and change supporting environmental protection have generated a growing need and demand for environmentally friendly products. Contributing to the clean energy initiative with the help of the Japanese government's implementation of measures to reduce plastic waste and regulations, to which single-use plastic contributes, to achieve sustainable growth and development of the packaging products. To meet the standards of packaging, various materials are manufactured with properties like aluminum foil, PET films, and polyethylene films. It is known as multi-layer packaging. It is not recyclable due to its multiple materials. A solution to this is new mono-material packaging films made of polypropylene. The films deliver a high gas barrier property and smooth, effective processing. This accelerates international safety measures of packaging materials. This film is recyclable and does not release harmful gases during the recycling and incarnating process. The recyclable packaging will be more approachable, helping expand the market across Japan.

Temperature-resistant food packaging films to create a Growth Opportunity

The food packaging sector needs more high-gas barrier films due to the long-term storage nature of products. Due to the usage of strong materials makes this film non-recyclable. The efforts to achieve technological development are working on producing recyclable and temperature-resistant films to make them more capable of withstanding and countering applications in food packaging. This will help the market to expand.

Toray industries developed BOPP film Torayfan in August 2022 with the merged technology of BOPP film structure created via xev capacitor applications with barrier layer processing. The film delivers excellent gas barrier properties in compare to regular metalized film with equivalent of water vapor transmission and oxygen transmission rate. The new film introduced by the company delivers upgradable heat resistance of more than 25 degree Celsius. Japan’s polypropylene packaging films market is categorized by types, defined formulation, measured thickness, with several applications.

Impact and Future

Japan’s progress is commendable in packaging market. The impact clearly complements country’s efforts and confidence towards the achievement of Polypropylene packaging films idea. This will interest market brands and consumers. The future of this market is promising growth and contribution to other environmental aspects. The encouragement to achieve and win the market race with the support of government makes Japan’s polypropylene packaging films market a strong competitor.
