The global antimicrobial packaging market size reached USD 8.45 billion in 2023 and is projected to hit around USD 14.39 billion by 2032 with a notable CAGR of 6.10% from 2023 to 2032. The rising surge in the packaging sector is driving the growth of the antimicrobial packaging market.
The antimicrobial packaging market is the packaging industry's platform that deals with the sale, production, and development of antimicrobial packaging materials. Antimicrobial packaging is the application of active packaging. These are specially designed for the assessment in the prevention of significant revolution of germs and bacteria in food by using antimicrobial mediators where spoilage and a bigger portion of contamination occurs. The higher use of antimicrobial packaging in food products that require minimal procedure acts are perishable and preservative-free and are the major driving factors of the market. The surge in awareness regarding the safety of the products, high adoption of the packaging to avoid the growth of microorganisms, long shelf-life of products, and consumer health are expected to drive the market growth. In addition, an increase in disposable income, changing lifestyles, increasing health consciousness, and rapid urbanization are also anticipated to enhance the market growth.
Increasing demand for packaged food to fuel the market growth
In the modern lifestyle, people do not have sufficient time to cook, so they prefer packaged food products such as ready-to-eat foods, sugar-flavored beverages, sauces, frozen meals, and instant noodles. So, the rising demand for packaged food is a major factor in boosting market growth. An antimicrobial packaging system helps to protect packaged food products from various microorganisms through physical and chemical factors. Antimicrobial packaging refers to packaging systems and materials that include antimicrobial agents, such as organic acids, enzymes, and tiny silver particles, to boost the growth of the fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms that can contaminate or spoil the food. Antimicrobial packaging can help reduce the risk of contamination and extend the shelf life of food products, which helps reduce food waste and improve food safety. These are the major factors expected to drive the demand for the antimicrobial packaging market.
However, high and fluctuating prices of antimicrobial packaging restrain the market growth. The volatility and high costs of raw materials hinder the growth of the market. The temperature determines the microorganism's growth in products, specifically medical and food products, and must be at a specific temperature to prevent contamination. Therefore, it increases focus on good hygiene and maintaining development and lack of storage at a specific temperature to restrain the market growth. In addition, the high cost related to the infrastructure and technology to produce antimicrobial packaging is a discouraging factor for the small market players. These are the factors responsible for the challenge of the demand for antimicrobial packaging in the market.
