Vacuum packaging is
the process of removing air around the product and sealing that
product in an impermeable package. It extends the shelf life of any
perishable fresh food product by 4 to 5 times. The growth of bacteria
and other microorganisms is inhibited by removing the air in the
packaging that surrounds the product. After sealing the pouch, the
oxygen level inside the packaging starts depleting. This lower oxygen
level results in slower growth of bacteria and other spoilage
microorganisms, which leads to enhanced shelf life of the food
products. Generally, paper or synthetic films are used as packaging
materials. The packaging procedure involves an inner packaging
process, where the packaging material is in direct contact with the
product. These materials are selected to serve specific purposes,
such as protection from microbes, maintain ambient temperature of
packaged products (largely food) and also for aesthetic appeal in
certain cases. Flexibility, light weight, mechanical strength, easy
recycling, being odorless and hygienic, resistance to oil and fats,
sealing capability, resistance to hot and cold temperatures, good
barrier properties against gases, and low-cost are some of the
must-have properties of packaging materials. Cellulose, which is not
a synthetic but a natural material derived from wood, was widely used
in the form of transparent films, earlier. Synthetic materials used
for vacuum packaging are Polyethylene (PE), Polyvinylidenchloride
(PVDC), Polypropylene (PP), Polyvinylchloride (PVC), Polyester (PET),
and Polyamide (PA). Vacuum packaging finds wide applications in food,
pharmaceuticals, and industrial and consumer goods. Besides, the rise
in technological innovation in the packaging industry is further
boosting growth of the Vacuum
Packaging
Material
Market
currently. The vacuum packaging material industry is expected to
expand in parallel with the packaging industry. The packaging
industry in developed countries is well established. Meanwhile, the
market in emerging countries such as India and China is growing at a
rapid rate. This growth is attributed to the fact that there is
growing demand for hygienic, ecofriendly, and economical packaging
forms in these countries.
Growing healthcare
awareness among consumers globally is a major growth driver for the
vacuum packaging market currently. Besides, rising demand for
sustainability and hygienic, ecofriendly, and economical packaging
forms is also among the major factors boosting growth of the global
packaging industry currently, in turn fueling growth of the global
vacuum packaging material market. Also, the global economic condition
has a great influence on this industry. The increasing consumer
preference for convenience and growing demand for facilitating brand
enhancement and differentiation in the highly competitive environment
are among the other drivers for the vacuum packaging material
industry currently. Rise in environmental concerns have forced the
governments in Europe to take strict regulatory steps for dealing
with packaging material waste and recycling. Imposition of
challenging targets for recycling packaging waste is a major
restraint for growth of the packaging materials market currently.
The vacuum packaging
materials market is segmented based on material type and application.
Based on type, the vacuum packaging materials market is broadly
classified into Polyethylene (PE), Polyvinylidenchloride (PVDC),
Polypropylene (PP), Polyvinylchloride (PVC), Polyester (PET), and
Polyamide (PA). PET garners a strong demand from the food and
beverages industry in terms of packaging. Based on application, the
vacuum packaging material market is segmented into food and
beverages, pharmaceuticals, industrial use, and consumer use.
