Market Research Report Added "Active
and Modified Atmosphere Packaging Market". In the
presence of normal air, food products such as meat, poultry, fish,
fruits, vegetables, and bakery products perish quickly due to
biochemical reaction of oxygen with products, and the growth of
microorganisms, which degrade the product quality.
The biochemical
reactions or effects of microorganisms tend to change the color,
taste, texture, and smell of the product leading to overall
deterioration in the quality of product. Cold storage facilities, for
sure, slow down the undesirable changes in product quality, but do
not necessarily increase their shelf-life with regard to retail
distribution and display purposes.
In active and
modified atmosphere packaging, edible goods and food products are
packaged by bringing modification in their surrounding atmosphere by
creating vacuum, flushing the optimum amount of gases, or by
controlling permeability of the pasck from outside gases and
humidity. Thus, the primary objective of active and modified
atmosphere packaging is to avoid and reduce product degradations that
may be caused either by biochemical & enzymatic reactions or
microbial actions over the product. By this method, the preservation
of food can be done in its fresh state for a longer duration of time,
without utilizing other costly preservation techniques such as
canning, freezing, dehydration, and other processes.
The packaged food
and pre-cut produce market, though unconsolidated, is a multi-billion
dollar industry, which is experiencing high growth due to consumers’
growing interest in natural and organic products. Active and modified
atmosphere packaging plays an important role in ensuring the
freshness and quality of the products.
In view of the high
rise in consumer demand for fresh-cut organic and natural products,
demand for active and modified atmosphere packaging is expected to
grow significantly over the forecast period of 2016-2024.

Fruits and
vegetables, meat, poultry, sea food, and similar commodity products
need to be stored in their fresh state before they reach the retail
market. Sometimes, these products are transported across longer
distances, making a journey spanning several days and weeks before
they enter the retail market for their consumption. To increase their
shelf time and maintain their quality, the atmosphere in which they
are stored is altered with the help of various technologies during
packaging. Active and modified atmosphere packaging is one of the
best preserving techniques in which specific seasoning agents are
assimilated into the film polymer or within the packaging containers,
which modify the atmosphere in which the products are stored. Growing
consumer demand for natural and quality products are the major factor
fueling growth of the active and modified atmosphere packaging market
globally.
The global active
and modified atmosphere packaging market is segmented on the basis of
application, film type, gases, packaging type, and region. On the
basis of application, the global active and modified atmosphere
packaging market is segmented into fruits & vegetables, meat &
poultry products, bakery products, sea food, and others. On the basis
of film type, the global active and modified atmosphere packaging
market is segmented into Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Linear Low
Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE),
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polypropylene (PP), Polyvinylidene Chloride
(PVDC), Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH),
Polyamides (PA), cellulose based, biodegradable polymers, and others.
On the basis of gases, the global active and modified atmosphere
packaging market is segmented into oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide, and others. On the basis of packaging type, the
global active and modified atmosphere packaging market is segmented
into flexible packaging, rigid packaging, and active &
intelligent packaging.
On the basis of
regions, the global active and modified atmosphere packaging market
is segmented into seven key regions, namely North America, Latin
America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific Excluding
Japan, Japan, and the Middle East & Africa.
Some of the Key Players
in the global active and modified atmosphere packaging market include
Apio, Inc., Multivac, Linde, and R.A. Jones.
