Cling Films Market

Market Overview:

The global cling films market size reached US$ 1.4 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1.8 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% during 2023-2028.

Cling film is a transparent plastic sheet that adheres to itself and other smooth surfaces. It is manufactured using polyethylene, polyvinylidene chloride (PVC), biaxially oriented polypropylene and polyvinylidene dichloride (PVDC). It is commonly available in cast and blow cling variants and is used for packaging edible and non-edible items. It is also widely used to keep flowers fresh, seal and secure food items, prevent freezer burns and line shelves. Cling films have high transparency, tensile strength, heat resistance and adhesive properties. In comparison to the traditionally used shrink films, cling films are more flexible and can wrap multiple products together. As a result, they are widely used across various industries, such as food and beverage, healthcare and packaging.

Cling Films Market Trends:

Significant growth in the food and beverage industry across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. Cling films are widely used to wrap food items to prevent insect, dust and microbial contamination and minimize the risks of spoilage and wastage. Additionally, the widespread utilization of polymer-based cling films for packaging is favoring the market growth. These films are widely used to improve mechanical handling properties, prevent the loss of moisture from the food and minimize lipid migration and oxygen absorption. Moreover, various product innovations, such as the development of biodegradable and compostable cling film variants, are providing a thrust to the market growth. These films are environmentally friendly and aid in decreasing carbon emission. Other factors, including the increasing product demand for frozen meat and seafood products and the launch of high gloss variants, along with the widespread product utilization to wrap medical devices, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
