Ethylene Absorber Market

Market Overview:

The global ethylene absorber market size reached US$ 11.0 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 43.4 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 15.98% during 2024-2032. The growing demand in the residential sector, increasing need to maintain the quality and nutrition of fruits and vegetables during transportation, and thriving packaging industry represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Ethylene absorber comprises ethylene absorbent bags, ethylene filters, absorbent ethylene pads, ethylene absorber sheet, and an ethylene environmental control system that accelerates the maturation of various fruits, vegetables, and flowers. It absorbs ethylene and other volatile organic compounds (VOC), which allow food products to mature more slowly in the warehouse. It can be embedded into paper bags or corrugated fiberboard transit packaging used for storing fruits, such as apples, kiwifruit, apricots, bananas, mangoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and avocados. It can also be incorporated as sachets into retail packs of the products to benefit the retailer and consumers. It also prevents decay, mold, discoloration, wilting, softening, scald, loss of crunch, and many other negative effects caused by ethylene gas. As it is easy to handle, readily available, and cost-effective, the demand for ethylene absorber is rising across the globe.

Ethylene Absorber Market Trends:

At present, the increasing demand for ethylene absorbers as ethylene is produced by all plants and induces fruit and vegetable ripening, softening, and deterioration, even at low concentrations represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing demand for ethylene scavengers that contains an appropriate scavenger in the package, such as potassium permanganate (KMnO4), zeolite, active carbon, and pumice, to remove ethylene is positively influencing the market. In addition, there is a rise in the utilization of ethylene absorbers to extend the shelf life of climacteric fruits, such as mangoes, apples, kiwis, bananas, and avocados, across the globe. This, along with the escalating demand for low density polyethylene (LDPE) bags comprising zeolite to maintain the quality of broccoli florets, is propelling the growth of the market. Moreover, the growing demand for ethylene absorbers in the residential sector to reduce the wastage of food due to its rapid deterioration is offering a favorable market outlook. Apart from this, there is an increase in the employment of ethylene absorbers to maintain the quality and nutrition of fruits and vegetables during transportation. This, coupled with the thriving packaging industry, is strengthening the growth of the market. Additionally, the rising post-harvest storage capacity around the world is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors.
