According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Barrier Materials Market Report by Type (Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC), Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH), Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN), and Others), End Use Industry (Pharmaceutical, Food and Beverage, Agriculture, Cosmetics, Automotive, and Others), and Region 2025-2033," the global barrier materials market reached a value of USD 3.3 Billion in 2024. Barrier materials are coatings and packaging solutions that are used to prevent the diffusion of gases and the permeability of liquids and radiations. These materials are usually transparent and flexible in nature and are employed in the production of thin films and sheets for food packaging. Their usage obstructs the entry of atmospheric air, thereby preserving the quality of the packaged food. Apart from being used in the food industry to improve the shelf life and thermal stability of the products, they are also utilized across other industry verticals, such as cosmetics, pharmaceutical, automotive and agriculture, for a vast array of applications.
Global Barrier Materials Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the significant growth in the food industry across the globe. This can be attributed to the escalating sales of processed, packaged and on-the-go food products majorly due to the hectic lifestyles led by the masses, along with their inflating disposable incomes and the shifting dietary patterns. Consequently, there is an increasing need for packaging solutions that prevent contamination and spoilage of these products in an efficient manner. This is further supported by the stringent regulations imposed by several government agencies, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), to extend the shelf life of consumables. Apart from this, efficient barrier materials are widely utilized in the pharmaceutical industry to prevent the spoilage or spillage of temperature-sensitive drugs. These materials offer improved scratch and abrasion resistance when compared to conventionally used packaging solutions, thereby providing an impetus to the market growth. The market is further driven by extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by the players in an attempt to introduce innovative product variants in the market. This has led to the launch of bio-based barrier materials that are recyclable, compostable and biodegradable in nature. Consequently, these materials are extensively being preferred by end users on account of the enhanced focus on sustainable development. Some of the other factors contributing to the market growth include the rising expenditure capacities of the consumers and the growing awareness regarding food safety among the masses. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach USD 4.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.5% during 2025-2033.
