Modified Atmosphere Packaging Market

Market Overview:

The global modified atmosphere packaging market size reached US$ 15.1 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 21.0 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% during 2023-2028.

Modified atmosphere packaging, or MAP, refers to an advanced technique that involves adjusting or modifying the atmosphere inside a pack to preserve its contents. Some commonly used MAP technologies include gas flushing, on-package valves, scavenger or desiccant packs, and barrier packaging films. They provide optimal conditions for extending the product shelf life, ensuring the quality and freshness, and reducing oxidation and spoilage of perishable products. Moreover, they help improve manufacturing capacity and minimize waste production, labor, and costs. As a result, MAP is extensively utilized for convenience foods, bakery and confectionery, fruits and vegetables, and dairy, seafood, poultry, and meat products.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging Market Trends:

The escalating demand for convenience foods and ready-to-eat (RTE) items represents the primary factor driving the market growth. MAP techniques allow manufacturers to increase the shelf life of these products to meet the growing demand without affecting their production rate or quality. This, in confluence with the rising need for innovative packaging solutions, especially in the food and beverage (F&B) industry, is accelerating product adoption rates. Additionally, the recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has significantly increased the demand for packaged foods that can be stored for later consumption, which is encouraging manufacturers to adopt MAP techniques. Besides this, the growing consumption of on-the-go items and shifting consumer preferences toward quality, hygienic, and freshly packaged foods are augmenting the product demand. Furthermore, the implementation of stringent food safety regulations by the governing authorities of various countries is promoting the usage of MAP techniques to prevent potential health hazards. Other factors, including the increasing health consciousness among consumers, inflating disposable incomes, advancements in food packaging technology, and inclination toward convenient and easy-to-handle packaging, are also creating a favorable market outlook.
