Market Overview:

The global packaging coating additives market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.53% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

Packaging coating additives refer to customized packing substances that are combined with solvents and then applied to various packaging solutions to improve their physical, chemical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics. They involve coating, dipping, and spraying as some of the common methods used for varnishing layers of papers, cans, containers and boxes. Packaging coating additives assist in reducing surface friction, ensuring product safety, eliminating the risk of external contamination, and optimizing the manufacturing and processing performance of packages. Apart from this, they exhibit corrosion-resistance, antimicrobial and water-repellency properties, due to which they are extensively used in packaging consumer goods, medical equipment, and industrial products. At present, packaging coating additives are commercially available in water, solvent, and powder-based formulation types.

Packaging Coating Additives Market Trends:

The increasing prevalence of nosocomial infection, along with the rising consumer concerns regarding the spread of various communicable diseases, is facilitating the need for non-toxic and antimicrobial packing solutions, such as packaging coating additives, across various industrial verticals. This, along with the sudden outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is primarily driving the market growth. Moreover, the rapid expansion in the food and beverage (F&B) sector and the escalating sales of ready-to-eat (RTE) meals due to the hectic lifestyle and evolving consumer preferences have intensified the uptake of packaging coating additives to prevent food spoilage or leakage, which is supporting the market growth. Additionally, the deployment of aseptic processing in manufacturing stages and the introduction of bio-based slip additives to reduce plastic wastes are propelling the market growth. Other factors, such as the rising demand for flexible coating additives, continuous research and development (R&D) activities to enhance product performance, and the extensive use of anti-fog packaging coating additives to help maintain clarity and transparency of the packaging, are positively stimulating the market growth.
