Food packaging is used to prevent the food products from spillage and tampering, protect the contents from moisture and toxins, and retain their shape and quality. It assists in preserving the taste or quality of food items during storage and transporting them to the desired location. Food packaging also acts as a modern branding tool and marketing medium for sellers. Moreover, it conveys essential information to consumers, such as the nutritional content, expiry date, price, and origin of the packaged products.

They are also launching convenient packaging formats that are easy to carry, use and store in refrigerators, eliminating the additional hassle of transferring the contents into containers. In addition, due to the rising environmental concerns, the leading manufacturers are introducing eco-friendly and sustainable packaging options, such as thermoplastics and bio-based plastics, made using materials that can be easily recycled, reused, and renewed. Furthermore, the ongoing research and development (R&D) activities are developing anti-microbial food packaging and lightweight solutions to lower transportation costs and related emissions, which are offering lucrative opportunities to market players. Besides this, the introduction of novel packaging technologies, including active, intelligent, and bioactive packaging, that enables flexible packaging, prolongs the lifespan, improves quality, and maintains the freshness of food products has propelled the market growth. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach US$ 483.4 Billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.85% during 2022-2027.

Moreover, the leading firms are investing in research and development (R&D) operations for developing anti-microbial packaging materials to enhance the product shelf-life.
