According to the MRFR analysis, the Global Active and Intelligent Packaging market size is projected to reach USD 51,239.39 million by 2030 at a CAGR of 9.03%.
Active packaging is the inclusion of certain additives into the packaging systems with the objective of maintaining the product quality and shelf life of any product. Intelligent packaging systems monitor the condition of packaged food items, providing information about the quality of packaged food during transport and storage. Thus, the use of active & intelligent packaging helps extend shelf life, monitor freshness, display information on quality, and improve safety and convenience. Active & intelligent packaging is used in food, pharmaceutical, and several other types of products. The growth is driven by factors such as the growth of the packaged food industry and the increasing use of active and intelligent packaging in convenience stores. However, stringent government norms against plastic packaging are expected to hinder the market growth in the coming years.
The rapidly increasing population, rising standard of living, and growing urbanization have created a high demand for packaged and ready-to-eat food products. The increase in per capita disposable income has increased discretionary spending in developing countries. Globally, the number of convenience stores is growing continuously due to the rising population density, convenient purchasing, personalized services, availability of both branded and non-branded products, and close tie-ups with nearby communities. Thus, the adoption of wireless and connected technologies offering enhanced consumer experience and increased shelf-life drives the demand for active and intelligent packaging in convenience stores. The increasing consumption of fresh foods and the growing need for product monitoring leads to the increasing adoption of active and intelligent packaging for products in convenience stores, which is driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The rising percentage of plastics in solid waste streams creates several environmental challenges. Thus, the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration), the EU, and other government regulatory organizations are imposing stringent regulations regarding the use of plastic and other food contact materials to enhance food safety and inform consumers about the contents. Stringent government regulations regarding VCIs and other harmful packaging components used for packaging edibles items are expected to limit the use of active packaging. Thus, the government norms against plastic packaging are expected to restrain the growth of the global active and intelligent packaging market during the forecast period.
Lithium Printed electronics are used to manufacture intelligent packaging to directly communicate with the customer and build a connection with the brand offering the food or beverage. Many companies are promoting the adoption of printed electronics for producing intelligent packaging. For instance, in January 2016, Jones Packaging Incorporated with Thin Film Electronics ASA (ThinFilm), a printed electronics company, to develop printed electronic solutions for pharmaceutical products. Through this partnership, ThinFilm’s NFC OpenSense technology was integrated into paperboard pharma packaging. Such advancements in printed electronics help lower packaging costs and are expected to create an opportunity for the players operating in the global active and intelligent packaging market during the forecast period.
The raw material suppliers in the active and intelligent packaging market are the suppliers of various types of polyesters and other packaging materials, required for the manufacturing of packaging components. The raw material suppliers in the market are Nexeo Plastics, Chroma Color Corporation, LTL Colour Compounders, Inc., Anchor Down Enterprise LLC, Asuka-Platech and AAA Plastics, Inc. and others. The packaging solutions providers in the market use raw materials to design and develop their own unique packaging solutions to cater to a range of packaging scenarios. The solution providers or the manufacturers use raw materials to develop packaging solutions that enhance the shelf life of products in application areas such as food, beverages, cosmetics, and personal care materials.
The resellers and distributors help the active and intelligent packaging solution manufacturers in promotion, marketing, and sales of packaging products. Resellers are an essential and viable component of any sales strategy that helps organizations sell their products over a wide territorial range. Packaging solutions are used across various industry verticals such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemical, retail & e-commerce, semiconductors, and electronics. In the food and beverage industry vertical, packaging solutions such as PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) containers and other shelf life enhancing additives are used to keep the commodities fresh. In the pharmaceutical industry, various stabilizers and antioxidants are used to maintain the quality of medicines and prevent their contamination. Apart from these, the packaging solutions are also used in the retail & e-commerce industry vertical on a wide scale to efficiently pack different items such as clothes, electronics, food items, and cosmetics.
On the basis of technology type, the global market has been segmented as oxygen scavenger, moisture absorber, shelf life sensing, time-temperature indicator, and others. Oxygen Scavengers accounted for the largest market share and it is expected to dominate the market again during the forecast period. The purpose of oxygen scavenger is to limit the amount of oxygen that could lead to deteriorative reactions and reduced functionality of various types of products, such as food, metals, and pharmaceuticals.
On the basis of application, the global market has been segmented into food & beverages, healthcare, pharmaceutical, personal care, and others. Food & beverage is one of the largest markets for active and intelligent packaging. Food & Beverages accounted for the largest market share and the segment is expected to dominate during the forecast period.
