Key Market Insights from the report:

The global fresh food packaging market accounted for US$ 147.7 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.00% . The market report has been segmented on the basis of material, pack type, application, and region.

Depending upon material, the plastic shares the highest share in the market due to its low weight, malleability, strength, stability, processability, reusability, and resistance to chemicals and moisture. It provides leakage proof packaging, which means it does not allow water vapor to pass through it.
In terms of pack type, Converted roll stock is the most common pack type used in fresh food packaging. It provides a faster packaging process as more packages are produced per minute using roll stock on a form-fill-seal machine compared to other packaging methods. Converted roll stock reduces the cost of packaging due to the form-fill-seal machines that make bags in line continuously and reduce waste as well.
By application, the meat products segment shares the highest growth in the market during the coming years. Consumers’ rejection of the product is possible if the mentioned quality is not met. Thus, a new technical tool is introduced in the market called ‘Active and Intelligent packaging,’ which better controls the food from contamination and maintains its quality.
