Fresh Food Packaging Market, By Material (Plastic (Rigid & Flexible), Textile, Wood, Paper and Board, Metal, and Others), By Pack Type (Converted Roll Stock, Gusseted Bags, Flexible Paper, Corrugated Box), By Application (Meat Products, Vegetables, Seafood, and Fruits), – By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa) – Market Trends, Analysis, and Forecast Till 2034

Food packaging plays an important role in keeping the food quality safe while handling and transportation.  Food packaging offers a modern marketing medium to the sellers and helps improve customer satisfaction levels as well as information transmission. It protects the food products from contamination caused by microorganisms, air, and moisture, and helps catalytic activity in fresh food.  Fresh foods, such as vegetable and fruits, are generally packed in textile bags, corrugated box, or baskets made up of wood or cardboard with a view to maintain proper aeration through packaging. Seafood and meat is generally packed with polyethylene lined or polystyrene in boxes made up of plastic or wood, and the thickness of the packaging depends on the mode of transport and storage period. Fresh beverages, such as milk and juice, are mostly packed in cartons made up of paper or metal. Mostly, consumers tend to focus more on using food contact materials approved by the government-authorized bodies, such as FDA. The most commonly used plastic materials are polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyethylene terephthalate. Researchers and manufacturers are trying to modify conventional plastic and innovates new materials for ensuring and maintaining safe and hygienic food packaging practices. The fresh food packaging market accounted for US$ 147.7 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.0%.

Impact of COVID19 Pandemic on Market

The fresh food packaging market is expected to witness a moderate increase in its growth rate in this year, as the fresh food packaging used for meat products and seafood will witness a significant inclined in its demand. However, there will be an increase in the demand for fresh food packaging in the fruits and vegetables applications during COVID-19. People are resorting to panic-buying and bulk stocking due to the fear of lockdowns. More people are ordering daily staples and fresh food through online channels, which leads to an increase in the demand for fresh food packaging.

Rising demand for fresh packaged and labelled food with no tampering to the products has led to a significant rise in the market of Global Fresh Food Packaging Market. Evolving life style of consumers, increasing health and environmental awareness, and supportive environmental policies implemented by various governments across the globe are the major factors responsible for the increasing global demand for fresh food packaging. Convenience features such as easy opening, portability, and single-use packaging drive food packaging innovation for processed foods. Visual appeal and convenience are the two aspects that drive the growth of the food packaging market. Increase in disposable income of the world has led to a rise in the demand for better quality, fresh food products which show well for the future of the industry. The main growth drivers for the market are private consumers, retailers, and local packaging firms, which focus more on delivering the product intact in the local market.

However, presence of big and small retailers and increasing consumer preference for using cheap local products has created a highly competitive environment for big brands in the fresh food packaging market. Waste disposition is also a major concern for players operating in the global fresh food packaging market.

 

The global fresh food packaging market is segmented based on the material, pack type, application and region. Base on the material, the global market is segmented into plastic (rigid & flexible), textile, wood, paper and board, metal, and others. 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. On the basis of pack type the target market is segmented into converted roll stock, gusseted bags, flexible paper, and corrugated box. 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.

Depending upon application, the fresh food packaging market is segmented into meat products, vegetables, seafood, and fruits. The meat products segment shares the highest growth in the market during the coming years. The aim of any packaging system for fresh muscle foods is to prevent or delay undesirable changes in appearance, flavor, odor, and texture. 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.
