Base Material Insights
Base materials commonly include plastics, paper board, bio polymer, and others. Other base materials commonly include non-woven fabrics, glass, and aluminum foil. Plastics accounted for more than 60% of the overall market and emerged as the leading segment in 2015. In recent years, low-density polyethylene has been used widely in antimicrobial packaging owing to its superior antibacterial and antifungal properties against some bacteria namely, Listeria innocua and Escherichia coli.
However, increasing environmental concerns regarding the use of synthetic base materials have led to an increased usage of biopolymers coatings which further, helps in prevention of moisture transfer into food products. Thus, these biopolymers are presumed to replace synthetics plastics in the future years.
Antimicrobial Agent Insights
Antimicrobial agents consist of organic acids, Bacteriocins, and others. Other antimicrobial agents consist of metal ions & oxidizers, essential oils, and enzymes. Organic acid accounted for more than 40% of the antimicrobial packaging market in 2019. Organic acid such as citric acid, lactic acid, and acetic acid helps in lowering the pH level of food and hence succeeds in suppression of microbial growth. Thus, these organic acids are mainly used in acidic food products. Sometimes prolonged exposure of these kinds may cause mild toxicological issues among human beings.
Technology Insights
The technology segment can be segregated into two types which are controlled release technology and active technology. Active technology held over 55% of the overall market in 2019. Active technological packaging helps in protecting the shelf life for food and also helps in enhancing the food quality. This system also helps to increase the stability & specificity of preservation by reducing the amount of chemicals used in food.
Pack Type Insights
Pack type consists of carton package, pouches, and others. Other pack types include trays, bags, cups & lids. Pouches accounted for more than 39% of the total antimicrobial packaging in 2019. These pouches are being used widely across different industries such as food, agricultural, personal care, and healthcare for various applications. Carton packages are widely used in the food & beverage industry. These carton bags are generally made of paper based packaging materials which prevents the microbes to get inside the food.
Application Insights
Major applications include food & beverage, healthcare, personal care, and others. Other application segment majorly consists of textile application. Food & beverage application accounted for over 45% of the overall market in 2019 and is expected to continue the same trend over the forecast period. Growing food borne diseases and rising health awareness among individuals has permitted the use of antimicrobial packaging in the food industry.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific antimicrobial packaging market led the global industry and accounted for over 40% of the total market in 2019. Growing demand for food among the youths & adults coupled wing increasing prevalence of diseases has resulted in the regional market growth. Emerging nations such as India and China are expected to make the Asia Pacific region as the fastest growing market and also bring a lot of opportunities in this field over the next eight years.
