MDO films are increasingly used for the packaging of food, dairy products, confectionery, snacks, and beverages. The expansion of food chains and changing eating bits in India, China, and ASEAN countries are expected to positively impact the market.

MDO films such as CPP films have become common packaging solutions in North America, where the demand for ready-to-eat and partially-cooked food is visibly high. The rising consumption of convenience food, besides the increasing demand for efficient packaging solutions will enable growth in the MDO films market.

MDO Films Have Impressive Prospects but Not Without Challenges

Producers of MDO films are still discovering novel market opportunities. However, some of the existing technical difficulties are withholding even a few big projects from coming of age. However, advent of new equipment could make the journey easier.

Despite all the aforementioned benefits, there isn’t enough supply of MDO film products in the market. According to experts, several types of MDO films besides a few relatively simpler ones such as monolayer stretch films are quite difficult to get right.

For instance, MDO films can be used to enhance barrier properties in EVOH and nylon, but it can also make them brittle. To mitigate these concerns, market players are looking at novel technologies and equipment to improve the flexibility of MDO films. In the past few years, a small but significant change is witnessed in the market in this regard.

Demand from Convenient Packaging in Food Sector Stoking Growth

Food sector has emerged as a highly attractive segment, accounting for a significant percentage of sales proceeds. Consumers’ inclination for convenient food has in turn made them seek convenient packaging, which includes features such as easy-to-open and are re-sealable.

The demand for customization also is at all-time high as consumers across cities and high potential markets are seemingly inclined towards ready-to-cook packaging. Their changing preference is expected to have a considerable impact on the market. The rising demand for on-the-go consumption, attributable to time constraints, is viewed as opportunity in the making for MDO films producers.

MDO films have enhanced mechanical, barrier, and optical properties, which make them ideal packaging solutions for the food sector. With dealers augmenting their portfolio as a result of solid focus on convenience for consumers, the market can expect the sales to steadily pick up over the course of the forecast tenure.

Rising Demand for Higher Shelf-Life Creating Scope for Expansion

In tandem with consumers’ needs, an increasing number of manufacturers are developing MDO films that offer robust seal performance. These films address a wide range of packaging needs besides exhibiting superior sealing functionality. These properties offer longer shelf-life to food packed inside.

A key point to note here is that a small increase in shelf life, especially in meat products, is a valuable proposition offered by the manufacturers. This also helps them in expanding their footprint.

MDO films producers often contribute towards extending shelf life of various products by offering improvements such as modified packaging, vacuum, and atmosphere and implementing novel packaging formats. As a result of similar efforts, the market today is witnessing increasing demand for diverse applications within the food sector.

For instance, these films are used in the packaging of various products such as confectioneries and bakeries, ready-to-eat and frozen foods, fruits and vegetables, and others. Sales uptick witnessed in the market also it attributable to the expansion of large retail chains in developed and high potential markets alike.

Opportunities Abound in Asia Pacific

Because Asia Pacific is home several high potential and upcoming markets it offers plenty of scope for investment. Some of the leading market players have been shifting their focus towards Asia Pacific either by collaborating or acquiring local players or buy introducing their brands via product launches.

A key point to note here is that Asia Pacific is likely to exhibit considerably high demand for flexible packaging solutions. These packaging types are increasingly replacing the conventional and rigid packaging that used non-plastic materials.

MDO films are lightweight and better durable. With latest advancements in technologies they are also improving in flexibility. Spurred by these improvements, the demand in China and India is expected to surge considerably in the coming years.

Chances of Possible Quality Degradation

Most commercial films available in the market are either mono layered or 3 layered. In the last couple of years, the demand for 5 and 7 layer barrier films has surged as well. MDO films, which can offer excellent flexibility, it requires expert operators with substantial experience to possess a feeling of the likely outcome whenever variables are changed during production or processing.

Additionally, oriented coextruded films containing polyamide or EVOH might pose challenges with regards to the maintenance of the film after orientation and their adhesive tie layer. Difference in mechanical properties of barrier layers and polyolefin films can reduce the adhesion strength post orientation. Multilayer films may also lose their elasticity and become brittle during the process.

Competition Landscape

Competition is expected to get fiercer in the global MDO films market. Because India and China have emerged as high potential pockets, conflicts between companies to grab the largest share of the pie will increase. Also the presence of several local players will fuel competition witnessed in the market.
