Rising Preference for Shelf Life Enhancing Packaging Solutions Augment Demand

Manufacturers develop reclosable films with robust seal performance. Reclosable films are used to address different types of packaging needs and exhibit superior sealing functionality. The shelf life of any product is a major factor for end users and thus, the demand for reclosable films is expected to increase considerably in the upcoming years. A small increase in shelf life, especially in meat products, is a valuable proposition for the industry participants and creates significant opportunities for them to enhance their market footprint. Packaging films and implementation of packaging formats, such as modified atmosphere packaging and vacuum, enables reclosable films packaging manufacturers and retailers to extend shelf life of various products, such as bakery & confectionery, fruits & vegetables, ready-to-eat foods, frozen foods, etc. The reclosable films demand is benefiting from the growing dominance of large retail chains in developed and developing national markets, as these chains help to expand the market for packaged foods while laying emphasis on shelf life extension.

Rising Consumption of Convenience Foods Supplement Sales of Reclosable Films

One of the key factors expected to play a crucial role in the growth in demand for reclosable films is increasing demand for convenience foods in emerging economies, such as China, India, and ASEAN countries. Convenience foods, such as bakery items, confectionery & snacks, and meat & dairy products available at various food outlets have witnessed significant rise in consumption. This is expected to positively impact the growth of the reclosable films market. Furthermore, the global food & beverages market has witnessed healthy growth over the past few years, and this is projected to continue in the foreseeable years. Moreover, this remarkable market growth is not just in mature markets of North America and European countries, but also in the fast-growing and developing markets in Asian countries.

Low Puncture Resistance Hampering Demand for Reclosable Films

Reclosable films are available in the market with a variety of thickness and grade, even though they fail to provide physical protection to the product. These reclosable films are prone to tear and have low puncture resistance which in turn may affect and degrade the product quality, pack, and seal inside it. Owing to this factor, reclosable films require gentle and proper handling throughout the value chain in order to provide protective and efficient packaging solution.

Flexible Reclosable Films Replace Rigid Carton Options for Bag and Pouch Products

Reclosable films are being highly publicized for keeping the product fresh for longer time, and also ensure consumer convenience. Innovative lidding solutions bode well for growth of the reclosable films market, which is estimated to expand by 1.5x times to current market value. Top lid flexible films and rigid blisters are being used for the packaging of cheese and processes meat slices. This trend of rigid and flexible packaging is attracting investor sentiment in the reclosable films market and is playing an instrumental role in the development of attractive bags and pouches.

Resealable Stand-up Pouch Bags Highly Preferred for Candy Packaging

Stand-up pouch bags are swiftly capturing the packaging and reclosable films market, owing to its customer convenience and marketing advantages. These bags are being used as a great way to convert products into marketing vehicles in supermarkets and other retail outlets. Manufacturers are increasing their production capabilities to introduce a variety of sizes and styles in stand-up pouch bags made from reclosable films. Eillien’s Candies Inc.— a manufacturers of high-quality assortments and snacks, uses reclosable and non-reclosable pouch bags for the packaging of chocolates and dry fruits.

Front Flap Sealings Overcome Limitations of Adhesive Stickers in Pouches

Resealing of products helps in the consumption of food when individuals are on the go. This trend is very prominent for snacks and confectionary packaging to ensure that the food stays fresh. Similarly, stickers are used to reclose pasta pouches and bags. However, the adhesive force of stickers tends to eventually weaken after a certain amount of time. Hence, manufacturers in the reclosable films market are innovating in zip-top bags and pouches to overcome the limitations of adhesive stickers.

Other innovations to overcome issues of adhesive stickers are front flap sealings. Swiss Delice— a manufacturer of luxurious Swiss premium chocolates, has introduced a new type of resealable closure on the front of the stand-up pouch, instead of on the upper edge for the packaging of its chocolates.

Technological Advancement Associated with Packaging Films Gaining Momentum in Market

• The primary purpose of food packaging is to ensure that the food is protected from environmental contaminants. Glass or metal is considered as the best choice for food packaging, but the cost of manufacturing, weight, and fragility are some of the factors that restrict their applications. Over the last few years, manufacturers, particularly in developed countries, are increasingly adopting innovative packaging solutions, which not only retain the product quality but also ensure convenience in handling.
• Packaging of meat & poultry, and ready-to-eat foods and pharmaceutical products requires high barrier materials to ensure that the items are protected from water vapor, oxygen, and harmful contaminants. Thus, packaging film manufacturers are incorporating active packaging technologies in conventional plastic packaging films. For instance, Sealed Air one of the leading reclosable films manufacturers has designed reclosable lid films with anti-fog technology to keep product fresh with premium appearance. This reclosable lid film is designed with oxygen-barrier layer and also possesses modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) properties. Shifting inclination of end users toward such advanced packaging solutions to extend the self-life of products is driving the reclosable films market.

Increasing Use of See-through Packaging Solutions for Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal

• Transparency of a package is often perceived as an indication of the quality of the product. If consumers are not able to see what is inside the package, they are less likely to purchase it. The demand for see-through packaging is on the rise, particularly in the food & beverage industry. Transparent packaging imparts a visually pleasing appearance and hence, enhances the shelf visibility of the product. This makes it useful for the consumer goods market, where product differentiation is at the epicenter of manufacturers’ focus.
• Transparent surfaces can be achieved by using reclosable films, as they offer superior transparency and gloss to the package. This also saves printing, labelling, and other decoration costs on packaging, as majority of the surface is meant to provide a visual appeal to the package. Thus, incorporating transparent reclosable films is an efficient way of advertising the product without external means.
• The demand for transparent or see-through packaging solutions is higher in developed countries of North America and Europe, and is gradually increasing in developing countries of Asia Pacific and MEA. Rising demand for such see-through packaging solutions is likely to accelerate the reclosable films market growth to significant extent.
