High Barrier Packaging Films Market - Forecasts from 2019 to 2024

The global high barrier packaging market is expected to witness a CAGR of 4.89% over the forecast period to reach US$6.951 billion by 2024 from US$5.220 billion in 2018. High Barrier Films are packaging materials used to preserve the freshness and quality of a product. These are used to prevent the product from water, moisture, gas or light. The rising demand for customer friendly packaging and increasing demand for products with a longer shelf life is expected to drive the high barrier packaging films market. Further downsizing of packaging is also a factor expected to create opportunities for the market.

The key industries driving the market for high barrier packaging are packaged food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal care among others. Furthermore, the growing industrialization and urbanization in developing economies in countries like India and China coupled with the increasing demand for convenience products are expected to boost the market for high barrier packaging films. However, the concerns regarding degradation and environmental concerns owing to difficult recycling are expected to hamper the market growth.
