Food plastic wraps are commonly known as cling films or wraps. They are thin plastic wraps that are used for sealing and securing food items and different products in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and other industries. When used in the packaging of products in the food industry, the films keep the food items fresh for a longer duration. The manufacturing of cling films involves blowing compressed air through a tube to form a bubble. The bubble then stretches the plastic into the required or desired thickness. Finally, the bubble is collapsed between metal rollers to give rise to a cling film. These films are used for sealing the food items or other products that are packed. They protect the food items from bacteria, microorganisms, moisture, and dust from external sources. Based on material type, the cling films market is categorized into polyethylene, biaxially oriented polypropylene, PVC, PVDC, and others. Based on form, the market is segmented into cast cling film and blow cling film. Based on thickness, the cling films market is segmented into up to 9 microns, 9-12 microns, and above 12 microns. Based on end-user industry, the cling films market is segmented into food industry, healthcare, consumer goods, and industrial.
The PVC segment led the cling films market, based on material type, with the largest share in 2018. PVC films are thin polyvinyl films used for the packaging of food items to keep them fresh for longer period. They are sold in the form of rolls. PVC cling films are microwave safe and easy to handle. They are environmentally friendly and can be reheated. Despite being thin, these films are solid and highly durable. These films hold up and protect the food item even when the outer package is mishandled. They also save space by keeping items organized and consolidated together. PVC films are cost-effective compared with other aluminum wraps or foils. Being oxygen and moisture resistant, they prevent spoilage in packaged food products such as meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables.
The cling films market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South America, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA).
