The growing demand for packaged food products is expected to drive the growth of the nutraceutical packaging market in the coming years. Packaged food items increasingly include nutraceutical ingredients to meet the preferences of health-conscious consumers. Nutraceutical packaging supports this trend by enabling clear labeling and the communication of health-related claims, helping consumers make informed purchasing decisions. For example, in 2024, according to the US Foreign Agricultural Service, a US-based government agency, exports of processed food products from the United States were valued at $39.4 billion.

Major companies operating in the nutraceutical packaging market are focusing on the development of recyclable materials to reduce plastic usage and minimize packaging waste. Recyclable packaging materials are designed to be reprocessed and reused, supporting circular economy objectives. For instance, in July 2023, Melodea Ltd., an Israel-based packaging and container manufacturing company, introduced MelOx NGen, a high-performance barrier solution developed to improve the recyclability of plastic food packaging. MelOx NGen is a water-based, plant-derived coating approved for food-contact applications and serves as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based barrier materials such as EVOH commonly used in food packaging. In addition to extending product shelf life, the solution enhances environmental sustainability by enabling a greater proportion of plastic food packaging to be recyclable.
