The demand for long shelf life in packaged food is notably driving the ambient food packaging market growth, although factors such as high processing requirement in ambient food packaging may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the ambient food packaging industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Ambient Food Packaging Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global ambient food packaging market growth is the demand for long shelf life in packaged food. The cost of the loss of products due to expiry is higher than the cost incurred by inventory carrying. In addition, keeping products in storage for a long time can be problematic when it comes to food products, as they are perishable in nature. However, many packaging technologies and various addition of ingredients and additives have helped the supply chains to rely on shelf life extension solutions. One of the principal examples is ambient food packaging technology. For instance, ambient packaging of freshly cut fruits and vegetables can increase the shelf life by 24 hours to 48 hours. Moreover, the long shelf life of food products leads to a lower production cycle, which gives better visibility in the supply chain. This will support the market growth in the forecast period.
Key Ambient Food Packaging Market Trend
Adoption of eco-friendly packaging is one of the key ambient food packaging market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. Single-serve food packaging contains layers of different materials like paper, plastic, and aluminum foil that are difficult to recycle and pose an additional challenge. Thus, the global ambient food packaging market is witnessing an increase in the use of eco-friendly packaging options such as metal cans, which use up to 80% of recycled metal. For example, in May 2021, Amcor plc launched the first designed-to-be-recycled packaging for powdered chocolate in Latin America. The new packaging solution reduces the carbon footprint by 53% and water consumption by 84% when it is recycled. These innovations leverage the company (Amcor plc) R&D resources to develop this packaging solution, which meets the criteria for sustainability while maintaining product protection, shelf life, and aesthetic appeal, which will further support the market growth in the coming years.
Key Ambient Food Packaging Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global ambient food packaging market growth is the high processing requirement in ambient food packaging. For ambient packaging, food must undergo extensive preservation processes through pasteurization and sterilization, which increases the food production cost by 2%-3%. Food intended for ambient packaging that has not undergone the required processing is more susceptible to spoilage by various environmental factors. For instance, bacteria such as aciduric and thermoduric spoil food by increasing its acidity, thereby reducing its shelf life. In addition, ambient food packaged in metal cans carries the risk of food poisoning; metal cans can corrode due to oxidation, which can get mixed with food leading to food poisoning. Thus, the need for extensive processing of both the food and the packaging for ambient packaging will pose a challenge to the growth of the market.
