This market research study identifies BASF, LINPAC, Mondi, PolyOne, and BioCote as the leading players in the global anti-microbial packaging materials market. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by anti-microbial agent (organic acid, bacteriocins, and others), by base material type (paperboard, biopolymer, polymer, and others), and geography (APAC, Europe, North America, and ROW).
Overview of the global anti-microbial packaging materials market
The preference for eco-friendly packaging materials such as biodegradable plastics is increasing because they exhibit a non-toxic effect on the environment when compared to conventional plastics. Microorganisms can easily decompose biodegradable plastics. Technavio's market research report identifies that the increasing adoption of biodegradable plastics will be one of the primary growth drivers for the global anti-microbial packaging materials market till 2021. Biodegradable plastics can be made from renewable materials or petrochemicals with biodegradable additives. This in turn, boosts the demand for anti-microbial agents as they are extensively used in the production of biodegradable packaging films. Furthermore, the market share of conventional plastic packaging materials is declining and the environmental regulations around the globe are getting more stringent. This will consequently rise the adoption of biodegradable plastics and anti-microbial packaging. According to Technavio's market research analysts, this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 5% by 2021.
APAC witnesses considerable growth of the anti-microbial food packaging materials market due to the increasing growth opportunities for anti-microbial packaging equipment providers and barrier packaging materials providers. The market will continue to grow in the region during the projected period due to the increasing consumption of food and the rising government initiatives. Furthermore, the increasing aging population that will increase the need for medicines will also boost the demand for efficient packaging systems and materials like anti-microbial packaging supplies from the pharmaceutical industry.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
The anti-microbial packaging materials market is highly fragmented due to the presence of many global and regional vendors. These vendors are trying to remain competitive in the market by focusing on limited product portfolio and geographic reach. They are continuously focusing on the development of innovative products and advanced packaging solutions by investing in R&D activities. Food packaging suppliers are increasingly competing against each other based on factors such as product performance and quality, price, product availability, security of supply, and customer service.
Key vendors in this market are -
- BASF
- LINPAC
- Mondi
- PolyOne
- BioCote
Other prominent vendors in the market include Covestro, DUNMORE, Microban International, Sealed Air, Sciessent, and The Dow Chemical Company.
Segmentation by anti-microbial agent and analysis of the anti-microbial packaging materials market
- Organic acid
- Bacteriocins
Citric acid, acetic acid, and lactic acid are the commonly used organic acids for microbial inhibition. They have the ability to prevent microbial growth and are usually present as intermediates in plants and animals. The anti-microbial activity of organic acids is high because they can penetrate microbial cells and reduce their internal pH. This motivates manufacturers to adopt organic acids as they can increase the shelf life of the food products by reducing the microbial activity and decreasing the pH of food.
Segmentation by base material type and analysis of the anti-microbial packaging materials market
- Paperboard
- Biopolymer
- Polymer
The polymer-based anti-microbial packaging materials are extensively used in the food and beverages sector because they prevent spoilage and protect food products against pathogenic microorganisms. The usage of biodegradable polymer is gaining popularity due to the rising awareness among consumers about their sustainability.
