Global Biopolymer Films Market: Overview

Biopolymer films are a continuous matrix that acts as a layer protecting food quality and extending shelf life. They are made of renewable resources and are generally obtained from natural raw materials such as pectin, protein, cellulose, starch, and much more. They are considered to be a good alternative to plastic. The integration of antimicrobial compounds into biopolymer films can help to extend product use life, maintain food product quality, change packaging conditions, and enhance food safety & sensory properties. Biopolymer films are thus widely used in the food industry.

Global Biopolymer Films Market: Growth Factors

The global biopolymer films market is growing at a faster rate. Factors such as growing demand for eco-friendly packaging from the consumers, growing concerns of environmental pollution caused by plastic, and increase in demand for biopolymer films from the food & beverages industry are majorly contributing to the growth of the global biopolymer films market. Biopolymer films act as a protective barrier for the migration of carbon dioxide, oxygen, moisture, flavors, and aromas from the adjacent foods or between the environment and food. In addition to this, they can also enhance food integrity throughout physical handling and lessen mechanical damage while effective as a vehicle for active compounds such as antioxidants and antimicrobials.

Also, growing awareness among consumers has led to the demand for healthy, nutritive, and safe food packaged in materials with the least negative environmental impacts. All these factors and growing demand for packaged food due to the rise in disposable income and busy lifestyle are propelling the growth of the global market. Furthermore, an increase in research on biopolymers and the development of diverse nanocomposites by adding nanoparticles to polymers may offer noteworthy opportunities for the growth of the global biopolymer films market during the forecast period. However, some of the disadvantages such as poor physiochemical, mechanical, and barrier properties associated with the biopolymer films may hamper the growth of the global biopolymer films market.

The global biopolymer films market is been moderately affected by the pandemic and the effects are also considered to be short-term. The sales and production of biopolymer films are been affected during the pandemic due to strict lockdown and restriction on movement rules enforced by the government of several countries across the world. In addition to this, the demand for biopolymer films also decreased from its end-users as they were enforced to cease all their operations during the outbreak of the Covid-19. However, the growing need and awareness of the safety of packaging will drive the growth of the market in the upcoming years.
