Packaging Coatings Market Size, Industry Share, and Analysis By Resins Type (Epoxy, Acrylic, Polyurethane, UV-Curable, Rosin, and Others), By Substrates (Plastic, Metal, Glass, and Paper), By Application (Containers, Cans, Caps & Closures, Aerosols & Tubes, and Others), End User (Food & Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care & Cosmetics, Automotive, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Packaging coatings are used for protection, decoration & performance for plastic tubes, metal cans, or any other substrate used in packaging. These coatings provide an aesthetic appeal to products in various consumer goods, healthcare, chemicals, food & beverages, personal care, and other sectors. Moreover, as they offer protection against corrosion & environmental factors, as well as chemical resistance and attractive appearance, they are gaining huge demand. 

The positive growth of the e-commerce industry and the increasing demand for flexible packaging from the consumer goods industry drive the packaging coatings market growth. Additionally, the need for canned food & beverages worldwide fosters market growth. Moreover, manufacturers' increased demand for environment-friendly coatings and key developments provides lucrative opportunities to the packaging coatings industry.

• For instance, on December 2021, Stora Enso launched a sustainable UltraThinPE Tec coating for FSB (foodservice board) products. It is designed to minimize the share of plastic coating in FSB and applications such as single-use paper cups. It allows brand owners, packaging converters, and retailers to develop paper cups with less than 5% plastic.


• On September 2021, DIC Corporation announced the launch of a new coating resin product finder made available in English, Japanese, and Chinese, on their official website. The new product finder enables users to detect the right product from DIC’s more than 300 coating resins range.

The growing demand for canned food and beverages is a key factor that boosts the market growth. Other factors, such as the growing consumer preference for attractive packaging, along with several technological advancements and increasing focus on research & development activities to develop sustainable & effective packaging coatings, propel the market growth. Furthermore, the growing spending on infrastructure development and rising inclination towards modern lifestyle in developed and developing economies accelerate the demand for packaging coatings, thus boosting packaging coatings market growth.

Stringent government rules & regulations, coupled with the harmful VOC emissions during the production process, impede the growth of the packaging coatings market. Additionally, the strict restrictions imposed by several governments for using plastic, chemicals, and other harmful raw materials in food packaging, also restrains the market growth. Moreover, the rising concerns about the amount of Bisphenol-A in packaging coatings are anticipated to negatively impact the packaging coatings market in the forthcoming years.

COVID-19 harmed the global packaging coatings market. Large-scale supply chain disruptions that led to halting production were observed in the early stages of the pandemic. During the outbreak of COVID-19, people were compelled to stay in their homes. Disruptions in the manufacturing units impacted the packaging coating industry worldwide. The growth of the market was stunted due to the government's imposed shutdowns and lockdowns. However, the market is anticipated to witness the massive growth in the post-pandemic era due to the increasing demand for food and beverages worldwide.
