Perforated Packaging Film Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Material (Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Polyvinylidene Dichloride (PVDC), Polystyrene (PS), Polyethylene (PE), and Others), By Product Type (Laser Perforation, Needle Perforation, and Others), By Application (Meat, Cheese, Ready Meals, Fruits & Vegetable, Pet Food, and Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Perforated packaging film extends the shelf life of products by ensuring the proper amount of air is spread inside the package. The increase in the need for longer shelf life of food products will influence the growth of the perforated packaging film market. Changing urbanization and lifestyle have contributed to the increasing demand for food packaging, and the number of supermarkets and retail chains, departmental stores, hypermarkets, and local stores have fuelled the demand for the perforated packaging film market. The growing frozen food imports are expected to increase the perforated packaging film market growth.

• For instance, in September 2021, Global film manufacturer Flex Films launched its new avant-grade patented BOPET high barrier film F-UHB-M, designed to replace aluminum foil in the flexible packaging application.

Perforated packaging film's incapacity to protect its products against physical and chemical harm is the largest restrain for the market. Moreover, the high cost of the product and technological sophistications act as a major restrain in the growth of perforated packaging film market.

The increasing demand for natural and organic food products creates opportunities for the perforated packaging film market. Natural and organic food products often require more specialized packaging solutions; perforated packaging can be customized to provide the right level of protection and extend the product's shelf life.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE PERFORATED PACKAGING FILM MARKET

The perforated packaging film market was negatively affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The shutdown of various industries such as confectionery, cheese, meat, and others decreased the use of perforated packaging film. However, during the pre-pandemic era, the market significantly thrived as the demand from the food and beverage sector increased perforated packaging film's growth. The increasing emphasis on sustainable packaging materials is further expected to fuel market growth.
