Cellulose film packaging is a bio-compostable packaging solution manufactured from wood pulp or cotton. Cellulose film packaging extends the shelf life of fresh produce products by controlling the moisture content. In addition, it maintains the freshness and aroma of the food product and is thus widely used in food packaging.
Sustainable packaging solutions such as cellulose film packaging have become increasingly important owing to consumer preferences, government policies, and corporate standards demand to reduce environmental impact.
Based on technology, the cellulose film packaging market is categorized into transparent, colored and metalized. Transparent cellulose films are breathable films of natural origin with high gloss. It maintains the freshness of the packed ingredient for a long duration with that it has got good heat & chemical resistance.
Market Dynamics
The increasing importance of sustainable packaging solutions is expected to drive the cellulose film packaging market.
Over the past few years, sustainable packaging solutions have become increasingly important owing to consumer preferences, government policies, and corporate standards demand to reduce environmental impact. For instance, according to a recent study by IBM, 70% of shoppers pay an added premium of 35% more per upfront cost for sustainable purchases, such as eco-friendly or recycled goods. In addition, 57% are willing to change purchasing habits to help reduce their negative environmental impacts.
Moreover, the extensive use of conventional plastic majorly causes landfilling. For instance, as per the recent study by the journal Science Advances, 6.3 billion metric tons has become plastic waste out of the 8.3 billion metric tons that have been produced, in which 79 percent is either accumulating in landfills or sloughing off in the natural environment as litter. On the other hand, cellulose film packaging is biodegradable and compostable. It is capable of solving landfilling problems to a considerable extent.
Therefore, companies are more into innovating and launching new cellulose films eco-friendly and supporting sustainable packaging. For instance, Century Pulp & Paper, an Indian company, launched 'Natura Wrap' biodegradable cellulose film. Natura Wrap is completely biodegradable, making it an environment-friendly product.
Low industrial use due to mechanical characteristics is likely to hinder the market
Cellulose films are restricted from extensive industrial use due to the barrier and mechanical characteristics of the material compared to conventional plastic. In addition, biopolymers such as cellular films are also restricted by their poor resistance to moisture. However, these issues are expected to be circumvented through the development of nano-composite technology.
Moreover, High prices of raw materials used in cellulose film packaging can hamper the growth of the global cellulose film packaging market.
Segment Analysis
Based on technology, the cellulose film packaging market is categorized into transparent, colored, and metalized.
Transparent cellulose films are breathable films of natural origin with high gloss. It maintains the freshness of the packed ingredient for a long duration with that it has got good heat & chemical resistance. Transparent films are manufactured from cellulose originated in the plant cell wall. These cellulose films are promptly decomposed in soil or are degraded into water producing carbon dioxide gas and biomass.
The companies are adopting growth strategies such as innovations and product launches, contributing to the growth of the cellulose film packaging market globally. For instance, Century Pulp & Paper, an Indian company, launched 'Natura Wrap' transparent, biodegradable cellulose film. Natura Wrap is completely biodegradable, making it an environment-friendly product.
Geographical Analysis
Based on the geography, the cellulose film packaging market is segmented into North America, Europe, South America, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
Europe is expected to dominate the cellulose film packaging owing to growing concern over the use of plastic. With growing awareness about sustainable packaging solutions, packaging manufacturers in the regions are constantly focusing on developing biodegradable plastics to reduce their carbon footprint. For instance, according to the study conducted by Madano communications Thinking in 2016, consumers in Europe react positively toward businesses that use cellulose film packaging in their packaging products.
The major companies in Europe are adopting several growth strategies such as product launches, acquisitions, and collaborations, contributing to the growth of the cellulose film packaging market globally. For instance, in January 2021, Italian packaging firm Gi.St.El. Plast launched renewable and compostable packaging made from Futamura’s NatureFlex cellulose films.
Moreover, In March 2018, Futamura, a U.K.-based company, partnered with sustainable packaging manufacturer, Bio4Pack, to create a compostable pack for Dutch organic cereal producer, De Halm, using Nature FlexTM and Tipafilm.
Competitive Landscape
