High Barrier Multi-Layer Top Lidding Film Market Dynamics
Due to increasing door-to-door transportation globally, products undergo severe conditions. Therefore, they require advanced packaging to maintain long shelf life.
The packaging is crucial in the food industry to safeguard the food products and maintain the quality. The high barrier packaging films help extend shelf life and preserve the high quality of food stored in them.
An increase in the demand for fresh and prepared food products will propel the need for high barrier packaging films globally. Consumers are demanding that processed as little as possible and artificial additives and preservatives are not used to preserve food quality.
This has led to food manufacturers demanding new shelf life-enhancing methods and packaging. High barrier packaging films have unique properties like chemical properties, heat resistance, gas and aroma barrier, high tensile strength, puncture resistance, durability, special surface properties, and lighter packaging.
Because of these properties, high barrier packaging films are in demand as manufacturers use these advanced materials that fulfill industry demand in certain applications and consumer satisfaction. Super-thin films and multilayer films are the major films used for many food product applications.
High Barrier Multi-Layer Top Lidding Film Market Segmentation Analysis
Global high barrier multi-layer top High Barrier Multi-Layer Top Lidding Film Market for food and beverage industry was valued at US$ XX million in 2019 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2027 with a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2020 to 2027
High barrier packaging films play an important role in food and beverage packaging applications.
High barrier packaging film is considered appropriate material for packaging raw meat, sausages, bacon, and other packed food products in the food industry.
One of the major factors driving the market is using these films to packaging meat and meat products. For extended shelf life, the processing of meat and meat products is essential, which includes drying the meat, controlling acidity, and storing it in airtight containers to reduce microbial risk.
Global High Barrier Multi-Layer Top Lidding Film Market for the food industry was valued at USD XX million in 2019 and is expected to reach USD XX million by 2027 with a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2020 to 2027.
High barrier packaging films play an important role in food and beverage packaging applications.
In 2019, the food industry accounted for around 67% of the global high barrier packaging film market. This was followed by the healthcare industry, with a market share of around 13%.
High barrier packaging film is considered appropriate for meat, sausages, vegetables, and beverages in the food industry.
One of the major factors driving the market is using these films to packaging meat and meat products. For extended shelf life, the processing of meat and meat products is essential, which includes drying the meat, controlling acidity, and storing it in airtight containers to reduce microbial risk.
The acceptance of packaged food products worldwide due to busy lifestyles and convenience are the major factors contributing to the demand for high barrier packaging films in the food industry.
High barrier packaging films are also used for packaging fish and seafood. According to the World Bank, it is expected that by 2030, APAC will experience 70% of the global demand for fish and seafood. This is anticipated to increase the demand for and use barrier films for fish and seafood packaging from the region, providing opportunities for the market vendors to improve their profit margin.
Also, food products that are packaged using these films contain fewer preservatives compared to canned food products. This leads to the acceptance of these food products among health-conscious customers.
Vendors are experiencing a growing demand for packaging films from the healthcare industry for different applications.
Polyethylene is used as the basic material for manufacturing packaging films and sheets for healthcare industry applications. However, the demand for biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films is anticipated to increase substantially from this industry during the forecast period.
Global High Barrier Multi-Layer Top Lidding Film Market for meat applications was valued at USD XX million in 2019 and is expected to reach USD XX million by 2027 with a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2020 to 2027.
Global meat production is estimated to be around 263 million tons annually. Over 20% is lost or wasted throughout the value chain, equivalent to 75 million cows. Adopting lidding films in meat packaging would prevent waste by extending shelf life. Additionally, it improves presentation and increasing productivity in the packaging room.
The popular applications for clear, high-barrier lidding are fresh meats, deli meats, ready-to-eat meals, and cheese. Most of these lidding films achieve their barrier with an EVOH sealant web or an ALOX PET film.
Polypropylene (PP) trays are widely used for ready meat and dairy food packaging owing to their advantages such as easily recycled, lighter in weight, and lower cost. North America, especially the United States, is the major market for PP trays for meat applications.
Moreover, PP lidding films are the best alternative to the lidding films containing aluminum, metalized PET, or paper/PE. PP film properties make food packaging easier to recycle. When PP cups have any remnants of aluminum lids, they must be removed from the recycling stream.
High Barrier Multi-Layer Top Lidding Film Market Geographical Share

Thus, the growing processed meat market is expected to drive the global lidding films market further during the forecast period.
Fresh meat is another major market for lidding films globally. Fresh meat is a sensitive product. Consumers expect a minimum shelf life of 10 days. Therefore fresh meat has to be protected against deterioration.
The amount of packaged fresh meat on sale in shops has significantly increased over recent years. Especially for sensitive food products such as fresh meat, it is important to optimally adapt the packaging system to the product contents to offer consumers healthy and safe foods.
The most common packages for retail fresh meat cuts in Western countries are Polystyrene foam or clear plastic trays overwrapped with a transparent film.
Vacuum packaging is preferred for fresh meat packaging. This packaging method achieves its preservative effect by maintaining the product in an oxygen-deficient environment. This packaging's preferred materials are PE films, Polyester films, PVDC copolymer films, LDPE films, and others.
According to industry analysis, fresh meat represents 89% of the total volume of meat sold globally. It is projected to grow by 2% annually through 2025, which would create immense opportunities for the lidding films during the forecast period.
