Metalized Barrier Film Packaging Market Growth and Segments,2017-2027 Metalized Barrier Film Packaging | Page 4

Metalized Barrier Film Packaging Market
All forms of flexible packaging has a drawback of permeability wherein at some level they allow oxygen or
gasses to penetrate through the packaging. To overcome this drawback, packaging manufacturers
innovated high barrier coatings to prevent the external environment from influencing the internal
atmosphere of packaging. These high barrier coatings are commonly made of metal or combination of
metal and plastic to achieve barrier properties for specific or general factors such as moisture, gasses, UV
rays, heat, etc. The combination of coating is applied to various form of packaging such as pouches, bags,
films, over wraps, liners, etc. Metalized barrier film provide technological advantages to the flexible
packaging market as compared to rigid packaging market by making it efficient for insulating the products
at lesser cost.
Metalized Barrier Film Packaging Market: Market Dynamics
Metalized barrier film packaging market is sustained by the flexible packaging market. Flexible packaging
market is estimated to be about US$ 238 Bn and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% over the
forecast period. The ability of the metalized barrier film from not letting the light, moisture to penetrate
the packaging is driving the metalized barrier film packaging market. The use of metalized barrier film
offers chemical manufacturers the ability to reduce the carbon emission as the material required by the
films is lesser than the rigid packaging. Products which may get spoiled even with little moisture exposure
can be stopped with the use of metalized barrier film hence metallized barrier films are efficient in raising
the shelf life of the product in comparison with the other form of packaging.
