Global Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC) Coated Films Market 2023

Description
The global PVDC coated films market is projected to demonstrate steady expansion between 2022 and 2029. The market size is estimated to increase from approximately $1.42 billion in 2022 to $1.68 billion by 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate of 2.4% over this period.

The market experienced challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic but has since recovered and is exhibiting stable growth trends. A key driver is the expanding processed food industry and demand for PVDC-coated films in food packaging applications. Potential hindrances to expansion could arise from substitute materials. However, opportunities exist through developing innovative technologies for recycling PVDC film structures.

Currently, the Asia Pacific region, particularly China, Japan, and India, leads in global consumption. PVDC-coated films provide beneficial properties such as moisture-proofing, gas-barrier effects and aroma retention, making them valuable packaging materials especially for the food industry.

Biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films currently dominate flexible packaging applications in industries such as snacks, confectionery, and meat. The blister packaging sector also presents opportunities for expanding BOPP film utilization.

PVDC-coated BOPP films are employed in overwrapping, horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS), and vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) systems, conferring enhanced oxygen barrier properties. The food packaging industry accounts for the largest share of global demand, with BOPP widely used for meat and dairy wrappers.

PVDC-coated variations exhibit high chemical resistance, inertness, low odor, and comparable barrier effects to metallized films. Additional benefits include low stretchability, strong bonding, and low water absorbency making them ideally suited for food coverings.

Rising consumption stems from the vital importance of the food packaging industry in preserving and transporting nourishment. The market is projected to experience ongoing expansion given these dynamics. Currently, the Asia Pacific region, led by China, India, and Japan, represents the leading global market. Strong demand arises from population growth and improving living standards across developing Asian nations.
