Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 517.1 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% during 2023-2028. The burgeoning packaging industry, increasing demand for small or unit dose packs for household items, and the growing concerns for protecting industrial workers from coming in direct contact with hazardous materials represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Escalating Demand for Water Soluble Film in Food Packaging Strengthening Market Growth
Presently, hectic working schedules and increasing demand for convenience and ready-to-eat (RTE) food items are increasing the demand for water soluble film. It is made from edible materials, such as starch and cellulose, which are safe for human consumption. In addition, it is used in the packaging of candy, dried fruits, and snacks, which eliminates the need for separate packaging and reduces waste. Moreover, it is employed for single-serve packaging of products, including coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Additionally, water soluble film is utilized to wrap perishable foods, such as meat, poultry, and fish, for preserving their freshness and extending their shelf life.
Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is fragmented with several small and large players operating in the industry due to low product differentiation. The volume of new entrants is moderate in the water soluble film industry due to the presence of a large number of players, minimum capital investments, and easy access to distribution networks.
What is Water Soluble Film?
Also known as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA/PVOH) film, water-soluble film is a synthetic polymer, which is soluble in water. It is colorless, odorless, biodegradable, and non-toxic and possesses high tear and tensile strength, puncture resistance, and adhesive properties. It offers smooth mechanical operations, enhanced productivity, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility in packaging. It also provides high solvent resistance, gas barrier performance and excellent heat-sealing properties, and printability. As a result, water soluble film is gaining traction in diverse applications, such as packaging agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals, printing curved surfaces, and as base materials for wigs and embroidery. It is also used for laminating, packaging, and wrapping applications in a wide range of industries across the globe.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak imposed unprecedented challenges on manufacturing companies and led to a partial or complete shutdown of facilities. It also created a serious disturbance in the packaging sector and hampered the supply chains, which resulted in labor shortages and an increment in the price of raw materials. This further caused a significant drop in the production of water soluble film and order delays for the packaging companies. Moreover, the movement of raw materials required for manufacturing water-soluble film, including polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyacrylic acid (PAA), ethane, polyoxyethylene glycol (PEG), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), auxiliary agent, and water also impacted the production of water soluble films. However, the impact is currently limited, as many providers are involved in managing the supply chain and overcoming the unprecedented pandemic effect.
At present, water soluble films are employed in the packaging of disinfectants and detergents on account of their non-toxic and biodegradable properties. They also facilitate a barrier for odor, aromas, bacteria, and gases. Product benefits, in confluence with the burgeoning packaging industry and increasing demand for water soluble films as a sustainable and eco-friendly packaging material, represent one of the key factors positively influencing the market across the globe. In addition, the widespread adoption of water soluble films in the chemical industry for protecting industrial workers from coming in direct contact with hazardous materials is bolstering the market growth. Additionally, water soluble films are gaining immense popularity in the food and beverage (F&B) industry on account of their air- and oil-resistant properties, which are offering lucrative growth opportunities to key market players. Furthermore, governments of various countries are implementing stringent environmental protection laws and regulations, which is strengthening the market growth. Besides this, leading market players are heavily investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce new products and enhance their existing product portfolio. They are also focusing on producing unique and advanced structures of technologies based on polymer, synthetic chemistry, and carbon material chemistry, with technologies and expertise, which is stimulating the growth of the market around the world.
