The high-barrier packaging sales are attributed to the higher demand for packaged food items due to enhanced product marketing and increased hygiene roles. The food and beverage industry consumes the most, followed by the pharmaceutical sector. The latest forecast at FMI explains that the rising business standards and emerging brands, out of innovations, are adopting new barrier packaging solutions.
The formation of nanocomposites for food application involves montmorillonite clays, kaolinite, carbon nanotube, and graphene nano-sheet. The advanced implementation of nanotechnology has made packaging sustainable and advanced. The formation involves packaging science, food science, sensor science, information technology, nanotechnology, etc. These elements become a part of the research and development programs for barrier packaging solutions that further enhances the packaging solutions. This fuels the sales of barrier packaging solutions.
The rising geriatric population leads to the expansion of the pharmaceutical industry, which further demands barrier packaging solutions. The protective layer provided by this type of packaging solution helps in sustaining the medicine and its properties. Barrier packaging protects food from moisture, oxygen, dust, and UV radiation. Barrier packaging is used for many products pertaining to the food industry, medical industry, and electronics industry.
The adoption and integration of nanotechnology along with sub-micron-sized additives are getting placed with barrier packaging solutions. The advanced flexible barrier packaging solutions are considered “active and intelligent” packaging. With the barrier technology, the packaging limits the conditions to which food is exposed, making it the first choice for the FMCG industry. The better-looking packaging style pushes it to gain traction in the overall barrier packaging market.
Thus, the cost and investment vary with the material used. Metal packaging ensures the longer and superior safety of foods and beverages. This fuels the demand for barrier packaging solutions.
The glass material is used for lighter food and pharmaceutical items that need to be showcased. These come in different shapes, sizes, and colors. At the same time, the transparent barrier coating helps in food items that need sunlight for prevention. Therefore, light-sensitive food should be packaged in colored glass. Other than this, plastic and laminated barrier packaging for food are mostly used for airtight packaging.

The global barrier packaging market expanded at a CAGR of 4.9% during the historic period and reached US$ 5.9 Bn in 2021.
The barrier packaging is prevented food from external climatic or any environmental change. It protects food from moisture, oxygen, dust, and UV radiation. Barrier packaging is used for many products including as food industry, medical industry, and electronics industry.
The demand for barrier packaging in pharmaceuticals is growing, barrier packaging prevents the actual composition of medicine as it provides a protective barrier for a product, which increases the self-life and gives protection from oxygen and moisture, favorable packaging for a product can make the transit process easy with superior freshness. Using technology in packaging protects the product inside out.
The barrier packaging is impervious packaging solutions that offer protective packaging for food, beverages, and pharmaceutical solutions. The main purpose of the food industry is to prevent the product from rotting, as the odor of food should remain constant, as well as the deterioration of food by texture and color should remain the same by using barrier packaging.
The barrier packaging prevents the shelf life of the product from oxygen and moisture protection by environmental conditions. Barrier films are used for regulating the temperature of medicines and preventing gas exchange and market growth. Barrier films are used in the medical sector due to improving demand in the pharmaceutical industry. There is increased demand for the food industry as food products are transported across the globe without any product loss and the quality remains intact. Therefore, the food industry is preferring barrier packaging as it is lightweight and easy to transport as compared to rigid packaging.
Based on the material segment, the plastic segment is anticipated to hold around 75.2% of the market value share during the forecast period.
Plastic has the characteristic to work as a natural barrier to moisture and oxygen transmission. For long period using plastic material to maintain the freshness of the product, Plastics are frivolous therefore, they are easy to use in packaging. The effect and scratch-proof character will result positively. Easy production of plastic and now recyclable gives an extra advantage using plastic in the packaging industry, plastic manufacturing also has reduced carbon dioxide radiation, solid waste generation, and pollution. Plastics can be reusable and are easy to carry store, and clean. A barrier coat is a multilayer combination of plastic that helps in the diffusion of water and gas into rigid or flexible packaging.
The food and beverage industry is expected to grow at CAGR 3.7 % during 2022-2032. The food industry focuses on the quality of the food product as the penetration of water and moisture should not affect the food product. The product can be prevented through barrier packaging.
The barrier is required for the safety of the product, by looking at the temperature and humidity conditions, and where a product is likely to be exposed in the supply chain or while consumption. It is essential to specify the regions and their climatic conditions for packaging a product.
According to the Department of Pharmaceuticals, published by the government of India, India ranked 3 in terms of volume in pharmaceuticals, and 14 in terms of value. Rapid increment in the pharma industry brings positive change in the barrier packaging industry, using technology in advanced packaging, a scientific approach to implementing the design, packaging plays an integral role in the drug industry.
The pharmaceutical industries are coming up with innovations in medicines, and the medicines require proper packaging for transportation, and the external temperature should not affect the medicine that is packaged inside. To avoid the loss of properties, flexible packaging is coming up with new solutions and this is creating opportunities for the barrier packaging market.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), agriculture, food and related industries contributes US$ 1.055 trillion to USA’s gross domestic product (GDP). The food service and food retailing industries have an output of around about US$ 2 trillion worth of food. The high barrier packaging is significantly used in the food industry. The barrier packaging prevents food from moisture, oxygen, and UV radiation. It helps in a longer shelf life. These factors are responsible for the higher demand for high-barrier packaging.
