Desiccant bags are the flexible small pouches that are filled with the desiccant material. Desiccant bags are also called as moisture absorber bags. Desiccant material is a hygroscopic (a substance that can absorb moisture from air) material used in various applications such as food, electronics, shipping, medical devices, military, and automobile industry etc.
The desiccant bags absorb moisture in the packaging of the products which require to be protected from moisture which can cause corrosion and degradation. Desiccant bags maintains quality and shelf life of the packaged products. Desiccant absorbs humidity until they are inside the packet. The desiccant material is filled in the paper bag or sachet and after absorption of moisture the desiccant turns into gel.

The global market for desiccant bags is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period 2017-2025. The demand for desiccant bags is growing due to several reasons. Firstly, packaged food products are required to be fresh and free from moisture and hence desiccant bags are used in order to maintain quality and shelf life.
Desiccant bags are anticipated to witness high growth and preference among food brand owners, as active, smart, and intelligent packaging formats enjoy growing penetration in the market. Many regions, such as the Asia Pacific region are witnessing increased consumer preference for case-ready meals, due to the high rate of urbanization and changing consumer lifestyles.
