Micro-perforated food packaging is a polymeric film containing micro holes to exchange gasses for keeping the products fresh. They are manufactured of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). They are widely available in wraps, sheets, bags and pouches variants. Micro-perforated food packaging exhibits high respiratory properties and low temperatures, which reduces the growth of microorganisms, enhances moisture retention, and extends the shelf life of the product. In addition to this, they aid in preventing spillage, contamination, tampering, and loss of vital nutrients. As a result, they are used for packaging biodegradable-based food products, such as ready-to-eat (RTE), fruits, vegetables and bakery products.

Micro-perforated Food Packaging Market Trends:
The increasing demand for convenience food products with longer shelf-life and convenient portability is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Micro-perforated food packaging is widely used due to the rising demand for fresh food that can easily be transported over long distances, while maintaining the food properties. In line with this, the increasing demand for non-toxic packaging material that assists in extending shelf-life and are free of allergens and toxins is favoring the market growth. Moreover, various product innovations, such as the introduction of green packaging solutions, that assist in reducing environmental impact and carbon footprint, are providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, shifting consumer preference toward ready-to-eat (RTE) snacks due to the increasing working population and their hectic lifestyles and busy schedules is positively impacting the market growth. Apart from this, the increasing demand for fruits and vegetables owing to growing health awareness and rising expenditure capacities of consumers, particularly in emerging economies, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
