[196 Pages Report] The Packaging Film Market size was estimated at USD 133.61 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 141.29 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.18% to reach USD 203.41 billion by 2030.

Packaging film is a thin plastic layer used to preserve, protect, market, and distribute various food, industrial, and medical items. Packaging films are generally made of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Many packaging films undergo a thermoforming process, during which the film is stretched into a mold or cavity to form a package of the desired shape. The demand for flexible packaging for packaged food & personal care products is accelerating the utilization of packaging films. Factors including difficulty in plastic film recycling and flexible film temperature susceptibility affect packaging film’s utilization and expanded use in various industries. In addition, the development of barrier coatings and film technologies for achieving sustainable packaging of food products assists the implementation of packaging films. 3D printing technology has permeated the packaging industry, enabling rapid prototyping of new designs for different packaging.
