MarketsandMarkets projects that the global antimicrobial packaging market size will grow from USD 7.28 billion in 2015 to USD 10.00 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.54%. Antimicrobial packaging solutions are used in food & beverages, healthcare, personal care, consumer durables, and agricultural goods industries. Food & beverages leads the market with the highest CAGR. The reason this segment leads the market is because food & beverage products are perishable and have a very less shelf life. Apart from this, consumers are also concerned about their health and the hazards that food contamination can have on them. Thus, as antimicrobial packaging solutions have properties that improve the shelf life of the products without compromising on quality standards, it has become the most sort-after packaging solution for food & beverage products.
The controlled release packaging technology is projected to grow the fastest during the forecast period.
There are two types of antimicrobial packaging technologies, namely, controlled release packaging and active packaging. Out of this, the controlled release packaging technology segment is projected to be the fastest-growing technology from 2016 to 2021. Controlled release packaging utilizes packaging as a delivery vehicle to efficiently bring the actives in specifically controlled rates over prolonged periods to the product to further improve its quality and safety.
