The plastic segment is estimated to garner the largest revenue share
The plastic market segment is estimated to garner the largest revenue share owing to its easy availability and low price. Plastic-type packing is light and takes up less space than alternatives, resulting in lighter airline and truck payloads and lower emissions. Plastic packing is extremely adjustable and versatile, allowing manufacturers to customize the form, size, and design to match the needs of their customers.
Plastic packing can resist extreme temperatures and does not degrade fast in hot or cold climes, ensuring that the food or beverage inside remains fresh. Products are also protected from moisture, light, oxygen, dust, and odors. DowDuPont's net sales in the packing and specialty plastics segment were recorded at 18,357 million USD in 2015, which increased to 24,906 million USD in 2018.
The pouch segment is estimated to account largest market share over the forecast period
Among all the pack types, the pouch segment is estimated to account for the largest share over the forecast period. Pouch packing allows customers to tear the pack, which provides an easy opening method, and grip seal closures are used to make it easy to open or close the pack for recurrent use.
Both sellers and end-users find that the pouches are simple to store and easy to transport. Pouches are extremely adaptive and flexible. Producers can alter the shape, size, and materials to meet individual requirements. Pouches require fewer resources to manufacture than other types of packing, cutting production costs. Pouches help to keep the product fresh and ensure long shelf life.
The carton packages segment is anticipated to grow at a high CAGR in the years to come. When compared to different packaging materials, carton-type packaging provides the best recycling potential. Any product can be cushioned with a corrugated carton, which keeps it safe during long-distance transportation, shipment, and handling. It's made to resist the wear and strain of typical everyday transportation. They also facilitate and speed up the packing process. All these factors are expected to augment the growth of this segment.
The Healthcare segment anticipated growing at highest growth rate
The healthcare segment is anticipated to grow at a high CAGR in the years to come. Antimicrobial packaging is used at hospitals, dental offices, nursing homes, and GP offices for items such as beds, cubicle curtains, and nursing call systems. Infection concerns in hospitals and dentistry equipment have resulted in an ever-increasing need for microbial infection control in these settings.
Antibiotic resistance is a major and developing problem that has become one of the most pressing public health issues of the twenty-first century. Antimicrobial packaging can help to reduce the different types of hospital infections. All these factors are anticipated to have a positive impact on the growth of this particular segment.
The use of antimicrobial packaging in the food sector has increased due to the rise in food-borne diseases and increased public health awareness. Microbial development in packaged foods can be controlled with antimicrobial packaging.
Antimicrobial packaging is used to proactively affect the inside environment by interacting with the food on a regular basis across the shelf-life of the product. In 2016, worldwide packaged food sales were estimated to be over 2.47 trillion dollars, with food sales expected to be around 2.64 trillion dollars by 2019.
Among all regions, Asia Pacific is estimated to capture the highest revenue share
Among all regions Asia-Pacific is estimated to capture the highest revenue share, owing to the rapid population growth and rising consumer awareness about personal hygiene.
