Rigid packaging films segment is expected to witness the fastest growth
Because of its enhanced use in vegetables, fruits, and other easily crushable packaged foods, rigid packaging has the highest market share among such packaged foods. Consumer lifestyle changes and increased consumption of bread, sausage rolls, and other snacks, primarily in China, India, and the United Kingdom, will drive industry growth.

Furthermore, flexible packaging is becoming increasingly popular due to technological advances and innovative design solutions. Flexible packaging interprets less material than rigid containers and requires considerably less power during packaging product formation.
Furthermore, the production method of flexible packaging emits fewer greenhouse gas emissions, resulting in a cleaner environment. Increasing the adoption of packaging that ensures nutrient and flavor fortification will propel market revenue forward. Strict government regulations and rising consumer consciousness of hygiene and food safety will promote industry growth, boosting the market.
