The growth of the fresh food packaging market is driven by the soaring demand for organic and fresh consumable products owing to several factors including high nutritional value, improved biological quality even when stored for a longer period of time, more suitability for processing and distribution due to their longer shelf life, no residues of pesticides, and higher organoleptic properties such as fragrance, color, and taste.

However, the growing environmental concern along with the strict rules and regulations of government regarding the use of packing raw materials across the globe is likely to influence the demand for fresh consumables. The use of non-biodegradable packing material across the F&B industry is becoming a matter of concern both for human health and the environment. Long-term use and exposure of plastics and plastic products to high temperatures can lead to the leaching of toxic chemical constituents into consumables.

The Covid-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the growth of the fresh food packaging market. The deadly virus outbreak created a panic situation among the consumers that facilitated them to store, stockpile, and hoard fresh fruits & vegetables, dairy, and other products resulting in the increased demand for packing in order to prevent eatable products from contamination.

However, the world witnessed higher in-house consumption due to the lockdown across the globe, whereas out-of-home consumption observed a drastic decline, which historically generates the highest margin in the F&B industry. This led to a significant impact on the demand for fresh food packing.
