Modified Atmosphere Packaging Market Size, Share, Growth Report 2032

Global Modified Atmosphere Packaging Market: Overview

Modified atmosphere packaging is smart technology to increase the shelf life of packaged foodstuff. The technology maintains the freshness, color, appearance, and nutritional value of packaged food for a long period. It changes the gaseous composition inside the packaged food to aid in the growth of good microorganisms and thus the color of the packaged food remains unchanged. The materials used in the packaging have a specified level of gas and water vapor absorbing capability. It lowers the product’s aging process. The global modified atmosphere packaging market is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period.

The foremost factor driving the global modified atmosphere packaging market is the growing demand for packaged food owing to the rising consumer awareness regarding healthy food products and healthy lifestyles of the people.

There is a growing demand for various packaged food products like fruits & vegetables, seafood, processed meat, dairy products, fish, and many more. Moreover, modified atmosphere packaging is much preferred by food retailers due to the low cost of storage and production. The technology is preferred across the globe because it has eliminated the use of chemical preservatives in food products. Furthermore, the presence of prominent players in the global modified atmosphere packaging market also drives the market growth.

Global Modified Atmosphere Packaging Market: Segmentation

The global modified atmosphere packaging market can be segmented into application, material, machinery, atmosphere, and region.

By application, the market can be segmented into convenience food, dairy products, fruits & vegetables, poultry, seafood, and bakery & confectionary. The bakery & confectionery segment holds the hegemony over others due to the growing demand for bread-based products. A high proportion of gases like carbon dioxide is used in packaging solutions for bread-based products to extend their shelf life.

By material, the market can be segmented into polyamide, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene, oriented polyethylene-terephthalate, polyethylene, ethylene vinyl alcohol, and others. The ethylene-vinyl alcohol segment holds the largest market share as it offers outstanding gas barrier properties and retains enhanced processability. Ethylene-vinyl retains nitrogen and keeps oxygen out. It has high resistance against oil and preserves aroma & taste. Polyethylene is considered safe for utilizing in food products by the FDA and various health safety agencies across the globe. The material is anticipated to drive the growth of the global modified atmosphere packaging market significantly.

By machinery, the market can be segmented into bag-sealing machines, deep-drawing machines, vacuum chamber machines, tray-sealing machines, vertical & horizontal flow packaging machines, and others.

By atmosphere, the market can be segmented into nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and others. The carbon dioxide segment holds the largest market share in food packaging because its high concentration increases the durability of perishable food products.
