According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, The Antimicrobial Packaging Market Size was valued at $10.3 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $17.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2022 to 2031.
Antimicrobial coatings prevent bacterial growth, reducing contamination risks and extending product shelf life by inhibiting pathogens. These coatings are applied to biopolymers or synthetic polymers used in packaging materials like cardboard, plastic, and paperboard.
The expanding healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, particularly in emerging economies such as China, India, and South Africa, are fueling the growth of the antimicrobial packaging market. Key drivers include advancements in drug formulation and increased R&D efforts. For instance, in March 2022, BERRY GLOBAL, a packaging innovator, partnered with PYLOTE, a mineral chemical supplier, to develop advanced antimicrobial packaging solutions, including a multi-dose eye drop with antibacterial properties. Such innovations are accelerating the market’s growth.
Additionally, rising disposable incomes globally are increasing demand for packaged food, further driving the antimicrobial packaging market. Packaged food safety remains a significant concern, prompting stringent government regulations. To comply, food processing industries are investing heavily in safer packaging solutions, boosting the demand for antimicrobial packaging and supporting market expansion.
