The barrier films market is projected to reach USD 32.63 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.0% between 2017 and 2022. Barrier films are plastic films used for the protection of various products by acting as a barrier against vapor, moisture, and gas. These films are produced from materials, such as PE, PP, PA, PET, organic coatings, and inorganic oxide coatings. The growth of the barrier films market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for barrier films in various end-use industries, such as food & beverage packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, and agriculture.

The barrier films market has been segmented on the basis of end-use industry, material, and region. Based on end-use industry, the barrier films market has been segmented into food & beverage packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, agriculture, and others. The food & beverage packaging segment is the largest end-use industry segment of the barrier films market. The agriculture end-use industry of the barrier films market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period both, in terms of value. This growth can be attributed to the increasing use of mulch films and silage films in farming, as these films help preserve crop quality and increase crop production.  

Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe are considered to be key regional markets for barrier films. The barrier films market in the Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2017 and 2022 both, in terms of value.

Based on material, the barrier films market has been segmented into PE, PP, PA, PET, organic coatings, inorganic oxide coatings, and others.  The PE is the largest material segment of the barrier films market both, in terms of value. PE is considered to be a preferred material used in the development of barrier films, owing to its excellent moisture barrier properties. Products that need barrier resistance against moisture are developed with high-density PE. The inorganic oxide coatings segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period both, in terms of value.  This growth can be attributed to the increasing use of inorganic oxide coatings to develop barrier films.

Volatile prices of raw materials are acting as a restraint to the growth of the barrier films market. Multilayer films encompass superior properties as compared to monolayer films. However, recyclability of multilayer films serves to be a major challenge to the growth of the barrier films market.

Amcor (Australia), Sealed Air (US), Bemis  (US), Toppan Printing (Russia), Cosmo Films (India), Jindal Poly Films (India), and Berry Global (US) are leading companies operating in the barrier films market. These companies are expected to account for a significant share of the barrier films market in the near future.
