Technical films Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Technical films are packaging films made of different types of plastics material and provide barrier and sealing properties. Technical films are made up of polyethylene and other plastics, regardless of their complexity. The requirement of technical film vary in terms of impermeability, turbidity, colour, transparency, coefficient of friction i.e. slipperiness, different shrinkage temperatures, amount of conductivity, intensity, minimum gels in a film and others.

Technical films Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise the Demand For Longer Shelf Life for Products

Technical films decrease the need for preservatives and enhance the product life. The demand is pushing the demand for technical films for convenient food packaging. Technical films also offer a printing substrate, improving the aesthetic appeal of products. Food and beverage sector is shifting toward lightweight, transportable packaging and away from traditional packaging formats. The technical films aid to meet this demand because they are lighter than other packaging and remove the use of cans and glass, which add the weight to the packaging.

• Increased demand for Pharmaceutical Packaging

The pharmaceutical sector has huge requirements for packaging solutions in terms of cost-effectiveness, insulation from the outside environment, high levels of protection and ease of handling. Therefore, blister base high packaging films are extensively used because this packaging prevent gas exchange through the packaging and control the temperature within the package which are expected to drive the growth rate of the technical films  market.

Furthermore, increasing demand for sustainable sources in delivery, augmented disposable income, and other food services, increased development of new government policies supporting packaging solutions are expected to increase the demand for technical films in the market.
