Cellulose Film Packaging Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Cellulose film packaging is a bio-compostable packaging solution which is manufactured from cotton or wood pulp. Cellulose film packaging prolongs the shelf life of fresh products by maintaining the moisture content. Furthermore, it maintains the aroma and freshness of the food product and is so extensively used in food packaging. Sustainable packaging such as cellulose film packaging have become progressively important due to government policies, consumer preferences and corporate standards demand to ease environmental impact.

Cellulose Film Packaging Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising demand for eco-friendly packaging products 

The cellulose film packaging can be produced by the usage of renewable resources which are sustainable, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable. As a result of this, the consumer’s preference shifted toward eco-friendly packaging products. This factor is anticipated to drive the demand for cellulose film packaging and enhance the market growth.

• Increase in awareness regarding the usage of wood based cellulose packaging

Rising customer awareness regarding the increasing waste and landfills in environment are producing an aversion towards plastic packaging solutions in developed and developing countries. Growing environmental awareness regarding the usage of wood-based cellulose packaging is anticipated to propel the market's growth. 

• Increasing demand for transparent cellulose films

Transparent cellulose films are breathable films of natural source with high gloss. It maintains the freshness of packed ingredient or products for a long time period with that it has got good chemical and heat resistance. Transparent films are prepared from cellulose originated in the plant cell wall. These cellulose films are quickly disintegrated in soil or are degraded into water producing biomass and carbon dioxide gas. Thus, increasing demand for transparent cellulose films is anticipated to drive the market growth rate.

Opportunities

• Increasing focus on adopting biodegradable and sustainable packaging

The extensive usage of conventional plastic mainly causes landfilling. For instance, according to the study by journal Science Advances, around 6.3 billion metric tons have become plastic waste out of 8.3 billion metric tons that have been created, in which 79% either is collecting in sloughing off or landfills in the natural environment as litter. Moreover, cellulose film packaging is compostable and biodegradable. It is capable of solving problems related to landfilling at a considerable extent. Consequently, companies are focusing on launching and innovating new cellulose films environmental and supporting sustainable packaging. For instance, Century Pulp and Paper which is an Indian company has introduced 'Natura Wrap' biodegradable cellulose film. This wrap is completely biodegradable and making it an eco-friendly product.

Restraints/ Challenges

• Low industrial use of cellulose film packaging due to mechanical characteristics

Cellulose films are constrained from wide industrial use owing to the mechanical characteristics and some barrier of the material compared to the conventional plastic. Furthermore, biopolymers such as cellular films are also limited by their poor resistance to water or moisture. However, these problems are anticipated to be circumvented through the growth of nano-composite technology. Therefore, low industrial use of cellulose film packaging due to mechanical characteristics is expected to hinder the market growth.
