Breathable packaging films are also broadly used as the roofing membranes.

Microporous Breathable Packaging Films Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increase the demand of biodegradable packaging in food sector

Microporous breathable packaging films is providing the large number of finest holes to transfer the enough amount of oxygen into the packaging headspace. In fact, most of the commercial microporous breathable packaging are made up from non-biodegradable plastic materials. But, these polymers are well identified by their negative ecological significances. Polycaprolactone (PCL) and Polylactic acid (PLA) were selected as biodegradable polymers to design this packaging. These bio-renewable polymers were used in several food packaging applications because of their contribution to the environmental sustainability.

• Increase the demand for various purposes

Microporous breathable films are also used for manufacturing packaging solutions, for instance packaging rolls, pouches, and bags, these packaging can be used for packing fruits and vegetables to maintain hygiene and freshness. These films are used in the fruit, food, and vegetable packaging industry as they allow smoke permeation, seal packaging, cook-in of food products and keep vegetables and  fruits dry, which escalations the shelf life of the product.

• Hygiene and personal care

Hygiene applications considered as the major share of the overall microporous breathable packaging film market. Microporous breathable packaging films are extensively used in packaging of hygiene products for instance disposable sanitary napkins, disposable baby diapers, and disposable adult diapers. Increasing awareness about health & hygiene are the key factors for driving the breathable packaging films market in hygiene applications. The growing demand for premium diapers in both developed and developing countries will further drive the microporous breathable packaging films market.

Opportunities

The penetration level in developing countries is still very low of hygiene products. Countries with high birth rates and large populations have low penetration rates. However, the demand is anticipated to grow considerably with the upsurge in growing awareness regarding health and hygiene, per capita income, and changing consumer preference. The emerging markets deliver an opportunity for growth across the globe. The challenge is to uplift and educate women’s social status so that they can have access to hygiene products without difficulty. Furthermore, increase in emerging new markets and strategic collaborations will act as market drivers and further increase valuable opportunities for the market's growth rate.

Restraints/ Challenges

Microporous breathable packaging films have polyethylene, polyester, and polypropylene as the base feedstock. Majority of raw materials used for producing the packaging films are derivative of petroleum. Polyester is produced from water, coal, air, and petroleum. The prices of crude oil are directly proportional to costs of polyester. This rate factor is the major restraint to microporous breathable packaging films market.
