- Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a critical packaging technology designed to extend the shelf life of perishable food products by modifying the atmospheric composition within packaging. It typically involves the precise control of gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen to inhibit microbial growth and oxidative spoilage
- The growth of the MAP market is significantly driven by increasing global demand for fresh, minimally processed, and conveniently packaged foods, especially across sectors such as poultry, seafood, meat, dairy, bakery, and produce. Rising consumer awareness about food safety, sustainability, and longer shelf life is accelerating the adoption of MAP solutions
- Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global Modified Atmosphere Packaging market with the largest share of 37.78%. This is primarily attributed to the region's vast food production and processing industries, coupled with a large and growing population demanding packaged and processed foods
- North America is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the Modified Atmosphere Packaging market, driven by a significant demand for extended shelf life and innovative packaging solutions
- The PE segment dominates the global Modified Atmosphere Packaging market with the largest share of 49.23% in 2024 due to increasing demand for lightweight, cost-effective, and recyclable packaging is driving the use of PE in modified atmosphere packaging
