Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of high-barrier bopp films, rising demand for lightweight flexible packaging, growing adoption of metalized bopp films, expansion of high-speed film extrusion technologies, enhanced focus on printability and aesthetic appeal.

The expansion of e-commerce activities is poised to drive the growth of the BOPP film market in the foreseeable future. E-commerce, which involves online transactions and purchases of goods and services, is flourishing due to its convenience, wide product selection, and accessibility. Consumers can shop anytime, anywhere, with a vast array of products available at their fingertips through online platforms. BOPP films are well-suited for e-commerce packaging needs, offering a combination of strength, versatility, and visual appeal that enhances product protection and improves the overall customer experience. For example, according to the United States Census Bureau in February 2024, total e-commerce sales were estimated at $1.11 trillion in 2023, representing a 7.6% increase from 2022, and e-commerce total sales saw a 15.4% increase in 2023 compared to 2022. As a result, the rise in e-commerce activities is fueling the growth of the BOPP film market.

Major companies operating in the BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) film market are focusing on developing metalized capacitor-grade films to meet the growing demand for packaging solutions and electronic components. Metalized capacitor-grade films are conductive materials used in AC and DC capacitors to enhance their electrical performance and efficiency. For example, in December 2023, Cosmo Films, an India-based manufacturer specializing in packaging, labeling, synthetic paper, and lamination films, launched metallized BOPP films designed for capacitor applications. These films support the production of various AC and DC capacitors, which are used in electronics, industrial equipment, power electronics, automotive, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems. Manufactured in clean room conditions, the capacitor-grade films feature micro-slitting capabilities and are available in thicknesses ranging from 2.5 to 12 microns, making them ideal for high-precision applications in capacitors.

In March 2025, Toppan Printing Co. Ltd., a Japan-based provider of printing and packaging solutions, acquired an 80% stake in Irplast S.p.A. for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Toppan aims to strengthen its global film business by expanding its production capabilities and product portfolio in the flexible packaging sector. IRPLAST S.p.A. is an Italy-based provider of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films.
