Nano-enabled Packaging Market- Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028

Global Nano-enabled Packaging market is expected to grow significantly through 2028 owing to the increasing demand from the food & beverage sector. In 2018, paper-based packaging increased by 24 % for food and beverage products.

One of the sectors with the fastest rate of growth is nanotechnology, which is boosting a number of sectors, including the packaging sector. More bakery, meat, fruit, and vegetable products, as well as other processed food products, use nano-enabled packaging. In addition, advancements in nanotechnology and increased global investments, food safety regulations introduced by governments around the world have boosted the market in the projected year.

Rising Demand From Food & Beverage Sector

Recent advancements in product safety, shelf life extension, economic effectiveness, environmental concerns, and customer convenience have all contributed to the evolution of food and beverage packaging. Active packaging, a revolutionary approach to food and beverage packaging, can allow the abovementioned extension and improvement in quality. Traditional packaging has certain limitations when it comes to increasing shelf life. Owing to this, applying nanotechnology to the food and beverage industries improves the antibacterial, mechanical, and barrier properties of food packaging as well as the color, flavor, taste, texture, and consistency of food. It also increases the bioavailability and absorption of nutrients from food. Customers may be informed about a product's safety if it includes nanoparticles. Preservatives can be released by it, extending the life span of packaged foods.

Moreover, the food and beverage packaging industry uses a broad variety of nanosensors, including array biosensors, electronic noses, nanocantilevers, nano-test strips, nanoparticles in solution, and others. Throughout the food supply chain, packaging containing nanosensors can be used to track the exterior or interior conditions of food products, pellets, and containers.

For instance, According to BusinessDay, Nigeria invests USD 380 million in food packaging technology in 2021

Therefore, increasing demand for the food & beverage sector is expected to drive the growth of Global Nano-enabled Packaging market during the forecast period.

Growing Demand from Pharmaceutical Sector

By extending the shelf life of the packaging and serving as an antibacterial barrier, nanotechnology-enabled packaging gives medicines chemical and physical stability. It helps to restore the medical characteristics of the drugs and shields them from environmental toxins. This type of packaging helps in protecting drugs from light, moisture, and air.

For instance, in September 2022, the Union Health Ministry of India made quick response (QR) codes mandatory on the packaging of 300 life-saving drugs.

All these factors drive are expected to drive the Global Nano-enabled Packaging market demand during the forecast period.

Active Packaging will be the key Technology

Nanoparticles are used in active nano-enabled packaging to shield them from outside effects. This process makes use of oxygen scavengers, carbon dioxide producers, water vapor removers, ethanol releasers, and ethylene removers. This technology is anticipated to meet the future needs of both the food and beverage industry and the pharmaceutical industry.

Furthermore, intelligent and smart packaging is made to detect microbiological or biochemical changes in the food, such as the development of particular infections or the presence of particular gases that might cause food spoiling. Additionally, this technology serves as a tracking tool to guarantee food safety or prevent product fraud.

Therefore, with the development of packaging technology, the demand for Global Nano-enabled Packaging market increases during the forecast period.
