The global edible films and coating market size reached US$ 2.8 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 5.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% during 2023-2032. Increasing demand for packaged food products with extended shelf life, the growing awareness about food safety, the need to reduce the use of synthetic additives and preservatives, and the rising trend of clean labeling and organic products represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Edible films and coatings are innovative solutions used in the food industry, offering numerous benefits in terms of preservation, protection, and aesthetic appeal. They are typically made from natural ingredients and provide a protective barrier around food products. The process of creating edible films involves combining edible polymers, plasticizers, and other additives to form a film-forming solution. This solution can be applied to the surface of food products or used to coat them entirely. Edible films form a physical barrier that helps extend the shelf life of perishable foods by slowing down moisture loss and oxygen permeability. This barrier also prevents the transfer of flavors, odors, and contaminants between food items. The advantages of edible films and coatings are manifold, such as they offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic packaging, reducing the generation of non-biodegradable waste. Additionally, they can enhance the appearance and appeal of food products by providing a glossy and visually pleasing coating. Edible films can also be used to incorporate functional ingredients, such as antimicrobial agents or antioxidants, into the packaging, imparting additional benefits to the food. Moreover, these films can be tailored to specific applications, allowing for customization based on the desired properties, such as thickness, flexibility, and solubility.
