It will grow to $38.07 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including increasing competitive pricing dynamics, rising disposable income levels, and the expansion of the cosmetics and personal care industries. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass advancements in BOPP film technology, integration of smart packaging features, increasing demand for specialty BOPP films, and a shift towards matte and metallic finishes in BOPP film applications.

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.

Leading companies in the BOPP film market are focusing on developing barrier-metalized films to address the growing demand for packaging solutions with enhanced barrier properties. These films provide extended shelf life and protection against moisture, oxygen, and other external factors. Barrier metallization involves applying a thin layer of metal, such as aluminum, to a substrate to create a protective barrier. For instance, in December 2021, Cosmo Films, an India-based producer of bi-axially oriented polypropylene films, introduced an enhanced barrier-metalized BOPP film. This film is designed for packaging applications that require exceptional moisture resistance, excellent oxygen barrier properties, and strong adhesion to the metal layer. It is suitable for adhesive lamination with a thickness range of 15 to 18 micrometers and serves as a central layer in multilayer laminate constructions.

In February 2022, TOPPAN Holdings Inc., a Japan-based printing company, completed the acquisition of Max Specialty Films Limited, an India-based manufacturer of biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films. This strategic acquisition aims to strengthen TOPPAN Holdings Inc.'s presence in the packaging industry, expand its market reach in key sectors, and solidify its position as a leader in the packaging and materials segment.

BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) film is a type of polypropylene film that undergoes stretching in both the machine (longitudinal) and transverse (lateral) directions during its manufacturing process. This biaxial orientation enhances the film's strength, clarity, and dimensional stability while retaining its flexibility.

The primary types of biaxially oriented polypropylene film production methods are the tenter method and the bubble method. The tenter method involves stretching the polymer in both directions using a tenter frame, resulting in a flat and uniform film. This segment includes various material types such as silica-based, aluminum-based, polymer-based (such as ethyl vinyl alcohol (EVOH)), and others. These films find applications in wraps, bags, labels, and are utilized across different end-user industries including fast-moving consumer goods, medical and pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors.
