The Global Packaging Coatings Market size is expected to reach $5.7 billion by 2031, rising at a market growth of 4.5% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2023, the market attained a volume of 1,534.1 kilo tonnes experiencing a growth of 21.0% (2020-2023).
Acrylic resins can be formulated to achieve specific performance characteristics tailored to the requirements of different packaging substrates and end-use applications. For example, acrylic coatings can provide excellent adhesion to various substrates, including metal, plastic, glass, and paperboard, ensuring compatibility with various packaging materials. Consequently, the acrylics segment would acquire nearly 20% of the total market share by 2031. Also, the Russian market would utilize 25.81 kilo tonnes of acrylics by 2031.
The market is transforming towards sustainable and eco-friendly solutions in response to escalating environmental concerns. In addition, a key driver of this shift towards sustainability is the exploration of biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable coatings. Therefore, these aspects will boost the demand in the market. Additionally, Moisture, oxygen, light, and microbial contamination pose formidable challenges to preserving food and beverage products. In addition, oxygen exposure accelerates oxidative reactions that degrade flavor, aroma, and nutritional content, diminishing product quality and shelf life. Thus, these factors will pose lucrative growth prospects for the market.
However, A substantial proportion of the comprehensive production expenses in the market are attributed to raw materials. Additionally, coating manufacturers encounter an increase in production costs when the costs of raw materials escalate as a result of supply disruptions, geopolitical tensions, or vibrations in the global oil sectors. Hence, these aspects will hamper the demand in the market.
