Market Dynamics
The global sanitary food & beverage packaging market growth is driven by rising demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions and rising demand for sanitary packaging.
Rising demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions
The growing emphasis on eco-friendly packaging is expected to drive the sanitary food & beverage packaging market in the forecast period. The rising concerns over the use of plastic and its environmental impacts have been trending in the food & beverages industry. Various initiatives have been taken on the global level by multinational food chains and governments to reduce the use of plastic for a sustainable future. The supply of sustainable recyclables has exponentially increased in recent years. Manufacturers are tapping into new materials with advancing innovations in the field.
For instance, in 2018- the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture has published a call for projects on bio-based packaging. According to BMEL, bio-based materials make up less than 1% of the market for plastic food packaging. Thus, the call aims to promote new bio-based plastic packaging for food.
The trend of single-use foodservice packaging has emerged globally as it offers safety and hygiene. Recent scientific studies found that the danger of bacteria and micro-bacteria is much more in reusable packaging material than single-use materials. In the current situation, restaurants or foodservice are operating through takeout and delivery containers only. Such instances have boosted the market demand for sanitary food & beverage packaging.
Environmental impacts from the material
The sanitary food & beverage packaging market is impacted by the environmental impacts of the material. Most of the materials used to manufacture sanitary food & beverage packagings are not recyclable and are liable to cause serious environmental damage. With rising concerns for the use of plastic, the sanitary food & beverage packagings market will also be affected.
Moreover, several small companies are still unable to afford the use of sanitary packaging due to its high cost. Hence, the market growth is likely to remain restricted to large-scale multinational corporations. Expenditure on sanitary packaging solutions involves purchasing lightweight, flexible material and integration of the supply chain of the market, which is a costly process.
