December 12, 2024, Shanghai - With the continuous improvement of consumers' awareness of food safety and environmental protection, the food packaging industry is ushering in a profound change. From traditional materials to the application of innovative technologies, food packaging not only plays a key role in protecting product quality, but also takes important steps in promoting sustainable development.
Environmentally friendly materials lead the new trend
In recent years, with the implementation of policies such as plastic restriction orders and plastic bans around the world, food packaging enterprises have turned to use more environmentally friendly materials. For example, Xiamen Kolysen Packaging Integration Co., Ltd. A variety of food packaging products made of degradable materials have been launched, such as PLA (polylactic acid), PBAT (polyhexanoic acid/butylene glycol tererate), etc. These new materials not only reduce plastic pollution, but also decompose quickly in the natural environment, becoming the benchmark of the industry.
Intelligent packaging enhances the consumption experience
Intelligent packaging technology is changing the way consumers shop. By embedding sensors, NFC chips or QR codes and other technologies, intelligent packaging can monitor the freshness, temperature change and other information of food in real time to ensure the safety of food in the entire supply chain. In addition, consumers can get more information about the product by scanning the QR code on the package, and even participate in interactive activities, which enhances the connection between brands and consumers. For example, the "Scan Code to Win Prizes" launched by a well-known beverage brand has greatly improved consumers' sense of participation and brand loyalty.
Design innovation attracts young markets
In order to cater to the needs of the younger generation, many brands have begun to pay attention to the design and interest of packaging. For example, a snack brand adopts the form of a blind box, which increases the fun of buying; another pastry company has designed exquisite gift boxes with cultural characteristics, which are both practical and beautiful. These innovative designs not only improve the attractiveness of products, but also gain more market share for the brand.
Industry data and market prospects
According to the latest market research report, the global food packaging market will be 479.73 billion US dollars in 2023, and it is expected to grow to 808.4 billion US dollars by 2032. As one of the world's largest food packaging markets, China is promoting the high-quality development of the industry through technological innovation and policy guidance. It is expected that by 2029, the Asia-Pacific region will account for 43% of the global food packaging market.
Respond to the challenges of PFAS
Recent studies have shown that some food packaging may contain harmful chemicals PFAS (perfluoro or polyfluoroalkyl substances), which pose a potential threat to health. In this regard, regulators around the world are actively taking measures, such as the European Union proposing to ban the use of most PFAS, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has also announced restrictions on the use of certain oil-proof materials. Manufacturers are also actively looking for safer alternatives to ensure the safety of their products.
