DUBLIN, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Barrier Materials Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global barrier materials market, which reached a size of US$ 3.0 billion in 2022, is forecasted to experience significant growth in the coming years. The market is expected to reach US$ 4.1 billion by 2028, reflecting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.4% during the period from 2023 to 2028.

Barrier materials are various packaging and enclosure solutions designed to reduce or prevent the permeability of gases, liquids, or radiation. These materials effectively block oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapors, aroma compounds, and light, preserving the quality of the packaged contents.

Commonly used barrier materials include glass, metal, plastic, and laminated films, often combined with materials like polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, ethylene vinyl alcohol, polylactic acid, and ethylene-vinyl acetate to enhance sealing, optical clarity, and mechanical and barrier properties. Barrier materials find applications across diverse industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, automotive, and agriculture.

Key Factors Driving Market Growth

Packaging Industry Growth: The significant expansion of the packaging industry worldwide is a key driver for the market. The demand for effective packaging solutions from the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and other industries is fueling market growth. Rising awareness of food safety has led to the use of barrier materials in the manufacturing of packaging materials with extended shelf-life. These materials protect products like meat, fish, dairy, and agricultural produce from contamination and quality deterioration.
Product Innovations: Ongoing product innovations, such as the development of bio-based barrier materials, are contributing to market growth. Bio-barriers are recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable compared to traditional materials. Manufacturers are also working on colorful prints and innovative adhesives to bond layers together. Rising consumer spending capacity and increased research and development (R&D) activities for the production of scratch and abrasion-resistant materials are expected to further drive the market.
