Rising health consciousness among the consumers in one of the most important factor anticipated to trigger the demand of smart packaging during the forecast period from 2017 to 2025. In current generation (generation Y), consumers are becoming more health conscious. Toxic materials used in traditional packaging, especially food packaging is hazardous to consumer health. Consequently, consumers prefer smart packaging in order to have safe and hygienic products. In addition, changing lifestyle of the millennial population coupled with rising disposable income is also expected to boost the demand of smart packaging in the coming years. Owing to the cumulative effect of rising disposable income and busy lifestyle, consumers are inclining towards packaged foods that are easy to cook and are willing to pay additional price for packaging solution that increase the shelf life of the products and retain proper nutritional values. This in turn is expected to accelerate the adoption of smart packaging by various end user segments especially food and beverage industries and pharmaceutical sectors.
However, high price of smart packaging is one of the most important factor anticipated to hinder the commercial success of these products during the forecast period. Using smart packaging increase the price of the end products, which in turn is expected to affect its demand negatively.
Among the different technology used in smart packaging, the active packaging segment held the largest market share in 2016 and is anticipated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Increasing demand for packaging solution that is capable of sensing and manipulating the packaging environment to maintain the microbiological quality of the products is the primary factor attributed to this segment’s dominance.
Geographically, Europe generated the highest revenue in the smart packaging market in 2016 and is followed by North America. On the flip side, Asia Pacific region is predicted to experience the most promising growth during the forecast period. Increasing application of smart packaging across various logistics industry pertaining to the rising utilization of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags at different levels in order to speed up the process of locating products and to facilitate the availability of various real time information is the most important factor anticipated to drive the demand of smart packaging in Asia Pacific region.
Some of the major players operating in the smart packaging market includes 3M (U.S.), PakSense (U.S.), BASF SE (Germany) and Huhtamaki Group (Finland) among others.
