Packaging Innovations in Water-based Barrier Coatings to Drive Market
The functional and barrier coatings for paper market is largely fragmented, since tier 2 regional and local companies account for ~70-75% of the market share. Thus, leading players are facing tough competition from emerging players. However, lack of clarity and understanding toward regulations pose as a challenge for market players. For instance, Asia Pacific accounts for the share of the functional and barrier coatings for paper market. India being one of the fastest growing economies in Asia Pacific faces challenges when it comes to compliance with regulations. This phenomenon has stunted the pace of innovation in India functional and barrier coatings for paper market.
In order to increase awareness about regulations in the India functional and barrier coatings for paper market, manufacturers are leading by example and are increasing R&D to develop water-based barrier coatings to promote sustainability. These novel innovations are replacing conventional plastic bags and cups.
Analysts’ Viewpoint
Sustainability, recyclability, and repulpable paper packaging are some of the key focus points for manufacturers in the functional and barrier coatings for paper market. Groundbreaking innovations include the introduction of bio-based barrier coating solutions, predominantly made for paper cups.
However, recycling in developing and developed economies, such as the U.S., only sum up to a fraction of the millions of single-use paper cups that are disposed daily worldwide. Hence, manufacturers should introduce biodegradable paper cups and increase awareness about importance and need for recycling.
Companies should participate in trade fairs to showcase their innovations in functional and barrier coatings for paper and bolster their credibility credential in the global market landscape.
Functional and Barrier Coatings for Paper Market: Overview
- According to Transparency Market Research’s latest market report on the functional and barrier coatings for paper market for the historical period of 2014-2019 and forecast period of 2019-2027, continuous rising demand for functional and barrier coating for paper in packaging applications is anticipated to drive growth of the global market. The use of barrier coating in place of adding barrier layers on paper cuts down production costs, and saves time within the supply chain.
Rising Applications in Food Packaging to Boost Use of Functional and Barrier Coatings for Paper
- Paper is lightweight and offers recyclability for various applications such as printing, writing, packaging, and household products, among others. However, porosity and hydrophilicity of paper as a substrate may impose complications such as permeation of gases, water, and oils, especially for packaging applications. Control over wetting and barrier properties is essential to maintain the mechanical properties and shape of a package, which limits the quality loss of packaged goods and fiber swelling. These functionalities can be improved by internal sizing or treatment of paper with external functional and barrier coatings.
- Functional and barrier coatings for paper find application in end-use industries such as food, beverages, personal care, and pharmaceuticals. Most food products are packaged in boxes, labels & tags, and folding cartons that are coated with functional and barrier coatings. This is necessary as these packages that often come in contact with vapor and moisture.
- Prominently used functional and barrier coatings for paper include poly and pigment coatings, attributable to their high barrier properties concerning shelf-life requirements. Furthermore, multi-layer packaging formats are vulnerable to non-recyclability and non-biodegradability. With increasing research & development activities, printing and packaging suppliers can offer solutions with a longer shelf-life along with improved user experience with the help of functional and barrier coatings. These factors draw consumers’ attraction towards the aesthetic appeal of the packaged products, along with improving functional and barrier properties of the packaging.
- Packaging converters use functional and barrier coatings for paper to improve aesthetics and preserve product quality and integrity. Functional and barrier coatings for paper reduce the chances of transmission of air, moisture, as well as flavor in or from the package. These coatings can be applied to boxes, folding cartons, and other packaging & printing substrates to improve their performance.
