Recyclable PE Solutions Cater to Unmet Needs of Food Manufacturers
Growing environmental concerns associated with plastic has led to the introduction of recyclable coextruded polyethylene (PE) pouches. As such, plastic material segment dominates the moisture barrier bags market, in terms of value and volume, which is expected to reach an output of ~373,300 tons by the end of 2027.
In order to provide resistance toward vapor, odor, and light, manufacturers in the market for moisture barrier bags are undertaking extensive R&D activities to develop five and nine layer PE pouches. On the other hand, they are increasing production capacities to develop PE laminates of up to two to three layers to provide efficacious resistance against quality-degrading elements.
Companies in the moisture barrier bags market are increasing the availability of PE pouches that can be surface-printed and manufactured with coextruded films. As such, PE pouches are witnessing rise in demand from manufacturers in various end markets, since they can be designed with barrier properties on the basis of specific shelf-life requirements. Thus, recyclable PE bags are becoming increasingly mainstream in food packaging applications for dry and frozen foods.
Heat-sealable and Puncture-resistant Bags Prevent Degradation of PCB
Growing consumer dissatisfaction toward damaged and mangled electronic products has driven the demand for moisture barrier bags. As such, moisture is one of the main causes of degradation of PCB (Printed Circuit Board). Hence, manufacturers in the moisture barrier bags market are increasing their efficacy in moisture-proof packaging solutions to prevent degradation of PCB.

Outdoor and shipment applications of PCB are creating growth opportunities for manufacturers. As such, electrical & electronics end use segment of the moisture barrier bags market is estimated to reach an output of ~133,400 tons by 2027. Hence, manufacturers are tapping opportunities in shipment applications such as sea freight.
Companies in the market for moisture barrier bags are exploring opportunities to cater end user needs when PCB is being transported via long-distance travel through regions with humid climate. Moreover, growing awareness about moisture-proof packaging among consumers is boosting the uptake of moisture barrier bags. Thus, there is a growth in demand for heat-sealable and puncture-resistant bags for electricals and electronics.
Extensive R&D to Help Fine-tune Compostable Packaging of Food Products
Growing environmental footprint, owing to plastic packaging solutions has compelled market players to innovate in compostable packaging. Though compostable packaging constitute only a fraction of the global packaging market, companies in the moisture barrier bags market are increasingly focusing on food packaging. As such, food & beverages end use segment of the moisture barrier bags market is estimated to reach an output of ~145,700 tons by 2021. Hence, manufacturers are increasing their efficacy in compostable food packaging to reduce environmental impact.
Innovations in compostable food packaging are bolstering the credibility credentials of companies in the market for moisture barrier bags. However, manufacturers face limitations to comply with existing food industry requirements depending on the type of food. Hence, manufacturers are increasing research to fine-tune compostable packaging that matches oxygen and water vapor transmission rates.
