Drivers and Restraints

Food wrap films are used to increase the shelf life of the food. The increased demand for on-the-go food across the globe is the key driver for the global food wrap films market. On-the-go food packaging requires wrapping to maintain the temperature. The barrier properties of the aluminum and high barrier plastics such as EVOH and polyamide isolates the food products from the environmental factors such as moisture, odor and atmospheric gases. The fast-paced life of people in developing and developed countries require better packaging of food items so that food can be consumed anytime irrespective of the time the food was prepared.

The barrier properties of food wrap films against oxygen, moisture, and odor help it to provide higher shelf life to the food products. The restraint associated with the food wrap films is the environmental concerns associated with the harmful effects of conventional plastic materials which are not biodegradable and is a potential threat to the environment. The toxic effect associated with plasticizers in PVC based food wrap films is hazardous for an individual. LDPE based food wrap films may contain harmful chemicals such as diethylhexyl adipate (DEHA). The direct contact of food with aluminum-based food wrap films might cause memory loss, dementia and other adverse effects on the health of the consumer.
