Metalized Film Market Segmentation

The Polypropylene (PP) Is Expected to Dominate The Market In The Forecast Period

Based on the Material Type, the Metalized Film Market is divided into Metallized Polypropylene (PP), Metallized Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Metallized Polyethylene (PE), and Others. The Polypropylene (PP) category held the highest proportion of the Metalized Film market. PP Metalized Film has a high moisture resistance but a low oxygen barrier. This film is metallized to improve its barrier properties and lengthen the shelf life of packaged foods. Its chemical resistance and low odor make it ideal for FDA-regulated applications. The use of PP Metalized Film in packaging, particularly for products with a long shelf life such as food, baked goods, snacks, and confectioneries, is a significant growth driver in this industry. Furthermore, the film is widely used in the electrical and electronics industries, particularly in communication equipment, timing circuits, and filter networks, which supports the glass fiber Metalized Film market.

Aluminum Metal Segment Is Expected to Dominate the Market in The Forecast Period

By Metal, the Metalized Film Market is typically segmented into Aluminum, Nickle, Copper, and Others. Aluminum Metalized Film is expected to be the largest metal segment over the forecast period. Aluminum Metalized Film has excellent water vapor and gas barrier capabilities, strong metal bonding strength, a glossy finish, good lamination adhesion, and advantageous thermal and mechanical properties. Its applications include nibbles, frozen foods, confectionary, frozen desserts, and coffee pouches, among others. Stand-up pouches, in particular, allow for the printing of high-quality, glossy graphics, boosting their aesthetic appeal and making them appealing to consumers. These factors are expected to boost demand for aluminum Metalized Film in the European market.

Market Dynamics

Growth Drivers

Busy Lifestyles Drive Metalized Film Demand for Convenient Food Packaging

Due to consumers' hectic lifestyles, which favor simple food packaging, Metalized Films are in high demand. These films provide a dual benefit by prolonging product shelf life and improving appearance. As the food and beverage sector moves toward lighter, more user-friendly packaging, Metalized Films are the favored choice since they are lighter than glass and cans. They also serve an important function in protecting the scent and quality of sensitive foods such as coffee and preventing odor absorption. They not only improve the consumer experience but also reduce food waste by extending product shelf life due to their superior barrier characteristics against oxygen, moisture, vapor, and fragrance.

Metalized Films are Increasingly Being Used in the Electronics Industry

Flexible electronics are gaining popularity due to their compact, lightweight, and adaptable construction. They include products such as organic light emitting diodes and organic thin-film solar cells. Owing to the reactivity of their metals, these devices are vulnerable to moisture-related damage. Metallicized coatings are increasingly being used in the electronics industry to protect against such degradation. Additionally, BOPP Metalized Films are the favored choice for more than 50% of film capacitors. These films have a high electrostatic capacitance, a low dissipation factor, a high dielectric constant, and little self-heating. This desire is driving considerable expansion in their applications across a variety of industries, including consumer electronics, energy, automotive, and others.

Restraints

Strict Regulations in Multiple Nations May Hamper the Growth

Government laws regarding the usage of Metalized Films in the automotive industry vary by nation. These laws largely address window films, which can impair visibility and pose safety concerns. For example, due to their potential to impede driver visibility and safety, 100% black tint window films are generally forbidden globally. Vehicles are mandated to have 100% transparent films in various countries, including Portugal, Belarus, Libya, Kuwait, Bolivia, Iraq, Kenya, and Pakistan, for safety concerns. While most European countries prohibit Metalized Films on front windshields and side windows, they may be permitted on rear windows and side windows if certain certification and approval conditions are met. These laws may have an impact on the expansion of Metalized Films in the automotive industry.

Recent Developments

  • Flex Films introduced metallic polyester ultra-high barrier film 'F-UHB-M' as an aluminum foil replacement in flexible packaging solutions in 2021.
  • Nobelus introduced gilded metallized, a thermal printed film with a golden luster. The film is aimed at the premium packaging market.

Impact of Covid-19 on Metalized Film Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised demand for healthcare services, specialized food items, and medical and pharmaceutical products. As a result, the market for metalized films in these items' packaging originally expanded. Tier I and tier II manufacturers and suppliers are the primary significant players in the metalized films industry. Manufacturing and supply chain facilities for these organizations are spread across many nations. However, later in the pandemic, in reaction to the COVID-19 outbreak, some of these players briefly suspended production. Furthermore, the pandemic had harmed the supply chain in the metalized films business. As a result, demand for metalized films is expected to fall in 2020.
