Barrier Shrink Bags – packaging solution, which ideally suits for packaging of products with not constant shape and sizes.
Global Barrier Shrink Bags companies include Amcor, Sealed Air Corporation, Viscofan, TC Transcontinental and Kureha Corporation, etc. Global top 3 companies hold a share over 43%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, with a share about 32%, followed by North America and Europe.
The main market drivers include the following:
1. Downstream demand growth
Food industry:
As consumers' requirements for food safety and freshness increase, the demand for barrier shrink bags in the field of food packaging continues to grow. Especially in the packaging of perishable foods such as meat, seafood, and dairy products, barrier shrink bags can effectively extend the shelf life and reduce food waste. For example, the barrier shrink bags produced by Tianjin Bairui Polymer Materials Co., Ltd. achieve high barrier properties through multi-layer co-extrusion technology and are widely used in the packaging of fresh meat, seafood, and cheese, effectively preventing oxygen and moisture penetration and maintaining food quality.
Pharmaceutical industry:
Pharmaceutical products have strict requirements on the barrier properties of packaging materials to prevent drugs from being damp, oxidized, or contaminated. The application of barrier shrink bags in the field of pharmaceutical packaging is gradually expanding, especially in the packaging of drugs and medical devices that need to be stored for a long time.
Electronic industry:
The demand for moisture-proof and anti-static packaging of electronic products has increased. Barrier shrink bags also have a place in the packaging of electronic components and precision instruments due to their excellent barrier and protective properties.
2. Technological progress
Research and development of new barrier materials:
Such as high barrier films (such as PVDC, EVOH composite films), degradable materials (such as PLA-based barrier films), etc. The application of these materials improves the performance of barrier shrink bags and meets higher requirements for application scenarios. For example, Global New Materials (Nantong) Co., Ltd. introduced the world's leading PVDC barrier shrink extrusion production line to produce packaging materials with excellent barrier properties and environmental protection.
Improvements in production technology:
Improvements in technologies such as multi-layer co-extrusion and coating processes have improved the production efficiency and quality stability of barrier shrink bags. Tianjin Bairui has achieved uniformity and high barrier properties of the film through its independently developed multi-layer co-extrusion technology, and its products are sold to many well-known brands at home and abroad.
3. Policies and regulations
Environmental protection policies:
The global efforts to control plastic pollution have been intensified, promoting the use of recyclable or degradable packaging materials. The implementation of China's "dual carbon" goals and plastic restriction order has prompted companies to turn to environmentally friendly packaging materials. Barrier shrink bags, as degradable or high-barrier environmentally friendly materials, are supported by policies.
Food safety regulations:
Countries have increased their safety requirements for food packaging materials. For example, China's "National Food Safety Standard" has made strict regulations on the limit of migration of packaging materials, promoting the standardized application of barrier shrink bags in the field of food packaging.
4. Changes in consumer behavior
Increased attention to food safety and environmental protection:
Consumers are paying more and more attention to the safety and environmental protection of food, prompting companies to adopt safer and more environmentally friendly packaging materials. Barrier shrink bags have become the preferred material in the field of food packaging due to their excellent barrier properties and degradable characteristics.
5. Cost factors
Raw material price fluctuations:
The production cost of barrier shrink bags is greatly affected by oil price fluctuations, but through large-scale production and technological improvements (such as improving material utilization), companies can effectively control costs. For example, Tianjin Bairui has reduced unit production costs through automated production lines and supply chain optimization.
Improvements in production efficiency:
Improvements in production technology and increased automation levels have reduced the production cost of barrier shrink bags and improved production efficiency. Global New Materials has achieved efficient production by introducing internationally advanced equipment, meeting the market demand for high-quality barrier shrink bags.
Driven by strong demand from the food, pharmaceutical, electronics and other industries, the barrier shrink bag market is showing a steady growth trend. Technological progress and environmental protection policies are key factors driving market development, while international companies dominate the high-end market, and domestic companies such as Tianjin Bairui, etc. gradually increase their market share through technological innovation and large-scale production. In the future, with the further application of degradable materials and intelligent packaging technology, the barrier shrink bag market will usher in a broader development space.
