Overall, vacuum packaging is an essential packaging solution for various industries in Europe, contributing significantly to food preservation, safety, and sustainability. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The rising focus on improving the shelf life of products is driving growth in the market. The long shelf life of products helps manufacturers keep the products for sale for a longer time and, in turn, reduces their wastage. Products are ensured to reach their destinations before they cease to exist by the long period of shelf life. Europe Vacuum packaging is effective in improving the shelf life of products.
Moreover, the need to extend the shelf life of food items and reduce waste has led to the emergence of resealable flexible plastic packaging. Packaging which allows consumers to open or close it after use is called as a resealable package. Reseal technology allows consumers to snack from the same bag or pouch and then secure the package for later use. Thus, the rising focus on improving the shelf life of products will drive the growth of the Europe vacuum packaging market during the forecast period.
The growing popularity of lightweight vacuum packaging is a primary trend in the market. The research and development of new lightweight vacuum packaging is growing in this market to reduce waste and enhance usability. Lightweight vacuum packaging is cost-effective and recyclable. It also increases the cost of production and bottling. Therefore, goods manufacturers are gradually adopting lightweight vacuum packaging.
Moreover, the growing popularity and demand for lightweight vacuum packaging materials in Europe have a positive impact on the overall demand for vacuum packaging. Several types of lightweight plastic resins are provided by various vacuum packaging suppliers in Europe which can be used for a wide range of applications. This film can be used in different applications such as dairy and ice cream, meat, fish and seafood, and ready meals. Such factors will drive the growth of the Europe vacuum packaging market during the forecast period.
The contamination of food during packaging is a major challenge in the market. In the food processing process, packaging is an important element. But it can be a source of contamination as well. Packaging materials such as plastics and paper may contain various hazardous chemicals which come in contact with food. The transfer of chemicals occurs when the food-contact materials are exposed to high temperatures. Contamination may also occur when the recycling packaging is used.
During packaging, various products are susceptible to cross-contamination. Between the different components of the filling machines, particles may get stuck, trapped, or clogged. Therefore, it may result in contamination of packaging. The contaminants could seep through the fillers to the containers and contaminate the product inside. Such issues related to contamination in food packaging may affect the growth of the Europe vacuum packaging market during the forecast period.
