Therefore, consumer awareness of the technology is expected to positively impact the demand for EVOH resins in the food packaging market during the forecast period.

Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic crisis has transformed the way e-commerce functions. The rise in small and medium enterprises, especially in Russia, and the increasing number of start-ups have led to the adoption of online marketplaces for business. Existing organizations and large businesses tend to do business online because telecommunications and infrastructure are cheaper. E-commerce allows organizations to reach customers to achieve the desired business results easily. Hence, the strong growth in the online retail sector in Europe for EVOH films would provide lucrative opportunities for the market in the coming years.

Application Insights

Based on application, the market is segmented into films, trays, bottles, bag-in-box, and others. Manufacturers use EVOH bottles for their excellent barrier against gases and organic liquids. EVOH is often sandwiched between the bottle or jar's inner and outer plastic walls. A thin adhesive layer goes between the EVOH layer and the inner and outer wall. As a result, EVOH is often referred to as a multilayer barrier technology. These EVOH bottles are generally used for shelf-stable beverages. Beverages are highly perishable; thus, they can contaminate easily when it comes in contact with the outer environment. Due to these factors, the demand for EVOH bottles is increased among beverage manufacturers and is further expected to drive the segment's growth in the region over the forecast period.

(Mitsubishi Chemical Europe GmbH); Eval Europe NV; Nippon Gohsei (UK) Limited.

Which region held the largest share of the global EVOH resins market for food application?

In 2022, Asia Pacific held the largest share of the global EVOH resins market for food application. The rise in the number of consumptions of packed food such as meat poultry and seafood would cater the demand of recycled plastics in the region. The region is also flourishing owing to presence of manufacturing facilities and cheap labor. The strong economic condition and rising innovation in development in sustainable packaging is propelling the demand of EVOH resins in packaging. Companies are focusing on development of more sustainable packaging, such as they are increasing barrier properties of EVOH resins packaging and these packaging keeps food product fresh.

Based on application, which segment is leading the global EVOH resins market for food application market during the forecast period?

The films segment held the largest market share. Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) is a flexible, crystal clear, and glossy thermoplastic copolymer with excellent flex-crack resistance and high resistance to hydrocarbons, oils, and organic solvents. EVOH films have good barrier properties to gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, making them especially suited for packaging food and other perishable or delicate products to extend shelf life. In comparison with many other common films, EVOH has superior barrier properties. However, EVOH loses its good gas barrier properties when exposed to moisture.

Based on end-use, which segment is leading the global EVOH resins market for food application during the forecast period?

The meat poultry and seafood segment held the largest market share. Packaging of meat is critical, especially when it comes to fresh meat. Since fresh meat, poultry and seafood are perishable, and weight loss due to dehydration can increase the decay rate, extending shelf life remains a key objective for packaging. Implementing EVOH as a packaging material barrier extends the meat's shelf life. EVOH has outstanding barrier properties against gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and helium. These gases are widely used in modified atmosphere packages. EVOH resins for packaging have antistatic properties, which ensure that dust particles in the atmosphere do not settle down on the packaging to prevent microbial growth.

Which region held the fastest CAGR in the global recycled plastics market?

Asia Pacific is estimated to register the fastest CAGR in the global EVOH resins market for food application over the forecast period. Many APAC countries, such as China and India, are the world's fastest-growing populations. With a growing population, the demand for packed food is increasing, which is directly impacting the demand of EVOH resins for packaging. The strong economic condition and rising innovation in development in sustainable packaging is propelling the demand of EVOH resins in packaging. Companies are focusing on development of more sustainable packaging, such as they are increasing barrier properties of EVOH resins packaging and these packaging keeps food product fresh. The adoption of EVOH resins is increasing among manufacturers as they are being extensively used to extend the shelf life of food products. Further, the Asia Pacific market is expected to open many untapped opportunities and boost demand, driven by population growth, rising per capita income and consumer awareness of packaging to ensure safe food consumption.
