  Functional qualities such as antioxidants and scavenging is driving the market growth

  
  

The usage of nanoparticles results in a product with a longer shelf life, and functional properties like antioxidants and scavenging are major drivers of the revenue growth of the worldwide nanotechnology packaging market. Nanoparticles are also used to build nanosensors that measure physical, chemical, and biological changes in food throughout processing and detect food contaminants. Specially designed nanosensors and nanodevices are used to identify diseases, chemicals, and poisons. Bacteriostatic and bactericidal nanoscale compounds reduce microbial activity and prevent growth. Low gas permeability of nanocomposites enhances the barrier properties of the packaging as well as its temperature and moisture resistance. Utilising carbon nanotubes encourages the elimination of CO2 or the assimilation of unpleasant flavours, and is anticipated to further accelerate revenue growth.

The increase in demand for packaged food products around the world is what is driving the nanotechnology packaging market. All end use application industries are beginning to accept and demand nanotechnology packaging due to its tremendous advantages over conventional packaging methods. Over the years, the packaged meat sector has grown exceptionally, which has led to one of the largest needs for packaging nanotechnology. One of the biggest uses for the technology is in packaging for pharmaceutical products. Medical and pharmaceutical developments over the past few decades have necessitated improved packaging for better defence against external elements like light, moisture, and air. Additionally, the significance of medication packaging in modern treatments' drug delivery systems is critical, driving need for improved packaging technologies such drug packaging with nanotechnology.

The food and beverage industry is anticipated to drive the deployment of packaging solutions that can extend shelf life, preserve product quality, and be traceable. The demand in the pharmaceutical and personal care markets is anticipated to increase as a result of rising investments in research and development activities. Demand is expected to increase during the projected period as more processed food products like meat, fruit, and vegetables are packaged using nanotechnology. Government rules encouraging the use of nanotechnology packaging to maintain food safety have further fueled the business. For instance, the FDA suggests using nanotechnology in packaging for food and drinks. Thus, driving the Nanotechnology Packaging market revenue.
