Stretch Packaging Market Analysis

Stretch Packaging Market Overview

Stretch Packaging Market Size was valued at USD 4.33 Billion in 2023. The Stretch Packaging industry is projected to grow from USD 4.48 Billion in 2024 to USD 6.13 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Food and beverage sector expansion and global pharmaceutical industry growth are two important variables impacting growth.The worldwide packaging business is moving toward more efficient and faultless packaging solutions. As a result, there has been a rapid increase in the supply of new stretch wrap machines and the substitution of shrink wrap machines with stretch wrap machines on the global market. Stretch films' future in the packaging sector isn't just about incorporating more connecting technologies.  

Goals including robust and durable packaging and product safety and barrier qualities will necessitate technological breakthroughs. Bio-based materials are anticipated to play a crucial part in this, allowing stretch filmmakers to meet their sustainability targets. Stowage and distribution markets, as a result of increased retail commerce and imports and exports between regions, all contribute to the worldwide stretch films packaging market's growth. On the other hand, Stretch films are less moisture resistant than shrink film and hence provide less climatic protection. Biodegradability has also developed as an environmental concern, hindering the stretch film market's growth to a greater level. As a result, governments in various nations have begun to support bio-based technologies, creating an opportunity for market participants to create a biodegradable stretch film.

Recent Development

Mar 2022 A private equity-backed Swedish business has purchased a £30 million revenue stretch-film producer based in Telford. Eurofilms Extrusion, joining the Trioworld Group, serves customers in the distribution, beverage, food, and industrial packaging industries. Eurofilms has made significant progress in recent years, assisting the safer transportation of products on the UK and European highways. The impressive array of innovative items and excellent customer service are impressive. The company has made significant investments, and management concentrates on growing the product offering to clients.

Mar 2022 DUO PLAST and BASF have launched the first stretch film appropriate for use in potentially explosive atmospheres by equipping DUO EX-TRA with the static dissipative polymer Elastostat. Due to the static charge, conventional stretch films are not allowed for volatile regions, and pallets must be resealed before entering. Elastostat, a dissipative polymer based on TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) from BASF Polyurethanes GmbH, has been added to DUO EX-TRA, a PE blown film created by DUO PLAST.
