"Controlled release packaging technology to gain maximum growth during the forecast period"

The controlled release packaging technology segment is projected to be the fastest-growing technology in the next five years. Controlled release packaging utilizes packaging as a delivery vehicle to efficiently bring the actives in specifically controlled rates over prolonged periods to the product to further improve its quality and safety. It regulates the concentration of the antimicrobial agents in products such as pharmaceutical and food at a particular targeted level, which is effective in deteriorating microbial growth kinetics and making it safe for consumption. This drives the demand for controlled release packaging.

The Asia-Pacific market is projected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period. It is also projected to have the largest market share due to increasing commercialization and increased demand for packaged goods in the region. The markets of China and India are projected to be lucrative due to their rising middle class population and rising consumer spending on products such as packed food products. The health-related benefits offered by antimicrobial packaging to various industries are also seen as a driving force of growth in this region.
