Next Generation Packaging Technology Market: Segmentation

Next Generation Packaging Technology market can be segmented on the basis of technology and applications. By technology, the global Next Generation Packaging Technology market can be segmented into active packaging, intelligent packaging and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Active packaging interacts with the product and generally used for food packaging. It also helps to extend the shelf life of the product Active packaging can be further sub segmented into antimicrobials, oxygen scavengers, carbon dioxide scavengers, oxygen emitters, carbon dioxide emitters, ethylene scavengers, ethanol emitters and others (Moisture control & corrosion control, Gas Barrier, Flavour & Odour).

Second type of packaging technology is intelligent packaging, it adds additional information function on packaging in the form of sensors, indicators and tracking devices. Further, intelligent packaging can be sub segmented into Sensor such as gas sensor, bio sensor, others (fluorescence based oxygen sensor), Indicators such as time temperature indicator, freshness indicator, others (integrity indicators) and Tracking devices- RFID, NFC.

Third type of packaging technology is modified atmosphere packaging, this packs are created by evacuating some or entire air from the package and then replacing it with protective gas mixture.

By application global Next Generation Packaging Technology market can be segmented into food & beverages industry, medical & pharmaceutical industry, personal care industry, automotive Industry and other industry. Out of all this application, food & beverages application dominates the global smart packaging technologies market. It is mainly because of increasing demand of fresh and quality food, advancement into food packaging technology and growing food packaging industry. Medical and pharmaceutical sector is second largest in terms of application of smart packaging. It is mainly because of increasing demand of secure and anti-counterfeit pharma packaging solutions.
