Demand for Polypropylene to Rise at Most Promising Pace

Of the key materials used in vacuum packaging, the segment of polyethylene (PE) is expected to dominate the global vacuum packaging market, accounting for over 38% of the overall market by 2016. The segment is also expected to remain the dominant contributor to the revenue of the global vacuum packaging market throughout the forecast period, but witness stagnant growth, registering a 4.6% CAGR over the forecast period.

The rate of growth of the polypropylene (PP) segment is expected to outpace that of the other key material types used for vacuum packaging over the forecast period. The segment is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.7% over the period between 2016 and 2024, and grab a bigger piece of the pie by the end of the forecast period. High-barrier films and extended shelf life of polypropylene packaging are the key factors leading to the material's increased adoption in the vacuum packaging industry. Segments with vinyl content i.e. polyvinylchloride (PVC) and polyvinylidenchloride (PVDC) are estimated to collectively account for over 20% of the market by the end of 2016 and are anticipated to lose 0.5% of their share in the market by 2024.
