Report Overview

Global Barrier Resin Market- Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2027

Global barrier resin market was worth USD 11.8 billion in 2020 and is further projected to reach USD 17.7 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period (2021-2027). Barrier resin is a plastic used in a variety of end-use industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, agriculture, and others. Gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen) and liquids cannot penetrate this packaging. The global barrier resin market has been driven by the growth of packaging in the medical field from emerging economies worldwide. Additionally, the prolonged shelf life of packaged food items, as well as the growing food and beverage industry, have contributed to the growth of the global barrier resin market.

Global Barrier Resin Overview

Resin is a natural product that is found in many plants, mainly in coniferous trees. A barrier resin is a type of plastic used to protect commodities from oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, vapor (water or solvent), and liquid penetration. As the name suggests, these resins or plastics act as a barrier between the packed commodities and other substances. Generally, barrier resins are made of PVDC, PP, PET, EVOH, PEN, and other materials. Because barrier resins have the above properties, they are widely used in various industries, including food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and others.

Growth Drivers

Rising Growth in the Food & Beverage Industry

In the food & beverage industry, barrier resin is used to improve shelf-life, food quality, protect against harmful UV radiation, and prevent odor by preventing atmosphere commodities from penetrating. Barrier resin is most commonly used to package food and beverage commodities, such as canned food, meat, milk, carbonated soft drinks, and other food items. In 2017, there were 36,486 food and beverage processing establishments (plants) in the U.S., owned by 31,401 companies, according to Census Bureau data. The meat processing industry is one of the most revenue-generating segments of the U.S. food and beverage industry. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, meat processing has been the largest single food and beverage component in the U.S., accounting for 24% of shipments in 2019. The growing food and beverage industry and the need for proper and advanced packaging materials have propelled the barrier resin market’s growth.

Increasing Use for Packaging in Medical Field

Barrier packaging is one of the most demanding flexible packaging industry for healthcare applications. Barrier resin such as EVOH is flexible, crystal clear, and glossy thermoplastic copolymer, which possesses excellent flex-crack resistance, and has high resistance to oils and organic solvents. As a result, they are best suited for packaging drugs in medical fields to extend the product’s shelf life. Barrier resins like these are used to protect drugs and medicine, such as covers, pouches, and bottle labels. With the use of barrier resins, pharmaceuticals can avoid using glass and cans, reducing the total packaging weight and improving ease of handling.

Restraints

Fluctuating Raw Materials Prices

Plastic resins are made from crude oil, naphtha, monoethylene glycol, and natural gas. Resins such as PE, PP, and PET are majorly manufactured from crude oil. In recent years, the fluctuating price of crude oil worldwide has disrupted the production of barrier resins, increasing manufacturing costs. In 2022, Bank of America predicts that crude oil could top USD 100 a barrel as the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, fluctuating prices around the world have hindered the growth of the barrier resin market.

Impact of COVID-19

Many enterprises around the world have been affected by the pandemic. Several supply chains, logistics, raw material suppliers, mining laborers, and others have been affected by COVID-19. The pandemic has also influenced the market of barrier resin market. Several enterprises, commercial buildings, industries, and other businesses have shut down due to the shutdown. Similarly, the global economy and GDP fell, showing a downfall in the global market. As a result, the global barrier resin market was negatively impacted by COVID-19. Despite this, the market is likely to grow strongly in the years following the pandemic.

Global Barrier Resin Market: By Type

The barrier resin market is grouped into PVDC, EVOH, PEN, PET, PE, PP, and others based on types. In 2020, the EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol) segment accounted for the largest share in the barrier resin market. EVOH's growth is because it is best characterized as a random copolymer. EVOH's most well-known and widely used properties are its gas barrier properties, particularly as an oxygen barrier in food packaging. Several research projects are underway to improve the barrier properties of EVOH resin, reducing the cost of production and increasing barrier properties.

Global Barrier Resin Market: Regional Insights

Geographically, the barrier resin market is categorized into North America, Europe, the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Among these, the Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest share in the barrier resin market in 2020 and is likely to dominate during the forecast period. The growth in the Asia-Pacific barrier resin market is majorly due to a large number of manufactures of barrier resin in the region. In addition, the rising food and beverage industry in countries such as China and India and the need for advanced packaging solutions to meet the industry's organic rising demand has accelerated the growth of the barrier resin market in the Asia-Pacific.  The Food and Beverage major PepsiCo announced in September 2021 that its Kosi Kalan Foods plant in Mathura, India, would be commissioned.
