世界の水溶性フィルム市場規模は2023年に3億9,560万米ドルに達しました。今後、IMARC Groupは、市場は2032年までに6億1,110万米ドルに達し、2024~2032年の間に4.8%の成長率(CAGR)を示すと予測しています。急成長する包装産業、家庭用品向けの少量パックや単位用量パックの需要の増加、危険物質との直接接触から産業労働者を保護することへの関心の高まりなどが、市場を牽引する主要要因となっています。
食品包装における水溶性フィルムの需要の高まりが市場成長を強化
現在、多忙な勤務スケジュールや簡便ですぐに食べられる(RTE)食品に対する需要の増加が、水溶性フィルムの需要を高めています。水溶性フィルムは、デンプンやセルロースなどの食用材料から作られており、人間が食べても安全です。また、キャンディー、ドライフルーツ、スナック菓子の包装に使用されるため、別包装の必要がなく、廃棄物を減らすことができます。さらに、コーヒー、紅茶、ホットチョコレートなどの製品の1回分包装にも採用されています。さらに、水溶性フィルムは肉、鶏肉、魚などの生鮮食品を包むのに利用され、鮮度を保ち賞味期限を延ばします。
本レポートでは、市場構造、主要企業の市場シェア、主要企業の市況分析、主要成功戦略、競合ダッシュボード、企業評価象限などの競合分析を行っています。また、主要企業の詳細プロファイルも掲載しています。市場構造は断片化されており、製品の差別化が進んでいないため、大小さまざまな企業が参入しています。水溶性フィルム業界では、多数の参入企業が存在し、資本投資が最小限に抑えられ、流通網へのアクセスが容易であるため、新規参入の量は緩やかです。
水溶性フィルムとは?
ポリビニルアルコール(PVA/PVOH)フィルムとしても知られる水溶性フィルムは、水に溶ける合成ポリマーです。無色、無臭、生分解性、無毒性で、高い引裂強度、引張強度、耐穿孔性、粘着性を持っています。スムーズな機械操作、生産性の向上、費用対効果、包装の柔軟性を記載しています。また、高い耐溶剤性、ガスバリア性、優れたヒートシール性、印刷適性も備えています。その結果、水溶性フィルムは、農薬や医薬品の包装、曲面の印刷、ウィッグや刺繍の基材など、多様な用途で支持を集めています。また、世界中の幅広い産業で、ラミネート、包装、ラッピング用途にも使用されています。
COVID-19の大流行は製造企業にかつてない課題を課し、設備の一部または全停止につながった。また、包装部門に深刻な混乱をもたらし、サプライチェーンに支障をきたしたため、労働力不足と原材料価格の上昇を招いた。その結果、水溶性フィルムの生産量が大幅に減少し、包装会社の受注が遅れました。さらに、ポリビニルアルコール(PVA)、ポリアクリル酸(PAA)、エタン、ポリオキシエチレングリコール(PEG)、水酸化ナトリウム(NaOH)、助剤、水など、水溶性フィルムの製造に必要な原材料の動きも水溶性フィルムの生産に影響を与えました。しかし、多くの業者がサプライチェーンの管理と未曾有のパンデミック効果の克服に携わっているため、現在のところ影響は限定的です。
現在、水溶性フィルムはその無毒性と生分解性の特性から、殺菌剤や洗剤の包装に使用されています。水溶性フィルムはまた、臭気、芳香、バクテリア、ガスに対するバリアも容易にしています。製品の利点は、急成長する包装産業と持続可能で環境に優しい包装材料としての水溶性フィルムへの需要の増加と相まって、世界中の市場にプラスの影響を与える重要な要因の一つとなっています。加えて、化学産業において、危険物質との直接接触から作業員を保護するために水溶性フィルムが広く採用されていることも、市場の成長を後押ししています。さらに、水溶性フィルムは空気や油に強いという特性から、飲食品(F&B)業界で絶大な人気を博しており、主要市場参入企業に有利な成長機会を提供しています。さらに、各国政府は厳しい環境保護法や規制を実施しており、これが市場の成長を強化しています。このほか、新興国市場の大手企業は、新製品の投入や既存製品ポートフォリオの充実を図るため、研究開発(R&D)活動に多額の投資を行っています。また、ポリマー、合成化学、炭材料料化学をベースとし、技術や専門知識を駆使したユニークで先進的な構造の技術の生産にも注力しており、これが世界中の市場の成長を刺激しています。
The global water soluble film market size reached US$ 395.6 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 611.1 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% during 2024-2032. The burgeoning packaging industry, increasing demand for small or unit dose packs for household items, and the growing concerns for protecting industrial workers from coming in direct contact with hazardous materials represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Escalating Demand for Water Soluble Film in Food Packaging Strengthening Market Growth
Presently, hectic working schedules and increasing demand for convenience and ready-to-eat (RTE) food items are increasing the demand for water soluble film. It is made from edible materials, such as starch and cellulose, which are safe for human consumption. In addition, it is used in the packaging of candy, dried fruits, and snacks, which eliminates the need for separate packaging and reduces waste. Moreover, it is employed for single-serve packaging of products, including coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Additionally, water soluble film is utilized to wrap perishable foods, such as meat, poultry, and fish, for preserving their freshness and extending their shelf life.
Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is fragmented with several small and large players operating in the industry due to low product differentiation. The volume of new entrants is moderate in the water soluble film industry due to the presence of a large number of players, minimum capital investments, and easy access to distribution networks.
What is Water Soluble Film?
Also known as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA/PVOH) film, water-soluble film is a synthetic polymer, which is soluble in water. It is colorless, odorless, biodegradable, and non-toxic and possesses high tear and tensile strength, puncture resistance, and adhesive properties. It offers smooth mechanical operations, enhanced productivity, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility in packaging. It also provides high solvent resistance, gas barrier performance and excellent heat-sealing properties, and printability. As a result, water soluble film is gaining traction in diverse applications, such as packaging agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals, printing curved surfaces, and as base materials for wigs and embroidery. It is also used for laminating, packaging, and wrapping applications in a wide range of industries across the globe.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak imposed unprecedented challenges on manufacturing companies and led to a partial or complete shutdown of facilities. It also created a serious disturbance in the packaging sector and hampered the supply chains, which resulted in labor shortages and an increment in the price of raw materials. This further caused a significant drop in the production of water soluble film and order delays for the packaging companies. Moreover, the movement of raw materials required for manufacturing water-soluble film, including polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyacrylic acid (PAA), ethane, polyoxyethylene glycol (PEG), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), auxiliary agent, and water also impacted the production of water soluble films. However, the impact is currently limited, as many providers are involved in managing the supply chain and overcoming the unprecedented pandemic effect.
At present, water soluble films are employed in the packaging of disinfectants and detergents on account of their non-toxic and biodegradable properties. They also facilitate a barrier for odor, aromas, bacteria, and gases. Product benefits, in confluence with the burgeoning packaging industry and increasing demand for water soluble films as a sustainable and eco-friendly packaging material, represent one of the key factors positively influencing the market across the globe. In addition, the widespread adoption of water soluble films in the chemical industry for protecting industrial workers from coming in direct contact with hazardous materials is bolstering the market growth. Additionally, water soluble films are gaining immense popularity in the food and beverage (F&B) industry on account of their air- and oil-resistant properties, which are offering lucrative growth opportunities to key market players. Furthermore, governments of various countries are implementing stringent environmental protection laws and regulations, which is strengthening the market growth. Besides this, leading market players are heavily investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce new products and enhance their existing product portfolio. They are also focusing on producing unique and advanced structures of technologies based on polymer, synthetic chemistry, and carbon material chemistry, with technologies and expertise, which is stimulating the growth of the market around the world.
