Marché des films d’emballage en copolymère d’éthylène et d’alcool vinylique (EVOH) en Asie-Pacifique – Tendances et prévisions de l’industrie jusqu’en 2029

Analyse et perspectives du marché

Le marché des films d’emballage en copolymère éthylène-alcool vinylique (EVOH) en Asie-Pacifique devrait connaître une croissance significative au cours de la période de prévision de 2022 à 2029. Data Bridge Market Research analyse que le marché croît avec un TCAC de 5,8 % au cours de la période de prévision de 2022 à 2029 et devrait atteindre 3 125 584,15 milliers de dollars d’ici 2029. Le principal facteur à l’origine de la croissance des films d’emballage en copolymère éthylène-alcool vinylique (EVOH) est l’évolution des préférences des consommateurs vers les emballages flexibles, la nature conviviale et durable des films d’emballage EVOH.

Le copolymère éthylène-alcool vinylique ou EVOH est un copolymère thermoplastique flexible, transparent et brillant, doté d'une excellente résistance aux fissures de flexion et d'une très haute résistance aux hydrocarbures, aux huiles et aux solvants organiques. Il possède également certaines des meilleures propriétés de barrière aux gaz tels que l'oxygène, l'azote et le dioxyde de carbone, ce qui le rend particulièrement adapté à l'emballage des aliments, des médicaments, des cosmétiques et d'autres produits périssables ou délicats pour prolonger leur durée de conservation. Par rapport à de nombreux autres films courants, l'EVOH présente des propriétés de barrière supérieures. Cependant, l'EVOH perd ses bonnes propriétés de barrière aux gaz lorsqu'il est exposé à l'humidité. Pour cette raison et pour optimiser à la fois le coût et les performances, il est fréquemment utilisé dans les films multicouches coextrudés comme le HDPE, le PP et le PET, qui présentent des propriétés de barrière à l'humidité supérieures.

Le film EVOH pour emballage possède des propriétés antistatiques qui empêchent les particules de poussière présentes dans l'atmosphère de se déposer sur l'emballage, empêchant ainsi la croissance fongique qui gâche l'arôme et le goût naturels des produits dans le récipient. En raison de la sensibilisation accrue à la propreté pour limiter la propagation des virus, la demande d' emballages qui préservent l'hygiène des produits placés dans le récipient devrait augmenter. Cela devrait à son tour faire grimper la demande de film EVOH sur le marché de l'emballage.

Asia-Pacific Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer (EVOH) Packaging Films Market Dynamics

This Section Deals With Drivers, Restraints, Opportunities, and Challenges of the Market:

Drivers

• Shifting consumer preference towards the flexible packaging

The packaging industry across the globe has been witnessing rising demand from food and beverages, pharmaceuticals & healthcare products and cosmetics & personal care among other for their products to be packed in flexible packaging. EVOH packaging films offer various other properties as well in addition to their flexible nature such as cost-effectiveness, high seal strength, displaying and easy transportation. Moreover, these films offer excellent benefits for packaging, such as extending shelf life and limiting product losses, which makes the adoption of EVOH films widespread across the packaging industry. These will boost its demand in the market and will lead to the growth of the EVOH packaging films market

• Customer friendly and sustainable nature of EVOH packaging films

The rising demand for organic products that do not make use of any synthetic elements and are perishable in nature is expected to drive the demand for EVOH films for packaging. Additionally, EVOH is resistant to oil and organic solvents which makes it a right choice to store edibles and food items for longer duration. In addition, unlike PVDC, EVOH films do not contain any harmful elements such as chlorine, metals and dioxins, which may cause endocrinological disorders in humans and also harm the surroundings. Therefore, EVOH films are environment-friendly and a recyclable product which causes very little harm to the environment. These nature friendly properties of Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer (EVOH) packaging films will drive the demand for the material and will boost the Asia-Pacific Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer (EVOH) packaging films market.

• Extensive barrier and antistatic properties of EVOH packaging films

Rising industrial applications of barrier packaging materials is triggering demand for raw materials with highly specialized properties among market players in the EVOH packaging films market. This has led many companies to focus on undertaking strategic decisions to gain competitive market share in the market. These properties in turn is expected to increase the demand for durable EVOH packaging films that preserves quality of products for extensive durations, by acting as a barrier to different gases and dust particles present in the atmosphere

Opportunities

• Rising consumer inclination towards green and sustainable packaging

Due to the low odor, high chemical resistance, and inertness, many EVOH grades are suitable for food, medical, and pharmaceutical packaging applications under FDA regulations. Thus, the growing demand for green and sustainable high barrier packaging films such as Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer (EVOH) packaging films is expected to create lucrative opportunities for film manufacturers in this Asia-Pacific Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer (EVOH) packaging films market.

• Rising demand of innovative packaging solutions in the food and beverage industry

High use of EVOH in the food and beverage industry, especially to avoid food contamination, is expected to be an important opportunity to fuel the demand in the Asia-Pacific ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) packaging films market. Moreover, these EVOH films can be easily molded into sheets, tubes, or bottles for their excellent barrier effect against gases and organic liquids. The need for innovative packaging solutions in the food and beverage along with other industries to attract environmentally-conscious consumers is foreseen to further augment the demand for EVOH packaging films worldwide

Restraints/Challenges

• Availability of alternative which induced the consumers

The rising number of environmentally-conscious consumers and manufacturers making a shift towards paper packaging solutions may hinder in the demand for EVOH packaging films market in the near future. Increasing availability of numerous alternative products to EVOH films, such as PE lamination, paper products and met-PET films for customers may limit the growth in this market

• Poor adhesion characteristics of EVOH resins

EVOH resins have very poor adhesion so use of modified polyolefin adhesive resins is done to bond the EVOH layer to the adjacent layer in coextrusion. Therefore, there is a need for EVOH resins to be processed on commercially available equipment using various processes such as coextrusion coating for film and paper, coextrusion film laminating, coinjection stretch blow molding, monolayer blown and cast film extrusion, powder coating and many more. This also affects the properties of EVOH films as similar to other extrusion polymers, EVOH resins can easily degrade by prolonged exposure to thermal energy, both drying and extrusion processing

• Susceptibility to degradation of high barrier films

As EVOH packaging films are created by combining two or even more co-extruded or laminate films to create a single homogeneous film with unique individual layers. These offer a number of qualities that monolayer films cannot match. However, because these multilayer films are made from a range of materials, their recyclability is a serious issue. As a result, recycling of various materials requires separate processing, which is not a viable option. Mechanical recycling also becomes a problem with multilayer structures containing more than one type of plastic, as they cannot easily be recycled.

• EVOH loses its good gas barrier properties when exposed to humidity

EVOH copolymers provide an excellent barrier to oxygen, gases and organic compounds permeation under dry conditions, but at high humidity, the oxygen permeation of the EVOH increases considerably, which further affects to quality of products packed. The effect of temperature and humidity reduces the protection of the inner and outer layers of the structures and the EVOH absorbs large amounts of water, which strongly reduces the barrier characteristics. Therefore, EVOH copolymers are not ideal polymers when it comes to resistance to humidity. The high sensitivity to humidity, can be a problem with high barrier properties of the EVOH films therefore, acting as a challenge to the Asia-Pacific ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) packaging films market.
