Market Definition
Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer or EVOH is a flexible, crystal clear, and glossy thermoplastic copolymer with excellent flex-crack resistance, and very high resistance to hydrocarbons, oils, and organic solvents. It also has some of the best barrier properties to gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide making it especially suited for packaging of food, drugs, cosmetics, and other perishable or delicate products to extend shelf life. In comparison with many other common films, EVOH has superior barrier properties.
North America Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer (EVOH) Packaging Films Dynamics
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 others 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 is expected to drive the demand for EVOH films for packaging. In addition, EVOH is resistant to oil and organic solvents which makes it the right choice to store edibles and food items for longer duration. 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 that causes very little harm to the environment. These nature-friendly properties of EVOH packaging films will drive the demand for the material and will boost the market.
- Extensive Barrier and Antistatic Properties of EVOH Packaging Films
Rising industrial applications of barrier packaging materials are 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 are expected to increase the demand for durable EVOH packaging films that preserve the 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 EVOH packaging films is expected to create lucrative opportunities the 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 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 co-extrusion. Therefore, there is a need for EVOH resins to be processed on commercially available equipment using various processes such as co-extrusion coating for film and paper, co-extrusion film laminating, co-injection 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
