The global stretch and shrink film market size is expected to reach USD 25.16 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising demand for the light-weight material for industrial packaging is expected to drive growth for the product over the forecast period. The introduction of superior shrink and stretch film materials such as Linear Low-density Polyethylene (LLDPE), extended Polyethylene (EPE) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is expected to further strengthen the pallet holding abilities of the films.
In addition, the development of bio-degradable stretch and shrink films by the leading manufacturers in a bid to counter the challenges of film disposal is expected to drive the demand over the forecast period. The demand is also expected to be driven by superior packaging properties such as improved printability, easier application and robust package sealing capabilities of the films. The low weight of the product results in a substantial decrease in the transportation cost thereby elevating the profit margins, resulting in the higher adoption of such packaging materials by the leading end-use industries.
Plastic packaging products are affordable and offer robust barrier properties, which contribute to their widespread penetration in food and beverage industry. With increasing government intervention in plastic product manufacturing, producers operating in stretch and shrink films packaging market are making efforts to offer products using eco-friendly and sustainable raw materials. Growing presence of large-sized packaged food, consumer goods, and pharmaceutical companies with robust penetration of distribution channels in Asia Pacific contributes towards the high market share of stretch and shrink films in the region. Additionally, upsurge in e-commerce sales in the countries of region such as India, China, Indonesia is expected to contribute towards the growth of the market during the forecast period.
