Europe Barrier Coated Flexible Paper Packaging Market: Key Findings

As per coating type, water-based coating (Dispersion) segment is anticipated to emerge as the most lucrative segment among others. The target segment is projected to hold approximately 2/4th portion of the market share by the end of 2030. Owing to its high strength barrier coating and excellent resistant against moisture, the target segment is projected to gain significant momentum during the foreseeable future. 

Based on end use, the food segment is expected to generate mammoth demand for barrier coated flexible paper packaging. The target segment is anticipated to offer total incremental opportunity of US$ 20.2 Mn over the next five years, and likely to expand 1.1 times to its market value during the next eight years. 

Germany is expected to hold significant market share during the forecast period. Increasing manufacturing activities and expanding food industry are driving this growth. Furthermore, lucrative growth opportunities for key players are expected in France and the U.K. These markets are forecast to create cumulative incremental opportunity of US$ 25.9 Mn by the end of 2030.

Barrier coated flexible paper is mostly preferred in packaging application over printing. Therefore, this segment is expected to increase at a growth rate of 3.8% during the forecast period.

Certified Hot, Cold Sealable Coatings for Paper Bolster Company Credibility

There is an increased hype for sustainable and recyclable materials in the Europe barrier coated flexible paper packaging market. However, such solutions need to undergo rigorous tests and approvals from regulatory authorities. Hence, manufacturers should increase their investments in R&D activities to innovate in sustainable and recyclable materials. For instance, Henkel is found in many talks for its hot- and cold-sealable coatings for paper that are certified for paper recycling.

Companies in the Europe barrier coated flexible paper packaging market are focusing on developing adhesives and coatings that help to improve the recyclability of paper packaging solutions whilst replacing plastic packaging.

Renewed Focus on Waste Reduction, Sustainability Boosts Market Growth

The enhancing sustainability in packaging materials has become a key focus point for stakeholders in the Europe barrier coated flexible paper packaging market. The ever-evolving consumer packaging industry is witnessing growing consciousness for sustainable solutions and is facing regulatory pressures. Hence, manufacturers are offering its product portfolio in eco-friendly, compostable, and recyclable heat seal barrier coatings that are compatible with stand-up pouch paper packaging.

Water-based Dispersions, Bio-based Materials Replace Extruded, Laminated Films

For package materials that are composed of paper, assuring that the package is resistant to moisture, oil, and grease can be potentially challenging. Companies in the Europe barrier coated flexible paper packaging market are seen to take a step further in water-based coatings for paper-based packaging to minimize the use of conventional coextruded or laminated polymeric films such as polyethylene.

Compared to an extruded polyolefin heat seal layer, a heat sealable coating made from water-based dispersions are enabling thinner coatings, less capital investment, and reduced material usage. Companies in the Europe barrier coated flexible paper packaging market have fixed their goal to minimize the use of extruded or laminated films and replace them with bio-based materials in paper and boardstock solutions.

Well-engineered Paper Packaging Reduces Reliance for Materials Based on Fossil Fuels

Manufacturers are boosting their output capacities in flexible packaging designed for recycling. Huhtamäki Oyj - a global food packaging specialist, headquartered in Espoo, Finland, is gaining recognition for its new blueloop™ paper solutions that are made from renewable raw materials and compounded with recycling capabilities. In order to gain a competitive edge in the Europe barrier coated flexible paper packaging market, companies are collaborating with sustainability experts and technical advisors to enable packaging designs for recycling.
