Antimicrobial Packaging Market 2024 | Mondi Plc, BASF SE, Dow Chemicals, Dunmore Corporation

The global Antimicrobial Packaging Market is projected to reach a valuation of USD 11.92 billion by 2024, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing demand for packaging in confectionery and bakery sectors can drive market growth. Antimicrobial packaging can prevent microbial growth by releasing active agents into foods and thereby increase its shelf life. These agents play a major role in maintaining food quality and minimizing the need for preservatives.

Antimicrobial packaging releases active agents into food products which help to inhibit the growth of microorganisms and increase the shelf life. These releasing compounds maintain the food quality and reduce the need for preservatives and additives.

Antimicrobial active packaging is widely used in healthcare applications. These elements are specifically used to protect the plastic products, tablets and medical equipment against bacteria & fungal growth. Antimicrobial preservatives such as ethanol, phenol, cresol, parabens and bronopol can be added to pharmaceutical products to protect against microbial contamination.

However, antimicrobial agents derived from synthetic pathogenic sources are not found to satisfy consumers as they demand products extracted from natural sources. Such a factor is expected to hinder the overall market growth over the next eight years.
