With rising demand for fresh foods and beverages with extended shelf lives, the demand for advanced technology packaging technologies, such as nano-enabled packaging, is continuously on the rise since the past few years. Providing safer products with the same nutritional content remains the ultimate goal.

In contrary to traditional plastic packaging technique, nano-enabled packaging offers a sweeping range of benefits in terms of safety and food/beverage quality. To mention one of the top benefits, nano-enabled barrier packaging protects food products and beverages from water, vapor, carbon dioxide, and UV radiation.

Overall Market Dynamics

By the end of 2027, the global market for nano-enabled food and beverage packaging will reach hefty revenues of around US$ XX billion. Although the market is currently in a nascent phase, new technological innovations and increasing adoption rate among manufacturers as well as consumers, are collectively driving the market to staggering growth prospects.

North America, the ...
... largest market for nanotechnology-enabled food and beverage packaging, is led by the U.S. that has been attracting the maximum revenues globally. Canada also represents a significant market. The market landscape is extremely competitive, and is operated by some of the key players, such as Amcor Limited, Bemis Company, Inc., Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, L.L.C., Klöckner Pentaplast, Sealed Air, and Tetra Pak International S.A.

Nano-enabled Packaging is Functional Packaging

Nano-enabled packaging of foods and beverages currently constitutes the largest portion of the entire nanotechnology applications industry. For enhanced functionality and improved mechanical properties, plastic polymers are incorporated or coated with nanotechnology-based materials. These plastic polymers are often coated with nano-clay, which collectively act as a gas barrier.

Moreover, plastic polymers with nano-zinc or nan-silver oxide are proven to have an antimicrobial action. Pathogen detection is one of the most notable applications of nano-enabled food and beverage packaging. A type of nano-packaging also involves nano-sensors, which sense environmental changes, such as temperature, time, and other atmospheric factors. Commercial packaging of perishable food products that need refrigeration, often have TTI – time-temperature indicators.

Active packaging can be oxygen scavenger packaging or controlled release packaging. The other type of nano-enabled packaging is intelligent packaging, which currently represents a rapidly growing segment.
