Water Soluble Films Market is Expected to be Flourished by Increasing Usage in Agriculture and Chemical Industry Applications
Water Soluble Films Market |
Water
soluble films are biodegradable plastic films that dissolve in water. They find
major applications in packaging such as bouillon cubes, laundry detergents,
etc. where the packaging needs to be removed before use without leaving any
waste. The films offer consumers a convenient way of using the product and then
easily disposing of the packaging in water. They are manufactured using
polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), which is water soluble, as a raw material. Other
common water soluble resins used are polyvinyl acetate (PVA), ethylene maleic
anhydride copolymer (EMA), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and starch blended with
PVA.
The global water soluble films market is estimated to be valued at US$ 408.14
Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.8% over the forecast period
2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market
Insights.
Market Dynamics:
One of the major drivers favoring the growth of the water soluble films market
is the increasing usage of these films in agriculture and chemical industry
applications. Water soluble films are widely used as fertilizer bags,
agrochemical packaging etc. in the agriculture industry. Their use ensures
controlled and slow release of nutrients and agrochemicals into the soil. In
chemical industry, they are used for packaging of detergents, surfactants and
other cleaning products. As highlighted in the heading, their ease of
dissolving without leaving any waste makes them appealing for these
applications. Another key driver is the stringent environmental regulations
regarding use of plastics. Water soluble films are biodegradable and
environmental friendly which is boosting their adoption over conventional
plastic films.
Segment Analysis
The water soluble films market is segmented based on application into laundry,
detergent packaging, agro-chemical packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, food
packaging, and others. The detergent packaging segment dominates the market and
accounted for over 30% of the overall market share in 2022. Water soluble films
are widely used in detergent packaging as they helps in preventing moisture
from entering the packet thereby maintaining detergent quality and shelf life.
PEST Analysis
Political: Government regulations regarding use of single-use plastic are
supporting growth of water soluble films. Many countries have imposed bans on
plastic packaging to reduce pollution. This is favoring adoption of water
soluble films for packaging applications.
Economic: Rising per capita income is boosting demand for packaged food and
beverages globally. Growth of end-use industries such as pharmaceutical, food,
and detergent is positively impacting the water soluble films market.
Social: Increasing health awareness among consumers regarding benefits of water
soluble films over traditional plastics is a key factor driving their adoption.
Water soluble films have lower environmental impact as they dissolve in water.
Technological: Key players are investing in R&D to develop innovative water
soluble film formulations with improved properties. Advanced manufacturing
technologies are helping reduce production costs and enhance performance
characteristics of water soluble films.
