Asia Pacific Active and Intelligent Packaging Market Size

Asia Pacific Active And Intelligent Packaging Market Analysis

The Asia Pacific Active and Intelligent Packaging market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period (2021 - 2026). With the recent outbreak of COVID 19, the active and intelligent packaging manufacturers were flooded with a pool of issues that are expected to only last for the short term. Some of the effects of the lockdown include supply chain disruptions, lack of availability of raw materials used in the manufacturing process, labor shortages, fluctuating prices that could cause the final product's production to inflate and go beyond budget, and shipping problems.

• The growing geriatric population, rising number of chronic ailments, and increased demand for over-the-counter pharmaceuticals contribute to the Healthcare segment's growth. Active packaging solutions are becoming more popular as pharmaceutical packaging rules become more stringent. The market for active packages is expected to grow throughout the projected period, owing to the increasing complexity of products that must be stored or transferred to remote locations while keeping their integrity.
• Due to market maturity, growth in demand for corrosion control packaging, desiccants, and microwave susceptors will be more moderate. However, when new products are introduced to execute these standard functions more efficiently, healthy increases will continue to be seen. New ecologically friendly corrosion control scavengers, for example, have been created, and desiccants are now integrated into pharmaceutical bottles or caps to provide moisture management.
• Time-temperature indicators, as well as smart labels and tags, are becoming more widespread. Although many of these devices were previously thought to be unneeded or prohibitively expensive, technological advancements that allow for low-cost printed electronics manufacture and the replacement of specialist electronic readers with smartphones will allow them to enter the mainstream. Recent legislation in the pharmaceutical and food industries, which forces manufacturers to make products safer and easier to recall, will push the rapid adoption of tracking-enabled or interactive packaging components.
• Although intelligent packaging is distinctly different from active packaging, the features of intelligent packaging enable the user to use it to check the effectiveness and integrity of active packaging systems, bringing added features and complementing each other. Intelligent packaging can be considered the enabler of the other packaging features that end-user industries can utilize, and in the process, help their customers offer quality products.
