Latin America BOPP Film Market Analysis
The Latin American BOPP films market (hereafter referred to as the market studied) is expected to register a CAGR of 8.1% over the forecast period, 2022-2027. As BOPP films are more flexible and have superior sealing properties that help in faster packaging are expected to drive the demand for films in the packaging industry.
- These films are being increasingly adopted in the applications such as packaging, labeling, and lamination. The rising need to extend the shelf life of the products and maintenance of product quality, aesthetics and sustainability are some of the significant factors that propel the industry's vendors to adopt BOPP films.
- BOPP films are preferred in labeling because of their yield benefit (Lowest density of 0.55 for IML orange peel effect) and recyclability with PP containers. BOPP Films has a strong global demand driven by expanding flexible packaging industry.
- In addition, the BOPP films are getting used in capacitors as BOPP is a good electrical insulating material with a very high breakdown electric field above 700MV/m, which makes it a mostly commercialized polymer in capacitors.
- The key vendors are innovating new products keeping the demand for sustainable solutions in mind. For instance, in July 2021, Innovia films developed a uniquely engineered cavitated BOPP base film, Rayoface QBD, for pressure-sensitive labeling applications such as Household and Personal Care, Food and Beverage, and other consumer packaged goods sectors.
- Consumers have been more concerned about the environmental impact of discarded plastics in recent years. This includes concerns about chemicals in items that can leak into groundwater and the sheer volume of plastics that end up in landfills and the ocean. In response, film suppliers have removed numerous chemicals from their products, producing thinner gauged films and releasing liners to lower the total amount of plastic used.
- The supply chain for film materials was impacted by the Covid-19 epidemic like many other worldwide sectors. The epidemic has caused considerable challenges, and changes in consumer behavior, which has led suppliers to tailor needs to shift within the market.
