Nanotechnology can enable the development of nanosensors and nanomaterials for smart packaging that can give real-time monitoring and data analysis. To ensure the safe and appropriate use of nanotechnology in packaging, continual research and development is required.

The active packaging industry is anticipated to be worth $22.8 Billion by 2025, driven by factors such as expanding demand for convenience foods and ready-to-eat meals, growing awareness about food safety and quality, and technological breakthroughs in packaging materials and technologies.

Controlled release packaging is another important segment recording a CAGR of 6.6% in the nanotechnology packaging market. The growth in this market is driven by factors such as increasing demand for functional and innovative packaging solutions, rising awareness about food safety and quality, and advancements in nanotechnology and materials science.

From 2020 to 2026, the food and beverage segment is predicted to increase at a 14.1% CAGR. This growth is driven by factors such as:

• Increased packaged and processed food demand.
• Rising consumer awareness about food safety and quality.
• Technological breakthroughs in packaging materials and technologies.

The pharmaceutical segment is anticipated to be worth US$ 10.9 Billion by 2025, driven by factors such as the rising need for new drug delivery systems, increased knowledge about drug safety and quality, and breakthroughs in nanotechnology and materials science.

The nanotechnology packaging market in North America was valued at US$ 5.96 Billion in 2020, with an expected growth rate of 12.3% from 2021 to 2026. This growth is fueled by the need for sustainable packaging, increased research and development, and the abundance of packaging manufacturers in the region.

Competitive Landscape:

The nanotechnology packaging industry is becoming fragmented as firms focus on transitioning toward nano packaging due to its significant advantages for end-user packaging. The majority of players are still focused on traditional packaging, but different acquisitions, collaborations, and new inventive technologies are transforming the market into a competitive one.

Nov 2019 – The NanoPack Project, which is funded by the EU, conducted a series of antimicrobial efficacy tests on its novel film to demonstrate its capacity to extend shelf life. During the testing, NanoPack’s film demonstrated the ability to increase the shelf life of perishable commodities such as bread, cherries, and yellow cheese, even though the film is based on a combination of natural nanomaterials and essential oils to improve food safety and reduce waste.
