Biaxially Oriented Polyamide (BOPA) Films Market worth over $6bn by 2024

Published Date: November 2, 2017

Biaxially Oriented Polyamide (BOPA) Films Market size will surpass USD 6 billion by 2024; according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

The superior barrier properties of BOPA films will augment its market growth in the study period. The product has excellent mechanical properties such as resistance to puncture, burst, impact, and tear. It also exhibits high abrasion as well as flex crack resistance. Stretching the film in two directions enhances its dimensional stability providing optimum performance during converting and packaging. The product also provides excellent surface gloss and transparency which makes it suitable to be used in packaging applications where appearance and aesthetics are of high importance. The product has a high resistance to organic solvents, and chemicals such as acids & alkalis, making it a preferable choice for medical & pharmaceutical packaging. The product also possesses high barrier to gases and aroma. It has a lower oxygen transmission rate than other oriented films such as BOPP and BOPET. These factors will boost the product’s demand for flexible packaging purposes and will augment the BOPA films market development till 2024.
 


Rising high performance packaging material demand in the Asia Pacific food & beverage industry will drive the BOPA films market growth during the forecast timeframe. This high demand for packaging materials have been propelled by growing processed food consumption in China, Japan, India, and Korea owing to the dynamic and busy lifestyle of the people living in these countries. Additionally, high performance food packaging material demand has also been boosted by various government standards which regulate the quality of packaged food & beverage products. Growing awareness about the benefits of fresh food item consumption will also contribute to the BOPA films market growth as the product is widely used for packaging fresh and perishable items such as meat, dairy products, fish, vegetables, fruits, etc.
 

The limited technological availability for product manufacturing coupled with their high price will be the key factors hampering the product market growth in coming years. BOPA films are not commonly manufactured in all regions and most countries have to rely on imports from Asia Pacific to cater to domestic demand leading to increased product price. The stretching equipment needed for BOPA film production are expensive and are not easily available, with only a handful of companies selling these machines. This increases the capital costs and presents a major entry barrier for new players.
