Antimicrobial Packaging Market Estimated to generate revenues worth USD 11.92 billion by 2024 : Grand View Research,Inc.

The global antimicrobial packaging market is expected to reach USD 11.92 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing demand for confectionery & bakery products is expected to drive the global antimicrobial packaging market. Apart from bakery products, these agents are widely used in meat, poultry, seafood grain seeds, fruits, and vegetables.

Antimicrobial packaging releases active agents into food products which help to inhibit the growth of microorganisms and increase the shelf life. These releasing compounds maintain the food quality and reduce the need for preservatives and additives.

Antimicrobial active packaging is widely used in healthcare applications. These elements are specifically used to protect the plastic products, tablets and medical equipment against bacteria & fungal growth. Antimicrobial preservatives such as ethanol, phenol, cresol, parabens and bronopol can be added to pharmaceutical products to protect against microbial contamination.

However, antimicrobial agents derived from synthetic pathogenic sources are not found to satisfy consumers as they demand products extracted from natural sources. Such a factor is expected to hinder the overall market growth over the next eight years.
