Global Water Soluble Films Market Size study & Forecast, by Type (Cold Water-soluble Films, Hot Watersoluble Films), by Dissolution Rate (Fast Soluble Films, Medium Soluble Films, Difficult Soluble Films), by End-User Industry (Packaging, Textile, Pharmaceuticals, Others) and Regional Analysis, 2023-2030

Global Water Soluble Films Market is valued at approximately USD 381.8 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.9% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Water Soluble Films are typically made from water-soluble polymers, such as Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), which can break down in the presence of water without leaving any residue. The primary characteristic of water-soluble films is their ability to dissolve or disperse in water, making them useful in various applications. The Water Soluble Films Market is expanding because of factors such as the rising demand for food and beverages and the growing demand for pharmaceuticals. As a result, the demand for Water Soluble Films has progressively increased in the international market during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Water-soluble films can be used in packaging to enhance food safety and freshness. The demand for packaging solutions that extend the shelf life of food and beverages can influence the adoption of water-soluble films. According to Statista, in 2021, the global market of functional foods and beverages reached USD 281.14 billion and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 9.5% between 2021 to 2028. Another important factor that drives the Water Soluble Films Market is the increasing demand for pharmaceuticals. Water-soluble films can aid in the rapid disintegration of dosage forms, ensuring quick absorption of the medication. This can be crucial for certain pharmaceuticals that require rapid onset of action. In addition, as per Statista, in 2022, the global Pharmaceutical Market accounted to be USD 1.48 trillion. Moreover, the emergence of single-and unit-dose packaging and advancements in Water Soluble packaging are anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market over the forecast period. However, the high cost of water soluble films compared to conventional plastic films and lack of awareness is going to impede overall market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.

The key regions considered for the Global Water Soluble Films Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 owing to the increase in production of single-and unit-dose packaging in various end-use industries in the region. Water-soluble films provide a convenient and easy-to-use packaging solution, contributing to the trend of compact and portable packaging formats. The region’s dominant performance is anticipated to propel the overall demand of Water Soluble Films. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to grow fastest over the forecast period, owing to factors such as the rise in use of single and unit dose packaging and the rapid growth of the pharmaceutical industry in the region. Water-soluble films can contribute to efficient packaging processes, potentially reducing overall packaging costs. This can be an attractive proposition for pharmaceutical companies seeking both operational efficiency and cost savings.
