Global Packaging Coatings Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Packaging Type, By End-use, By Resins (Epoxies, Polyurethane, Acrylics, Polyolefins, Polyester, and Others), By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2024 - 2031

The Global Packaging Coatings Market size is expected to reach $5.7 billion by 2031, rising at a market growth of 4.5% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2023, the market attained a volume of 1,534.1 kilo tonnes experiencing a growth of 21.0% (2020-2023).

Acrylic resins can be formulated to achieve specific performance characteristics tailored to the requirements of different packaging substrates and end-use applications. For example, acrylic coatings can provide excellent adhesion to various substrates, including metal, plastic, glass, and paperboard, ensuring compatibility with various packaging materials. Consequently, the acrylics segment would acquire nearly 20% of the total market share by 2031. Also, the Russian market would utilize 25.81 kilo tonnes of acrylics by 2031.

The market is transforming towards sustainable and eco-friendly solutions in response to escalating environmental concerns. In addition, a key driver of this shift towards sustainability is the exploration of biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable coatings. Therefore, these aspects will boost the demand in the market. Additionally, Moisture, oxygen, light, and microbial contamination pose formidable challenges to preserving food and beverage products. In addition, oxygen exposure accelerates oxidative reactions that degrade flavor, aroma, and nutritional content, diminishing product quality and shelf life. Thus, these factors will pose lucrative growth prospects for the market.

However, A substantial proportion of the comprehensive production expenses in the market are attributed to raw materials. Additionally, coating manufacturers encounter an increase in production costs when the costs of raw materials escalate as a result of supply disruptions, geopolitical tensions, or vibrations in the global oil sectors. Hence, these aspects will hamper the demand in the market.

Packaging Type Outlook

On the basis of packaging type, the market is divided into rigid packaging, flexible packaging, and others. In 2023, the rigid packaging segment witnessed 36% revenue share in the market. In terms of volume, the segment recorded 497.8 kilo tonnes. As consumers become more environmentally conscious and look for items with little environmental impact, there is an increasing demand for rigid packaging materials that can be recycled, reused, or composted at the end of their useful life.

End-use Outlook

Based on end-use, the market is divided into food & beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, and others. In 2023, the cosmetics segment witnessed a 19.5% revenue share in the market. In terms of volume, the segment attained 266.8 kilo tonnes in 2023. These coatings play a crucial role in elevating the aesthetics of cosmetic packaging, enhancing the tactile feel, visual impact, and perceived value of beauty and personal care products.

Resins Outlook

Based on resins, the market is segmented into epoxies, acrylics, polyurethane, polyolefins, polyester, and others. The polyurethane segment garnered 23% revenue share in the market. Polyurethane coatings provide excellent barrier properties, moisture resistance, and mechanical strength, making them ideal for protecting packaged products from environmental hazards, physical damage, and wear during storage, transportation, and handling.

Regional Outlook

By region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2023, the Asia Pacific segment procured 38% revenue share in the market. The region's expanding economy, coupled with increasing consumer spending and industrial activity, has fueled demand for protective, functional, and aesthetically appealing packaging solutions, driving the adoption of coatings that enhance product performance, shelf life, and brand differentiation.
