Polyester Film Market by Type (Biaxially oriented, thermal film, metalized film, holographic film, UV stabilized, matte film, barrier film), Application (packaging, electrical insulation, imaging), End Use Industry, and Region - Global forecast to 2028

The Polyester Film Market is projected to reach USD 44.2 Billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 6.2% from USD 32.7 Billion in 2023. Polyester film is a versatile and lightweight packaging material that is increasingly being used in a variety of industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. The growing demand for flexible packaging solutions is expected to fuel the growth of the polyester film market in the coming years. Flexible packaging is convenient for consumers to use and store, and it is also lightweight and easy to transport, making it a good choice for manufacturers and retailers. Flexible packaging can be a more sustainable packaging solution than rigid packaging materials, such as glass and metal, as it is often made from recyclable materials and takes less energy to produce and transport. The flexible packaging industry is constantly innovating to develop new and improved packaging solutions, and polyester film is a popular choice for flexible packaging applications due to its versatility, durability, and good barrier properties.

“Food and beverage, by End use industry, accounts for the second-largest market share in 2022.”

Polyester film is a favored material in the food and beverage packaging industry due to its lightweight, durability, versatility, and excellent barrier properties. It serves a wide range of applications, including packaging for snacks, candy, bread, meat, cheese, and frozen foods. Its ability to protect these products from moisture, oxygen, and contamination contributes to their freshness and quality. Moreover, polyester film is adaptable to various packaging formats and can be printed with high-quality graphics, enhancing its appeal. Beyond these applications, it remains a versatile and reliable choice for diverse food and beverage packaging needs, while also playing a role in innovative packaging solutions, including sustainability initiatives and the development of active and smart packaging systems.

“UV Stabilized film is expected to be the fastest growing at CAGR 5.7% for polyester film market during the forecast period, in terms of value.”

The remarkable growth of UV stabilized films within the polyester films industry can be attributed to several compelling factors. These films have found prominence in outdoor applications due to their ability to withstand prolonged exposure to damaging UV radiation, making them indispensable for outdoor signage, banners, agriculture, and protective coverings. Their outstanding durability, resisting yellowing and embrittlement, caters to industries where long-term performance is paramount, such as construction, automotive, and packaging.
