Packaging Gas Type Insights

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) leads among gas types, capturing 44.17% of the market share in 2024. Its effectiveness in slowing microbial growth makes it essential for preserving meat, dairy, and seafood. As demand for chemical-free preservation rises, CO₂-based MAP remains a cornerstone for ensuring product freshness during transportation and storage.

Application Insights

Fruits and vegetables held the largest share in MAP applications, contributing 39.33% of total revenue in 2024. Consumer preference for fresh produce and the rise of organic farming have accelerated the demand for breathable packaging films that regulate gas exchange and extend shelf life. This is particularly critical in global farm-to-table supply chains. 

Recent Developments:

  • Feb 2025: StePacPPC and Windham Packaging launched a resealable MAP film designed to extend the shelf life of fresh produce while reducing plastic waste. The film supports form-fill-seal applications and incorporates chemically recycled content.

  • Jan 2025: Cirkla introduced the world's first molded fiber MAP trays, cutting plastic use by 85%. Made from renewable plant fibers, these trays provide a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic MAP solutions.
