The global microwave packaging market is valued at US$ 17 billion and is forecast to reach a market size of US$ 36 billion by 2032, according to Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider. The requirement for simple and portable packaging options, such as flexible packaging, is driving the demand for microwave packaging.
Plastic microwave packaging is highly preferred due to its practical and affordable packaging qualities. The rising demand for frozen food packaging products from many food service outlets is driving market expansion, the report says.
Consumer preferences have changed toward food products that require less time to prepare than a traditional home-cooked dinner, which is one of the main drivers fueling market revenue growth. Increased urbanization and a fast-paced lifestyle are the reasons for this trend. Industry growth is being fueled by a rise in the consumption of ready-to-eat meals as well as changes in family dynamics and the participation of more women in the workforce.
Demand for bags and pouches is rising due to several causes, including changing lifestyles, rising disposable income, and the quick urbanization of developing countries. Plastic bags come in a variety of sizes and forms. The need for bags in the packaging of frozen food products is being further fueled by their capacity to withstand temperature changes.
According to the report, τhe microwave packaging market is predicted to develop at a CAGR of 7.8% during the projection period. Τηε Demand for shelf-stable meals is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2022 to 2032.
