Market insight:

Lidding is typically used as a closure on plastic bowls, cups, or trays that hold products like yogurt, soup, meats, cheese, and many other food products. Lidding is often a laminated construction, made up of foil, paper, polyester, PET, or all kinds of other metalized and non-metalized materials that make up the film. The film is specially engineered to peel without shredding. It retains a strong adhesion and tight seal for an extended shelf life. Anti-fog lidding films are used by food packaging manufacturers for high-moisture food items where they prevent formation of fog. Formation of fog is considered as an indicator of declining quality also affects the visibility through the packaging. Hence, past few years have seen the popularity of these as a barrier packaging technology used in food and beverages industries. Anti-fog features allow such packaging to become spill- proof transit Key materials used by manufacturers in the anti-fog lidding films market are polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and poluethylene terephthalate (PET), and the popular sealing is the peelable film type. These materials score well at least one of the criteria of UV stability, heat resistance, and tensile strength. Consumers across the globe are increasingly concerned about hygiene when it comes to food and its packaging. An efficient method to achieve hygienic packaged food, which is free from micro-organisms and bacteria, is to enhance packaging solutions by incorporating specialty features in them. This has led to increased use of lidding films as they completely seal the product and prevent contamination. This, in turn, is expected to play a pivotal role in increasing the adoption of anti-fog lidding films in the packaging of fresh produce, meat, as well as dairy products. Affected by the epidemic in 2020, the overall business of the production industry will decline. The anti-fog lidding film is mainly used in the food industry. Under the influence of the general environment, the trend of food transportation and consumption has declined. The demand for applications in the downstream market has decreased, which has hindered the overall industry. The anti-fog lidding film market is expected to gradually recover as people have a higher inclination towards fresh food.
