Active, Intelligent Packaging To Surge

Demand for active and intelligent packaging in the United States is forecast to expand 7.3 percent annu- ally to $4.0 billion in 2019, well above the packaging industry average, according to a new a report from Freedonia. Active packaging provides functions beyond prod- uct protection and identification, such as moisture control; intelligent packaging incorporates features that indicate status or communicate product changes and other information.While many active and intelli- gent packaging products, such as packaged desic- cants and volatile corrosion inhibitors, have a well established presence, emerging products include an- timicrobial packaging, advanced time-temperature monitors, and smartphone-enabled interactive pack- aging products.All of these products are expected to see further development over the next decade as food safety concerns and interest in product connec- tivity create a need for products that can more effi- ciently perform related functions. Intelligent packaging demand will see the faster growth, advancing at a double-digit rate and reaching $1.5 billion in 2019 as products such as time-temper- ature indicators and smart labels and tags become more common, according to the report. Active packaging demand is forecast to grow 5.4 percent per year to $2.5 billion in 2019.
