Strategic Insights
Barrier Resins Market Growth Drivers- E-commerce and Packaging Drive Growth in Barrier Resins Market: Packaging is one of the primary driving forces of the barrier resins market, particularly aided by the boom in e-commerce. Since most customers these days prefer shopping online, shipping calls for some form of strong and protective packaging. This protective packaging is necessary because barrier resins shield the products from humidity, air and any other damaging factors, thus assisting in delivering the products to the end users in perfect condition.
- Barrier Resins Enhancing Shelf Life and Product Quality in the Food and Beverage Sector: In addition, there has been a rise in the number of products that are packaged in the buoyed food and beverage sector. With more consumers preferring safe and faster alternatives, the manufacturers have taken to the use of barrier resins to extend the shelf life of the products. These materials also preserve the product's quality, which is essential in the acquisition and retention of the consumers.
- Consumer Awareness on Food Safety Fuels Demand for Barrier Resins in Packaging: Another contributing factor is the ever-increasing consumer awareness over food safety. Many consumers are worried about the quality and wholesome products purchased, which makes a number of brands advance their packaging system. Barrier resins solve the problem by ensuring that there is positive protection against external factors and hence, their application is on the rise in various industries.
- Rising Demand for Bio-Based and Biodegradable Barrier Resins Driven by Environmental Awareness: A noticeable trend in the barrier resins market is the increasing consumption of bio-based and biodegradable resins. With the growth of awareness around environmental protection, there is a yearning to replace the traditional plastics made of petroleum products with sustainable solutions for everyone. Biomaterials with similar barrier properties are less of a burden on the earth’s fossil fuels, thus engaging the green stakeholders.
- Government Regulations and Consumer Preferences Accelerating Shift Towards Bioplastics: On the other hand, expectations from clients have also raised the need for bioplastics due to the plastic use and plastic waste guidelines that governments are enforcing more rigorously. Businesses can promote themselves by encouraging these alternative options as they help to avoid the risk of penalties imposed by such rules. Such transitions towards sustainability are not only market entailing processes but approach clients with preferences for green products.
- Advancements in Technology Enhancing Performance of Bio-Based Barrier Resins: Also, new technologies play a part concerning bio-based barrier resins’ turn of viability prospects. Improvements in science and technology change the dynamics by providing better formulations that improve performance with these materials. As it happens, the market is bound to witness increased application of bio-based alternatives as more such technologies come up.
- Growth Opportunities for Barrier Resins Market with Water-Based Coatings: Water-based coating technologies offer vast opportunities for the growth of the barrier resins market. The environmentally-friendly approach adopted by different industries is responsible for promoting the use of water-based coatings because of their lower volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. This is in regard to the existing efforts around the world to mitigate environmental concerns. Therefore, the spandex coatings are highly appealing to the producers as well as the end users.
- Environmentally-Friendly Water-Based Coatings Gaining Popularity Across Multiple Industries: One more benefit that most customers have to bear in mind is water-based coatings. These coatings can be applied to different surfaces and can provide excellent moisture, oxygen, and other element barriers. This versatility allows its application across several industries, including food, pharmaceutical packaging, and cosmetics, thus expanding the market for these barrier resins. Also, the introduction of new inner water-based formulations helps in the development as well.
- Advancements in Resin Chemistry Enhancing Durability and Adhesion of Water-Based Coatings: New resin chemistry has allowed for improved durability and adhesion of water-based coatings, making them very competitive with solvent coatings. Water-based coatings will continue to enhance performance, which implies acceptance of these technologies by a larger base of manufacturers, increasing the demand for barrier resins.

To comprehend the market dynamics for the nation, a number of growth variables, inhibitors, application areas, and current market trends are researched. The aforementioned elements aid in determining the country's overall market's growth potential.
- 3.3 Company Profile:
The “Table of Contents” is formulated by listing and analyzing more than 25 - 30 companies operating in the market ecosystem across geographies. However, we profile only 10 companies as a standard practice in our syndicate reports. These 10 companies comprise leading, emerging, and regional players. Nonetheless, our analysis is not restricted to the 10 listed companies, we also analyze other companies present in the market to develop a holistic view and understand the prevailing trends. The “Company Profiles” section in the report covers key facts, business description, products & services, financial information, SWOT analysis, and key developments. The financial information presented is extracted from the annual reports and official documents of the publicly listed companies. Upon collecting the information for the sections of respective companies, we verify them via various primary sources and then compile the data in respective company profiles. The company level information helps us in deriving the base number as well as in forecasting the market size.
- 3.4 Developing Base Number:
Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
