DUBLIN, August 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Modified Atmosphere Packaging Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The global modified atmosphere packaging market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 4.82% during the period 2016-2020.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from the research team said: A particular key trend that will influence the growth of the global modified atmosphere packaging market will be the emergence of biodegradable plastics. Biodegradable plastics are readily decomposed by microorganisms, thereby reducing the toxic effect they have on the environment as compared to conventional plastics. They are not necessarily wholly made from renewable materials but are plastics with biodegradable additives made from petrochemicals.

According to the report, one of the key drivers for market growth will be the demand for hygienic packaging in food industry. As a result of the increased emphasis on food safety from consumers and food manufacturers, packaging vendors are focusing on technological advancements by introducing advanced packaging solutions to meet hygiene standards and to ensure product quality. In the food industry, the packaging is crucial to safeguard the product and maintain the food quality.

Modified atmosphere packaging helps in reducing contamination during handling. In fresh food, surface abrasions are minimized by avoiding contact between the shipping container and the produce, which reduces the spreading of decay from one item to another. Increasing demand for hygienic fresh and prepared food products will propel the demand for modified atmosphere packaging. Consumers are demanding for food products that are processed as little as possible, thereby avoiding the contamination of food with artificial additives and preservatives.
