Modified Atmosphere Packaging Market Growth and Trends:
The global modified atmosphere packaging market size is anticipated to reach USD 26.18 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.94% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) market is a crucial segment of the global food packaging industry, driven by the need to extend shelf-life, maintain product freshness, and reduce food waste. MAP involves replacing the natural atmosphere inside a package with a specific gas composition-typically a mix of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen-to slow microbial growth and oxidation. This technology is widely adopted across various food segments, including fresh produce, meat, seafood, dairy, and bakery products, ensuring that perishable goods remain fresh during storage and transportation. With rising consumer demand for minimally processed and preservative-free food, MAP has become an essential packaging solution for manufacturers seeking to balance convenience, safety, and sustainability.
A primary driver for the growth of the modified atmosphere packaging market is the increasing globalization of the food supply chain. As food products are transported over longer distances due to international trade and e-commerce expansion, the need for advanced packaging solutions to maintain quality and safety has intensified. Additionally, ongoing innovations in packaging materials, such as high-barrier films and smart packaging technologies with real-time freshness indicators, are further enhancing the effectiveness of MAP. Stringent food safety regulations and growing awareness of food waste reduction initiatives are also encouraging the adoption of MAP, particularly in developed markets where both consumers and retailers prioritize extended shelf-life and reduced environmental impact.
The market players are focusing on various strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations. For instance, in March 2024, ProAmpac introduced a modified atmosphere sandwich pack (MAP) in North America, partnering with the brand Sammi. This packaging is fiber-based, using carton board and a thin transparent film to keep sandwiches fresh longer while also letting customers see the product.
