水溶性薄膜市場 - 預測 2023-2028Water Soluble Films Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028 |
在包裝商品中,由天然聚合物形成的水溶性薄膜發揮著重要作用。 它們充當穩定劑,防止油和水混合物分離,也用於製備一些秘製醬汁和沙拉醬。 此外,這些聚合物可以防止製作冰淇淋時冰晶的形成。 製作巧克力奶時,天然存在的水溶性聚合物使可可粉保持懸浮狀態。 它還賦予奶油乾酪特有的厚度,粘合青橄欖多椒片,並賦予其糖果質地。
此外,液體洗滌劑的包裝是水溶性薄膜的另一個重要應用。 該應用基於利用水溶性薄膜包裝來提供單位劑量水平的液體洗滌劑產品。 因此,公司正在尋求使用水溶性薄膜進行創意包裝。 例如,Cortec 於 2022 年 8 月推出了 EcoSol。 EcoSol 是一種由聚乙烯醇 (PVOH) 製成的可熱封薄膜,可製成用於各種應用的小袋和袋子。 EcoSol 包裝的一個基本優勢是,它為用戶提供了一種簡單實用的方法來向水中添加各種潛在成分。
清潔劑和消毒劑需求的增長預計將在預測期內支持水溶性薄膜的全球市場擴張。 例如,液體洗衣劑、消毒劑和洗衣粉通常包裝在水溶性薄膜中。 從市場需求來看,各家企業紛紛涉足水溶性薄膜市場。 例如,2022 年 7 月,聯合利華推出了一款新膠囊,有助於洗衣過程脫碳,同時提供卓越的清潔性能。 新的膠囊預計每年可從廢物流中清除 6,000 多噸塑料。
此外,美國勞工統計局的一份報告顯示,美國消費者在洗衣方面的支出正在上升,從 2020 年到 2021 年以及在預測期內,每位消費者的支出增加了 8 美元。預計將進一步增加。 隨著清潔產品(尤其是洗衣產品)需求的增加,水溶性薄膜的市場也可能會增長,因為水溶性薄膜在液體洗滌劑的生產中至關重要。
P&G公司是一家消費品供應商,總部位於美國,業務遍及全球。 該公司在織物和家庭護理領域擁有多個品牌,包括Tide、Ariel 和 Downy,並在全球銷售洗衣粉和其他織物護理產品。 該部門是美國跨國公司收入最大的業務部門,占公司總淨銷售額的35%。
根據P&G公司 2022 年年報,該公司面料和家庭護理部門的銷售額從 2021 年到 2022 年增長了 6%,據報導 2022 財年淨銷售額達 276 億美元。 這一增長是由市場增長和產品創新推動的,包括對 Tide Power PODS 等水溶性薄膜洗滌劑盒不斷增長的需求。 根據該公司的報告,有機銷售增長受到所有地區洗滌劑產品銷售的影響。
在此應用中,水溶性薄膜材料用於封裝洗滌劑包和洗滌劑盒。 包裝中含有預定量的清潔劑,使清潔更容易,並且由水溶性薄膜製成的包裝更安全,因為無需倒入粉末或液體。 這種水溶性薄膜由環保型聚乙烯醇(俗稱PVOH)製成。 這些水溶性薄膜可減少浪費,並使洗滌劑包更易於運輸和處理。
在紡織品製造行業中,這些薄膜在刺繡過程中充當臨時穩定劑,提供接縫支撐和穩定性,確保准確、簡潔的設計。 此外,水溶性薄膜還可用作熱塑性材料的防粘襯裡,有助於製造複雜的纖維圖案。 SoluBag 由 Acedag 開發,專為包裝肥料、農藥和殺蟲劑而設計,體現了水溶性薄膜的多功能性。 這種創新的包裝解決方案完全溶於水,有助於安全、精確地分配,同時最大限度地降低暴露風險。
水溶性薄膜市場按地區劃分為北美、南美、歐洲、中東和非洲以及亞太地區。 由於對環保包裝解決方案的需求不斷增加以及在藥品、洗滌劑和農用化學品等行業的應用不斷增加,北美市場預計將增長。 與此同時,由於人們對可持續發展的認識不斷增強,以及在包裝、農業和個人護理等各個行業的應用不斷擴大,預計歐洲市場也將佔據較大份額。 與此同時,由於快速的工業化、城市化以及消費者對可持續包裝意識的不斷增強,亞太地區預計將出現增長。
由於對可持續包裝解決方案的日益關注以及在洗滌劑、農用化學品和個人護理等行業中越來越多地採用水溶性薄膜,以及對方便和環保包裝的需求不斷增長,美國在該市場中佔有最大份額。 薄膜製造技術的不斷進步,例如可生物降解和水溶性聚合物的開發,正在推動市場的增長。 這些創新使薄膜能夠滿足穩定性、強度和溶解度等所需的性能標準,同時提供環境效益。
EcoSol 是一種水溶性、可生物降解的聚乙烯醇 (PVOH) 薄膜,非常適合各種包裝需求。 我們提供方便、安全且經濟高效的解決方案,用於運輸各種產品,包括洗滌劑、清潔劑、添加劑、顏料以及水溶性袋、小袋和小袋中的農產品。
同樣,MonoSol 的 PVA 水溶性薄膜徹底改變了洗衣機和洗碗機洗滌劑行業,並因其可溶性單位劑量系統而受到知名消費品牌的青睞。 這些薄膜完全溶於水,可生物降解,不會造成環境污染。
In packaged goods, water-soluble films formed from natural polymers play a significant role. They act as stabilizers, preventing the separation of oil and water mixes, and are also employed in preparing several secret sauces and salad dressings. Additionally, these polymers prevent ice crystals from forming when making ice cream. Naturally occurring water-soluble polymers keep cocoa powder suspended during the creation of chocolate milk. They also provide cream cheese with its characteristic thickness, bond pimento pieces in green olives, and give candies their feel.
Furthermore, packaging liquid detergents is another significant application of water-soluble films. This application is based on delivering unit dose levels of liquid detergent goods utilizing water-soluble film packaging. Consequently, companies are even trying to investigate using water-soluble films for creative packing purposes. For instance, Cortec launched EcoSol in August 2022, which is a polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) heat-sealable film that can be formed into pouches or bags for a range of uses. The fundamental advantage of EcoSol packaging is that it gives users a simple, practical way to add a variety of potential contents to water.
Rising detergent and disinfectant demand are anticipated to support market expansion for water-soluble films worldwide during the projected period. For instance, liquid laundry detergents, disinfectants, and washing powder are frequently packaged in water-soluble films. Looking at the market demand, various companies are steeping their foot in the water-soluble films market. For instance, Unilever introduced the newly created capsule in July 2022 to assist in decarbonizing the washing process while providing excellent cleaning performance. With the new capsules, more than 6,000 tons of plastic are expected to be kept out of the waste stream each year.
Moreover, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report shows that consumer spending on laundry in the U.S. is increasing - the spending per consumer increased by 8 U.S. dollars from 2020 to 2021 and is further expected to increase in the forecast period. As the demand for cleaning products, especially laundry, increases, the market for water-soluble films is also likely to rise as water-soluble films are vital in liquid detergent manufacturing.
Procter & Gamble, an American-based consumer goods supplier operating in countries on all continents, is involved in manufacturing and selling fabric care products, among many others. It operates multiple brands under its Fabric & Home Care segment, such as Tide, Ariel, Downy, etc., that sell laundry detergents and other fabric care products in multiple countries worldwide. This segment is the largest business segment of the American multinational in terms of sales revenues, occupying 35% of the company's total net sales.
As per the annual reports of Procter & Gamble in 2022, it is reported that the fabric & home care segment of the business experienced a 6% increase in segment revenues from 2021 to 2022 and had net segment sales worth US$27.6 billion in the fiscal year 2022. This increase in revenue is attributed to market growth and innovations in products, including the growth in demand for water-soluble film-based detergent pods such as the Tide Power PODS. As per their reports, organic sales growth was influenced by detergent product sales in every geographic region.
In this application, water-soluble film materials are used to encapsulate detergent packs or pods that consumers increasingly demand their ease of use. The packs contain predetermined doses of detergent, which make it easier to carry out cleaning chores, and it is also safer to use these packs made of water-soluble films as they remove the need to pour powders or liquids. These water-soluble films are made of environment-friendly polyvinyl alcohol, commonly referred to as PVOH. These water-soluble films also help reduce wastage and facilitate convenient transportation and handling of detergent packs.
In textile manufacturing, these films are temporary stabilizers in embroidery processes, providing support and stability during stitching and ensuring precise and clean designs. Additionally, water-soluble films act as mold-release liners for thermoplastic materials, facilitating the production of intricate and complex textile patterns. The SoluBag, developed by Acedag Ltd., exemplifies the versatility of water-soluble films by being specifically designed for packaging fertilizers, pesticides, and agrochemicals. This innovative packaging solution dissolves completely in water, promoting safe and accurate dispensing while minimizing exposure risks.
The water-soluble films market is segmented by geography as North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific. The North American market is estimated to grow, driven by increasing demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions and rising applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals, detergents, and agrochemicals. Simultaneously, the European market is expected to hold a significant share and is fueled by growing awareness about sustainability and expanding applications in various industries, including packaging, agriculture, and personal care. At the same time, the Asia Pacific region is projected to grow owing to rapid industrialization, urbanization, and increasing consumer awareness about sustainable packaging.
The United States holds the largest share of this market due to the growing emphasis on sustainable packaging solutions, the increasing adoption of water-soluble films in industries such as detergents, agrochemicals, and personal care, and the rising demand for convenient and eco-friendly packaging formats. Continuous advancements in film manufacturing technologies, including the development of biodegradable and water-soluble polymers, are driving the growth of the market. These innovations ensure that the films meet the required performance standards, such as stability, strength, and solubility while offering environmental benefits.
EcoSol is a polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) film that is water-soluble and biodegradable, making it an excellent choice for various packaging needs. It offers a convenient, secure, and cost-effective solution for delivering a diverse range of products, such as detergents, cleaners, additives, pigments, and agricultural products, in water-soluble bags, sachets, or pouches.
Similarly, MonoSol's PVA water-soluble films have transformed the laundry and dishwasher detergent industry with their soluble unit dose systems, favored by renowned consumer brands. These films dissolve completely in water, are biodegradable, and do not contribute to environmental pollution.
