Demand forecast for special stretch film

Demand forecast for special stretch film

Demand for special stretch film is expected to advance to 4.7 percent a year, compared with 7.6 billion in the United States in 2012, per Virginia. The benefits will drive an increasing demand for the high performance plastic stretch film's barrier properties, mechanical strength and packaging and chemical resistance in building applications. New market segments such as photovoltaic modules and biodegradable plastic bags will also increase demand in the progressive penetration of special stretch films. In air-conditioned packaging, the shelf life of packaged food can be extended rapidly, which will promote further increase, and the metallized stretch film coating and treatment method will also be improved.

The block stretch film will remain the largest part of professional stretch film, more than half of the total demand in 2012. Above-average growth will drive case preparation in meat packaging technology, which requires barrier stretch film to keep the best atmosphere in packaging rising rapidly. These opportunities will drive the development of vinyl alcohol, nylon and polyvinylidene chloride resins to produce plastic stretch film. The benefits will also benefit from the increased use of professional stretch films in pharmaceutical bubble wrap, especially fluoropolymer and nylon film multilayer buildings. In addition, with the improvement of metallization technology, metallized stretch film has become a cost-effective alternative to/foil and stretch film/ paper laminate in food packaging applications. Safety films and light control films are two closely related professional film groups, both of which use glass substrate and are used in motor vehicles and buildings. Although the use of pva in laminated glass laminated film vehicles is very mature and offers minimal growth opportunities for a better outlook for the optically controlled stretch film. These movies can reduce the energy cost of controlling light transmission through Windows buildings. Demand for the light-controlled stretch film will also benefit from new applications in the fast-growing market for photovoltaic modules. The fastest growth in special stretch films will occur in biodegradable and water-soluble stretch films, which will see a small base with double-digit growth. Biodegradable stretch film, used in kitchen and lawn compost bags, will benefit from environmental concerns and the increasing commercialization of biopolymers. Water soluble stretch film will receive the introduction of improved medical and health care products.
