The global fresh food packaging market size is projected to grow from USD 79.8 billion in 2020 to USD 95.2 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 3.5% between 2020 and 2025. The major driving factors of the market include growing demand for convenience food items and innovative packaging solutions for extended shelf life of fresh food items.

APAC is projected to be the fastest-growing market for fresh food packaging during the forecast period. Increase in demand for convenience by consumers and concerns about food product safety are some of the major reasons that could drive the fresh food packaging market in the region. However, the fresh food packaging market faces restraints such as stringent government rules and regulations regarding raw materials, which hinder the growth of the market.
