CAST POLYPROPYLENE (CPP) FILM MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into General CPP Film, Metalized CPP Film & Retort CPP Film

• General CPP Film: Co-extruded CPP Film is popularly employed in flexible packaging as it has high transparency, is moisture resistant, and has high tensile strength. This type of film is usually used for packing snack foods, candies/chocolates, and other consumable products that need protection plus the need to have an elongated shelf life. Therefore, its widespread application in packaging and efficiency in many industries’ packaging make it the most preferable.

• Metalized CPP Film: Regular CPP Film’s surface is coated with a thin layer of metal, which provides it with an improved barrier to moisture, light, and oxygen, making metalized CPP Film perfect for use in packaging products that require longer shelf life. This type of film is commonly employed in higher-end packaging solutions, especially foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, where aesthetics count a lot, as does the safety of the contents. Reflective in surface appearance, it also enhances the appearance while at the same time enhancing the longevity of packed products.

• Retort CPP Film: Recalled Retort CPP Film is ideal for holding ready-to-eat meals and other products that undergo heat treatment and are porous, requiring the films used in packaging to be heat resistant to allow for the sterilization processes. This film remains working as intended and does cease to perform in all types of conditions to guarantee food’s safety and quality. It is heat-sealed, which serves the food industry well, as it makes it easier to handle and also retains product freshness for the longest time possible.

By Application

Based on Application, the global market can be categorized into Food Packaging, Drug Packaging & Clothing Packaging

• Food Packaging: Cast polypropylene (CPP) film is often used in food packaging because of its excellent moisture barrier characteristics and transparency that make the packaged food products remain fresh and attractive to the buyer.
