냉동식품용 식용 포장 시장 : 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석 및 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Edible Packaging for Frozen Foods Market was valued at USD 217.2 million in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% to reach USD 449.1 million by 2034. This growing market is driven by an increasing demand for cold-stable, biodegradable packaging, particularly for individually quick frozen (IQF) fruits, vegetables, microwaveable frozen meals, and ready-to-heat meals. This demand is particularly evident in North America, Europe, and select parts of Asia-Pacific, such as Japan, South Korea, and Australia. The demand for edible packaging has been primarily fueled by the sales of frozen fruits and plant-based meals in North America and Europe, alongside more affordable alternatives like chitosan and starch-based packaging in parts of Asia-Pacific.

Polysaccharide films, due to their affordability and freeze stability, are expected to see the highest growth within the market. Additionally, the need for cold-chain optimization and the integration of flavors into edible coatings is expected to drive growth in premium product categories. The rise of private-label frozen foods in North America and Western Europe is another significant contributor to the increasing adoption of edible packaging.

The polysaccharide films segment will reach 34.9% share by 2034. These films, derived from materials like starch, alginate, and cellulose, are preferred for their low cost, minimal allergen risk, and strong performance in frozen environments. They also offer flexibility, making them suitable for various frozen foods, such as vegetables, seafood, and ready-to-eat meals.

In 2024, the frozen vegetables and fruits segment accounted for 35.6% share driven by their high export volumes and early adoption of edible coatings, which help preserve moisture and enhance eco-friendly branding. The use of edible packaging has gained further momentum due to stricter organic labeling regulations and bans on plastic wraps for frozen produce in various regions, including Europe and parts of Asia.

North America Edible Packaging for Frozen Foods Market held 33% share in 2024, driven by retailer adoption, innovative start-ups in edible packaging, and growing consumer awareness of sustainability. The U.S. alone represented USD 61.7 million. Additionally, the rise of private-label frozen food products featuring edible films as a sustainable differentiation point has fueled further market growth. However, challenges such as the high cost of raw materials and regulatory compliance may slow the market's expansion.

Key players in the Global Edible Packaging for Frozen Foods Market include Ingredion Incorporated, Tate & Lyle PLC, BASF SE, WikiCell Designs Inc., and Amcor Plc. To maintain and expand their market position, companies in the edible packaging sector have employed a variety of strategies. These include ongoing innovation in materials to enhance product performance, such as increasing freeze stability and improving moisture retention for frozen foods. Companies have also focused on sustainability, ensuring their products are biodegradable and aligned with consumer demand for eco-friendly solutions. Strategic partnerships and collaborations with frozen food manufacturers have allowed companies to integrate their edible packaging into a broader range of products, especially in the growing plant-based and organic food sectors.
