Growing demand for fresh and healthy foods

As consumers are becoming more health conscious in today's fast paced life, they are preferring to include fresh and healthy foods in their diet. There is a growing realization that fresh foods packed with all the essential nutrients are better for maintaining overall health and wellness. People want foods that are not only tasty but also offer nourishment to keep them energetic throughout the day. With increasing awareness about benefits of fruits and vegetables, more households are adopting diets rich in these items on a daily basis.

To reliably supply fresh produce to people, efficient packaging solutions are required which can facilitate easy transportation from farms to retailers while protecting quality. Packaging technologies that increase accessibility of fresh foods will see higher adoption rates. For instance, pre-cut vegetables or fruits packaged innovatively for single or multiple servings based on household size can inspire more consumption. Technologies preserving nutrients for longer through minimal processing are drawing interest from health-oriented consumers. Meeting multifaceted packaging needs of perishable foods will become an area of focus.

Demand for fresh prepared meals is rising across fast casual restaurants and takeaways catering to busy lifestyles. Here too, sustainable packaging performing critical functions like indicating freshness, absorbing moisture and preventing cross-contamination plays a key role. As environmental and social responsibilities increase, compostable or recyclable fresh food packaging will gain prominence. Innovation supporting supply chain visibility can aid market growth by improving trust in safety and origins of products.
