Australia`s import trend for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) lidding films experienced significant growth from 2023 to 2024, with a growth rate of 15.42%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2020-2024 stood at 6.54%. This uptrend can be attributed to increasing demand for PET lidding films in the Australian market, reflecting evolving consumer preferences and packaging requirements.
In Australia, PET lidding films are increasingly used for food packaging, providing excellent sealing, clarity, and mechanical strength. The market benefits from the booming convenience food sector and the preference for sustainable, recyclable packaging. New technologies offering easy-peel and anti-fog properties are also enhancing market attractiveness.
Lidding films made from PET are gaining traction due to their ability to preserve food freshness and extend shelf life. The market trend is leaning toward resealable, microwave-safe, and recyclable variants. As food service and meal prep sectors expand, demand for high-barrier and tamper-evident lidding films continues to grow.
The PET lidding films market is constrained by growing demand for sustainable and compostable alternatives, especially in food packaging. Manufacturers must also navigate food safety compliance, especially for heat-sealed applications, which involves expensive testing and certification. Additionally, supply chain disruptions for specialty PET resins impact production schedules.
The PET lidding films market in Australia offers promising opportunities with the expansion of ready-to-eat meals, dairy products, and convenience food packaging. Investment in developing recyclable and high-barrier lidding film technologies will meet the growing demand for extended shelf life and sustainable packaging solutions.
The PET lidding films market is governed by food safety regulations and packaging waste reduction initiatives. Compliance with FSANZ food contact standards is mandatory for lidding films used with consumable products. Meanwhile, national efforts to phase out problematic and unnecessary plastics push manufacturers toward recyclable or compostable PET lidding film solutions.
