According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Edible Film market size was valued at US$ 200 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 414 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 10.9% during review period.
In 2025, global edibl film production reached approximately 19 kilotons, the average price is 10500 usd/ton. Edible film is a kind of food packaging film made of natural edible biological macromolecules (such as polysaccharides, proteins, lipids) as the main raw materials, by adding edible plasticizers, enhancers and other accessories, through a specific process. It can not only effectively preserve food, but also has the characteristics of edible and biodegradable, which is a green alternative to traditional plastic packaging.
Market Concentration and Key Players:
Internationally, edible plastic wrap market concentration is relatively high, mainly concentrated in Europe, America and Japan and other developed countries. For example, large manufacturers such as Notpla and Apeel Sciences; from the domestic point of view, edible plastic wrap still has a lot of room for development.
Manufacturing Processes and Market Trends:
The core of edible preservative film production process is to use natural edible biopolymers to form dense film structure, and its basic raw materials are mainly divided into polysaccharides (such as starch, chitosan, sodium alginate), proteins (such as whey protein, zein) and lipids. The mainstream film-forming methods include tape casting, i.e., casting film-forming solution on a flat surface for drying and molding, and electrostatic spinning, which are advanced technologies for preparing nano-fiber films. In order to improve the performance, the process often adopts the way of combining different materials, for example, by adding sodium alginate or nanocellulose to enhance the strength and barrier properties of starch base film, or introducing natural antibacterial agents such as plant essential oils to achieve the preservation function.
In terms of market trends, the edible cling film industry is experiencing rapid growth, driven mainly by increasingly stringent global plastic restriction policies and increased consumer awareness of environmental protection. It is expected that the global market size will continue to expand in the next few years, with food and beverage packaging being the largest application area. Technological advances have focused on developing more versatile products, such as smart films with antibacterial, antioxidant and even freshness indicators. Seaweed polysaccharides and other new membrane materials have attracted special attention because of their sustainable and thorough degradation of raw materials. The main challenge facing the industry today is how to accelerate the replacement of traditional plastic packaging by optimizing production processes and supply chain management while effectively controlling costs while improving product mechanical performance and functionality.
