Market Overview:
The global microporous breathable films market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for microporous breathable films from various applications such as sanitary & hygiene, medical, personal care and others. In addition, the growing awareness about hygiene and health among consumers is also driving the demand for microporous breathable films. Some of the major players operating in this market are 3M Company (U.S.), Toray Industries Inc.(Japan), Asahi Kasei Corporation (Japan), Bemis Company Inc.(U.S.), Berry Global Group Inc.(U.S.), Clariant AG (Switzerland) and Covestro AG(Germany).
Product Definition:
Microporous breathable films are thin, semipermeable membranes used to control the exchange of gases and water vapor between two environments. They are typically made from polymers such as polyethylene or polypropylene and have small pores that allow water vapor to escape but restrict the passage of larger molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide. This makes them ideal for use in products such as sportswear, outdoor gear, and medical devices where venting and moisture management are important. Microporous breathable films can also be used to create moisture-resistant barriers in packaging applications.
Microporous PE Films:
microporous polyethylene films, also referred to as microporous PE films or micro- porous polyethylene film is a type of polymer film that contains many small holes. These small holes allow the transmission of oxygen and carbon dioxide but not water vapor or other gases. The overall structure of the material is similar to that of an onion with many layers made from semi- transparent thin sheets.
Microporous PP Films:
Microporous polypropylene (PP) films are thin, flexible sheets made from high-density polyethylene. Microporous PP films have a large surface area and pore structure than conventional non-porous PP films. The unique pore structure of the film allows for enhanced permeability to gases and liquids leading to higher performance in terms of breathability.
The global microporous PP Films market size was valued at USD 31 million in 2015.
Application Insights:
The market is segmented by application into sanitary and hygiene, medical, personal care, and others. The sanitary and hygiene application segment dominated the global microporous breathable films market in 2017 owing to rising demand for these products in various applications such as diapers, feminine hygiene products among others. In addition to this growth drivers such as disposable nature of the product are expected to propel demand over the forecast period.
Medical application is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to its increasing use in wound dressing among other applications. Personal care is also expected witness considerable growth due largely on account of increasing awareness about health & wellness issues coupled with a growing aging population across various regions globally who require regular personal care services are some of the key factors driving this industry growth over next seven years or so.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is home to some of the major product manufacturers such as Nippon Paper Industries, Ltd.; UPM-Kymmene Corporation; and Toray Industries, Inc. Asia Pacific has a huge population suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes, which require proper hygiene and sanitation facilities at affordable costs. This factor is anticipated to drive demand for disposable adult incontinence products in this region over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for breathable films in the medical and healthcare sector for wound care, surgical applications, and drug delivery
- Rising demand from the packaging industry for food and beverage products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics
- Growing use of breathable films in air-conditioning systems to improve energy efficiency
- Increasing application of breathable films in construction industry as a water-resistant barrier material
- Technological advancements that have led to development of new types of microporous breathable films with better performance characteristics
