The Future of Functional & Barrier Coatings for Paper & Board to 2030

This report dives into the functional & barrier coatings market for paper and board, split by coating type, end-use and region, with a spotlight on technological developments and key trends.

Table of Contents Key Facts and Figures
  • The functional and barrier coatings market is expected to show consistent annual volume growth of almost 4% between 2025 and 2030
  • In 2025, consumption of functional and barrier coatings for paper and board packaging is expected to reach 3.6 million tonnes
Functional and barrier coatings utilised in paper and board packaging materials encompass a diverse array of substances. Their primary purpose is to establish a barrier against the penetration or exit of water, water vapor, oils, greases, oxygen, and aromas, thereby ensuring the integrity of the packaged products. The functional and barrier materials covered by this report are: thermoplastic polymers, high-barrier polymers, aluminium, wax, silicone, fluorochemicals. 

The growth of this market is predicted to bring about a further $2 billion market value growth from 2025–30, with a uniform regional volume spread characterised 2020; by 2025, this shifts to Asia-Pacific. Material type is strongest in thermoplastic polymers, with two-thirds of the global market volume in 2025.
