Global Smart Food Packaging Market Forecast:
According to the report, the global smart food packaging market is projected to grow from ~USD 28 Billion in 2025 to ~USD 56 Billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of ~7% during the forecast period. The global smart food packaging market is experiencing strong growth, driven by rising demand across dairy products, meat, poultry, & sea food, pet food, beverages sectors seeking to food safety, extend shelf life, improve traceability, and provide better consumer engagement. For instance, in October 2024, ProAmpac has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability in 2024 by introducing innovative products like ProActive Sustainability and ProActive Intelligence. These advancements enhance convenience and product protection without sacrificing performance.
Moreover, innovations in technologies such as automation, extended reality, and AI fueling the smart food packaging market growths. For instance, WestRock is to innovate boldly and package sustainably, with a focus on the circular economy. The vision is to have a digital thread all the way from raw materials to recyclability.
Government in India, Europe, and USA enforces stricter emission norms such as limits on volatile organic compounds (VOCs), restrictions on single-use plastics, and regulations on non-biodegradable packaging materials, driving the adoption of sustainable smart food packaging solutions. In addition, stricter emission norms and sustainability regulations are accelerating the transition to eco-friendly smart food packaging, combining technological innovation (like RFID, sensors, and active packaging) with environmental compliance.
“Key Driver, Restraint, and Growth Opportunity Shaping the Global Smart Food Packaging Market
Rising consumers demand for freshness and traceability in their food purchases.
Smart packaging enables brands to meet these expectations through sensors, QR codes, and digital information sharing. In additions development in freshness technology by packaging manufactures are drive the smart food packaging market. For instance, in July 2024, Evigence announced the general availability of its Freshness Management Platform with FreshSense, a new sensor technology that is set to change how the food industry measures and ensures product freshness. The FreshSense sensors, featuring patented chemistry-embedded QR codes, provide real-time, item-level insights into the freshness and quality of perishable goods throughout the supply chain.
The major limitation to the expansion of the smart food packaging market is supply chain disruptions can delay the production and delivery of advanced smart packaging materials, such as RFID tags, sensors, or specialized films. These delays impact FMCG manufacturers’ ability to implement smart packaging at scale, slow down product launches, and increase costs, ultimately restraining the growth and adoption of smart food packaging solutions. Smart packaging materials can be consistently available by reducing supply chain delays through spare inventory management and supplier diversification.
The smart food packaging market propelled due to continuous R&D to develop sustainable packaging especially for food and beverage industry. For instance, in August 2025, the research and development team at Nestle collaborated with IBM Research to use AI and deep tech for breakthrough packaging innovations. This collaboration accelerates the development of sustainable, intelligent packaging solutions, enhancing product freshness, reducing environmental impact, and driving growth in the smart food packaging market.
