Antimicrobial packaging is a type of packaging that incorporates antimicrobial agents to help prevent or slow the growth of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms on the surface of the packaging or in the packaged product. The purpose of antimicrobial packaging is to improve the shelf life and safety of food, beverages, and other perishable products by reducing the risk of contamination and spoilage.

The global antimicrobial packaging market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by factors such as increasing demand for packaged food and beverages, growing awareness about food safety and hygiene, and rising concerns over foodborne illnesses. According to a report by MarketsandMarkets, The antimicrobial packaging market size is projected to grow from USD 7.28 Billion in 2015 to USD 10.00 Billion by upcoming years, at a CAGR of 5.54%.
