Key timeline: 2023-2025

Global market data:

Market size in 2023: US$1.53 billion

Expected size in 2032: US$2.21 billion

Compound annual growth rate: 4.17% (2023-2032)

International environmental policy trends:

EU: From January 2024, the use of PFAS (perfluorinated compounds) in food packaging will be officially restricted.

US: In 2023, the FDA announced the phase-out of food-grade fluorinated materials, driving the market to fluorine-free oil-proof paper.

Canada/Australia: Follow up the fluorine ban policy simultaneously, emphasizing the recyclability and biodegradability of materials.

Market trend analysis:

Accelerated substitution: More than 60% of branded food companies around the world are switching to fluorine-free packaging, and the replacement is expected to be completed by 2026.

Overseas customer preferences: Fast food chains, coffee roasting, and frozen ready-to-eat companies prefer "natural, non-toxic, and oil-proof" packaging paper.

Material standard upgrade: FDA and EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) have stricter testing standards for food contact materials, and fluorine-free products must pass hot oil penetration tests and high-temperature stability tests.

Technical focus:

Overseas markets prefer "plant-based + functional" fluorine-free solutions such as PLA (polylactic acid), starch coating, and bamboo fiber substrates.
