North America Cast Polypropylene Films Market size surpassed USD 303 million in 2020 and is expected to expand at 2.9% CAGR between 2021 and 2027.
Cast Polypropylene (CPP) film is a lamination-based film manufactured from PP plastic pellets. CPP films are versatile polymers and are widely used in the packaging sector owing to several product advantages such as cost-effectiveness, high puncture & tear resistance, and excellent heat seal strength. CPP films are highly recommended in the food packaging business due to many material features such as providing a specified barrier against gas, moisture, and flavor leakages.

The market growth is driven by the expanding flexible packaging industry owing to the growing pharmaceutical, garment, and food & beverages sectors in the region. Rising demand for prepacked & healthy food items along with the strong presence of food & beverage manufacturers in the region is impelling product demand.
The CPP film demand is growing rapidly as a more attractive packaging material than polyethylene in a wide range of applications. CPP films come in several types such as twist wrap hop & cold application lamination. Due to the rising use of convenience products, polypropylene films are expected to witness an increase in demand. CPP films are used for overwrapping cigarettes, audio-video cassettes, flowers, fabrics, apparel, and other items for a good presentation. They are also used in stationery goods, documents, playing cards, and other items that are laminated. Candy, toffee, chewing gum, and cough chewable, among others, require packaging solutions to improve shelf life and provide longer durability. Cast polypropylene films are an attractive option for flexible packaging applications as they provide recyclability, optical clarity, lightweight, and low cost.
The growth of the textile and health care industries is anticipated to drive the demand for cast polypropylene films during the forecast period. CPP films are used in a variety of office supplies including folders and semi-rigid packaging. High clarity is required for stationery items, and CPP films meet this criterion in a cost-effective manner.

The metallic CPP films market will observe around 3.2% growth rate during the forecast period. Metallic CPP films are becoming more popular as they offer excessive heat seal strength, thermal stability, puncture resistance, transparency, and barrier characteristics. In the packaging industry, metallic & general CPP films are used. Metallic CPP films provide tight insulation from oxygen & carbon dioxide; they also resist ultraviolet radiations, thereby keeping the product safe.
The 20–30 microns in thickness CPP films segment exceeded USD 701.2 million revenue in 2020. The product's high flexibility makes it ideal for various types of food packing such as food wraps or candy/confectionery packaging, bakery product packaging, lamination, garment bags, and retort packaging. However, the rising demand for alternative packaging options, including PET, BOPP, and aluminum, is reducing the use of polypropylene cast films in a variety of applications.
