Biaxially oriented polypropylene film (BOPP Film) is generally a multi-layer co-extruded film, which is made by co-extrusion of polypropylene particles to form a sheet, which is then stretched in both vertical and horizontal directions. Due to the orientation of the stretched molecules, the film has good physical stability, mechanical strength, air tightness, high transparency and gloss, toughness and wear resistance, and is a widely used printing film with a thickness of 20-40 μm. , The most widely used is 20 μm. The main disadvantage of biaxially oriented polypropylene film is poor heat sealability, so it is generally used as the outer film of composite film. For example, the moisture resistance, transparency, strength, stiffness and printability of the composite film are ideal after being composited with polyethylene film. It is suitable for Contain dry food. Because the surface of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film is non-polar, the crystallinity is high, and the surface free energy is low. Therefore, its printing performance is poor, and its adhesion to ink and adhesive is poor. It needs to be surfaced before printing and lamination.

Cast polypropylene film (CPP Film) is a polypropylene film produced by a casting process. The transparency is excellent, the thickness is uniform, and the performance in the vertical and horizontal directions is uniform. It is generally used as the inner layer material of the composite film. The thickness of ordinary CPP film is generally between 25 and 50μm. After being compounded with OPP, the transparency is good, the surface is bright, and the hand feels firm. This material is used in general gift packaging bags. This film also has good heat sealability. The thickness of cooking-grade CPP film is generally between 60 and 80 μm. It can withstand high-temperature cooking at 121°C for 30 min. It has good oil resistance, air tightness, and high heat seal strength. The inner layer of general meat packaging is uniform. Use cooking grade CPP film.
Polyethylene film (PE Film) refers to a film produced with PE particles. PE film has moisture resistance and low moisture permeability. According to different manufacturing methods and control methods, polyethylene film can produce low-density, medium-density, high-density polyethylene and cross-linked polyethylene products with different properties, and it is widely used.
Biaxially oriented polyester film (BOPET Film) uses polyester chips as the main raw material, is melted, extruded and cast, and then stretched, oriented, heat-set and cooled in both longitudinal and transverse directions under certain technological conditions. High-performance plastic film made by processing. BOPET was originally developed by the British ICI company in the 1950s. After decades of development, the product has evolved from a single insulating film to the current capacitor film, packaging film, photosensitive insulating film, etc.; the product form has also changed from flat The film has developed to multi-layer co-extruded film, reinforced film and coated film. As of 2019, PE film has a market share of 77.99%, ranking first; BOPP film has a market share of 15.37%, ranking second; OPET film has a market share of 4.87%, ranking third. In terms of the specific geographical distribution of the film market, due to the more developed economy in Europe, people's living standards and higher hygiene requirements for goods, the plastic film industry is far superior to the Middle East and North Africa in terms of market capacity and manufacturing technology. As of 2019, the market share of BOPP film, CPP film, PE film and OPET film in the region has reached 74.34%, while that of North Africa is only 7.08%. However, from a long-term development perspective, North Africa has a large population and a very low market share. , With the gradual development of the economy, there is a lot of room for growth.
The BOPP film, CPP film, PE film and OPET film industries have developed so far, and the main downstream markets are: food and beverage packaging; personal care products and cosmetics packaging; electrical equipment and electronic products, etc. Plastic products are very common in daily necessities and industrial and agricultural production. A large part of the outer packaging of existing commodities on the market is as of 2019. In Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, the market share of food and beverages is 38.77%. Ranked first; personal care and cosmetics accounted for 16.68% of the market share; electrical and electronic equipment accounted for 9.26% of the market share.
The Impact of COVID-19 on the BOPP Film, CPP Film, PE Film and OPET Film Industries in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
Plastic film covers almost all areas needed in daily life, and the annual consumption is huge. The huge demand for both has directly contributed to the huge market value. As of 2019, the market value of BOPP films, CPP films, PE films, and OPET films in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa has reached US$26.418 billion. The overall impact of COVID on the industry is not large. On the one hand, the new crown epidemic has plunged the world economy into recession, and the downstream application market of the plastic film industry has also been greatly affected. For example, the decrease in construction activities has directly led to the use of the construction industry and the garden industry. The demand for stretchable dies has dropped sharply. On the other hand, the rigid demand for medical devices has soared, which has also driven the demand for packaging films for corresponding products to rise. It is estimated that the market value of BOPP film, CPP film, PE film and OPET film in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa will slightly decrease to USD 26.418 billion in 2020. However, as people’s awareness of environmental protection has become stronger in recent years, various environmentally-friendly policies issued by various countries in response to environmental pollution have largely hindered the development of plastic films. Although the existing market is huge, there is still a downward trend overall.
