Title: PFAS-free Food Packaging Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Material (Paper & Paperboard, Plastics, Glass), By Application (Packaged Food & Beverages, Retail & Convenience Stores), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030

The global PFAS-free food packaging market size was valued at USD 40.40 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2025 to 2030. The industry is driven by increasing regulatory restrictions on PFAS usage and rising consumer demand for safer, sustainable packaging alternatives. Additionally, growing awareness of the health risks associated with PFAS compounds further accelerates the market growth.

Key PFAS-free Food Packaging Company Insights
Key players dominating the market are leveraging their expertise in sustainable packaging solutions to capture significant market share. These companies are investing in innovative barrier technologies, such as plant-based coatings, bio-based polymers, and water-based alternatives, to meet the rising demand for safer packaging options. The market is highly competitive, with emerging players focusing on expanding their product portfolios and strengthening their geographic presence. Strategic collaborations, product innovations, and increased investments in research and development (R&D) are key strategies used by both established and emerging players to maintain a competitive edge in this rapidly evolving market.

• In March 2025, YUTOECO, a prominent player in the eco-friendly packaging industry, introduced FluoZero, a groundbreaking PFAS-free greaseproof technology designed specifically for molded fiber food packaging. This innovation addresses significant challenges in sustainable and high-performance greaseproof solutions, offering a safer and more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional packaging materials.
• In March 2025, Ahlstrom, a specialist in fiber-based materials, introduced LamiBak Flex, a new base paper designed specifically for flexible food packaging. This product is part of the LamiBak collection and is tailored to enhance barrier properties for applications such as pouches, sachets, and flow packs. It also aligns with regional compostability standards and is PFAS-free, supporting eco-friendly packaging solutions.
• In September 2024, CARCCU, a Finland-based company, developed PFAS-free greaseproof papers designed to keep harmful chemicals away from food while maintaining the necessary barrier properties for packaging. These papers are made from renewable resources and are fully biodegradable and compostable. These are ideal for wrapping high-fat foods such as baked goods, cheeses, and meats, making them suitable for the fast-food and bakery sectors.
