Packaging of a product just doesn’t ensure a safe delivery to the final user, but it also has an effect on the way the product is being perceived by the customers from marketing perspective. The food and beverage packaging has transformed from traditional packaging to advanced packaging. Traditional packaging concerns itself only with issues related to protection from factors which are external to the packaging, while advanced packaging takes into consideration both internal (active packaging) and external (intelligent packaging) interactions with the environment; and it improves the visual appeal of the products also. That is why the manufacturers of food and beverages and packaging manufacturers are trying to find ways in which chemical, physical and microbial textures can change inside the packaged food.

New technological advancements such as modified atmosphere packaging, smart packaging and active and intelligent packaging are now putting an end to traditional methods such as canning. Additionally, smart and active packaging also makes it easier to process bulk transportation. With recent technological advancements, innovative packaging alternatives are now easily available for the manufacturers to improve their consumer strength and capture even more market share. The food industry, which is mostly always on a boom, is the primary driver in the Asia-Pacific active, smart, and intelligent packaging market. Also, the escalating demand for packaging that can more efficiently control moisture and gas, are some more drivers in the industry.
