Susceptor Sleeves Market Growth Reflects Rising Demand For Crispy Microwave-Ready Prepared Food Packaging

Image
  The global susceptor sleeves market is projected to grow from USD 132.1 million in 2026 to USD 205.1 million by 2036, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5% during the forecast period. The market was valued at USD 126.4 million in 2025. Demand is supported by food manufacturers seeking packaging that restores browning and crispness during microwave reheating, particularly for prepared meals and texture-sensitive food products. A regulatory development affecting material qualification occurred on March 17, 2026, when the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made Food Contact Notification 2486 effective. The notification covers a specified EVOH coating on paper or paperboard under defined conditions, including microwave susceptor applications. This illustrates the importance of food-contact authorization alongside heating performance when manufacturers qualify packaging materials for commercial use. The report also identifies Germany's implementation of the EU P...

Aerosol Contract Filling Services Market Outlook Reveals Opportunities Across Personal Care And Cosmetics

Image
  The global aerosol contract filling services market is projected to grow from USD 1.0 billion in 2026 to USD 2.2 billion by 2036, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3% over the forecast period. The market was valued at USD 0.9 billion in 2025, according to Future Market Insights (FMI).
