Based on material market is divided into polyester, nylon, polycarbonate, polyacrylamide, fluoropolymer, polyimide, polyolefin and others (including polyvinylidene chloride, ethylene vinyl alcohol, etc.). Among them the market is dominated by polyolefin material with significant market share. Polyolefin films are very adaptable, making them appropriate for a wide range of applications. They can be made with different thicknesses, mechanical capabilities, and barrier properties, making them perfect for a wide range of industries and specialized applications. Polyolefin films are less expensive than other specialty film materials, such as fluoropolymers. Their low cost makes them appealing to manufacturers and end users in a variety of industries, adding to their market dominance. Polyolefin shrink films are frequently utilized for packaging and product security. These films are ideal for bundling and protecting goods during transportation and storage due to their high clarity, great shrinkage qualities, and ease of processing.

Based on functionality the market include, barrier, safety and security, decorative, microporous, conduction and insulation and others (antistatic, anti-fog, waterproof, heat-resistant, release, light control, UV protection, etc.). Among them barrier functionality is dominating the market in United States. The rising emphasis on renewable energy and sustainable technology has raised demand for specialty films with barrier properties for solar panels and green energy applications. These films shield photovoltaic materials from external influences, ensuring optimal energy efficiency and solar cell durability. The packaging industry is one of the largest consumers of specialty films in the United States. Barrier function in packing films is critical because it protects the contents from external elements such as moisture, oxygen, and other pollutants. Specialty films with outstanding barrier properties improve the shelf life of packaged goods, preserve freshness, and prevent decomposition, making them in great demand in the food and beverage industry as well as other consumer goods sectors. With increasing consumer demand for food products with extended shelf life and reduced food waste, specialty films with advanced barrier functionalities have become indispensable. These films create a protective environment, preventing the ingress of oxygen and moisture and thereby maintaining the quality and integrity of packaged food items for a more extended period.
