Self-heating food packaging products provide cooked hot meals without the need of heating appliances such as microwaves. The packaging includes chemicals that produce an exothermic reaction when exposed to air or moisture to heat up the enclosed food contents. This enhances the product shelf life by eliminating the possibility of contamination through heating appliances. The global self-heating food packaging market is estimated to be valued at US$ 61.36 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 27% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.


Market key trends:

One of the key trends driving the growth of the self-heating food packaging market is the increased product shelf life offered by these packaging solutions. The self-heating mechanism on exposure activates an exothermic reaction that cooks as well as seals the product, preventing microbial deterioration. This leads to enhanced shelf life of the packaged food product without refrigeration. The product remains edible and microbiologically safe for a longer duration. The enhanced shelf life also benefits retail stores and distributors with reduced logistics costs. It further increases the accessibility of cooked meals to consumers in remote locations without access to heating facilities. The extended shelf life offered is translating into increased demand and faster market growth.
Segment Analysis
The global self-heating food packaging market is dominated by the canned/jarred food segment. This segment accounted for over 40% of the overall market share in 2023. The popularity of canned/jarred food products like soups, beans, and ready-to-eat meals among consumers coupled with their long shelf life without any refrigeration requirements have helped drive the adoption of self-heating technology in cans/jars. Self-heating cans/jars enable consumers to heat and consume the packaged food quickly and easily without the need for additional cooking equipment.
