- Nano-enabled packaging utilizes nano materials with diameter less than 100 nanometers, for the manufacture of packaging materials. The packaging finds extensive application in food & beverage and pharmaceutical packaging as it provides longer shelf life and improves attributes such as taste, texture, color and consistency of the packaged food along with increased absorption and the bio availability of nutrients in foodstuffs. Government regulations have also boosted demand. The other segments where it finds application are personal care & cosmetics, prepared foods, bakery and meat products, fruit and vegetables. Despite the conveniences offered, low awareness among the users is hampering the market growth. Read more in在食品和饮料和药品中广泛的应用，以推动支持纳米包装的增长
