India’s pet food market has been expanding rapidly, driven by rising pet adoption and premiumisation, with the segment estimated to be one of the fastest-growing within the broader pet care industry. This surge in demand has created a need for reliable, and safe packaging structures – a need Cosmo Films is addressing through its enhanced specialty film portfolio.

Cosmo Films’ new offering includes its TR-BOPP heat-resistant transparent film, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 185°C with uniform linear tear, creating a strong alternative to conventional PET print layers used in pet food packaging. The portfolio also features anti-fog transparent BOPET lidding films, COPET-coated BOPET for improved adhesion and machinability, and coated metallized BOPET films designed to provide excellent oxygen and moisture barrier performance for sensitive dry and wet pet food applications. It further addresses dry pet food, treats, and functional nutrition segments through Ultra High Barrier (UHB) grade metallized BOPP films, which serve as a sustainable replacement for aluminium foil by reducing material complexity while delivering robust oxygen and moisture barrier performance, and the ready-to-eat pet food segment through retort-grade CPP films that withstand high-temperature processing while ensuring food safety and shelf-life integrity.

Commenting on the product introduction for the market, Mr Pankaj Poddar, Group CEO, Cosmo First said “The pet food category is evolving rapidly, and packaging must evolve with it. With this expansion, we are leveraging our deep specialty films expertise and applying critical insights gained from building Zigly, our fast-growing pet care business. Our direct understanding of pet parent consumer behaviour and product requirements enables us to engineer packaging films that deliver superior safety, barrier performance, convenience, and brand differentiation. This is a strategic category for the future, and we are committed to supporting its growth with world-class solutions.”

The new expanded offerings cater to the growing demand for packaging solutions that ensure product protection, safety, extended shelf life, and visual appeal. The films are also backed by the company’s globally recognized food-safe manufacturing standards, including FSSC 22000 and FDA-compliant structures, making them highly compatible and intuitive to deploy across both dry and wet pet food applications.

Cosmo Films foray into pet-food-ready packaging films aligns with its broader strategy of expanding into high-growth, high-value applications across flexible packaging. Supported by strong R&D capabilities, global certifications, and multi-technology manufacturing, the company continues to drive innovation across categories that demand enhanced performance and safety.
