Biodegradable Packaging Market-Global Size & Upcoming Industry Trends, 2024-2032.

Biodegradable Packaging Market size was valued at USD 88.52 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 137.32 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.00% from 2024 to 2032.

The biodegradable packaging market is a part of the larger packaging sector, with a focus on materials that are created to break down and decay naturally. These supplies include variety of items such as bags, films, containers, and wraps, designed for various industries like food and beverage, cosmetics, healthcare, and consumer goods. In exchange to regular plastics that can last for centuries in the environment, biodegradable packaging materials decompose into harmless compounds with the help of microorganisms. Significantly, the market consists of materials sourced from renewable sources such as plants (bio-based) and non-renewable sources like fossil fuels as long as they have the necessary molecular structure for proper breakdown. This means biodegradable packaging can be made from bio-based and fossil-based polymers.

Many important factors are driving the increasing need for biodegradable packaging. The concern is the growing environmental urgency, which is driven by the increasing effect of the negative ecological effects of plastic pollution. Growing awareness has led governments around the globe to implement strict laws focused on decreasing plastic waste and encouraging sustainable options. At the same time, an evolving consumer environment marked by increasing eco-awareness has sparked a need for items wrapped in eco-friendly materials.
