Global Biodegradable Plastic Packaging Market Research Report Type (Starch Based plastic, Cellulose Based Plastics, Polylactic Acid (PLA), and Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)), Application (Food and Beverage, Pharmaceutical, and Personal/Homecare), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Rest of the World) - Forecast till 2030
During the forecast period, the Biodegradable Plastic Packaging industry is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. Packaging is frequently employed for advertising purposes and facilitates product transportation and distribution. A promising alternative to plastic packaging is biodegradable packaging, which is composed of natural constituents such as starch, cellulose, protein, and vegetable oil. In response to government regulations, numerous retailers have implemented the use of biodegradable plastic bags and recycled paper to package their products.
The substantial decrease in carbon emissions generated during the manufacturing process in comparison to conventional plastic is one of the most apparent benefits of employing biodegradable polymers to manufacture plastic bags. It is imperative to compost or recycle biodegradable plastics to guarantee that the plastic particles decompose optimally and facilitate natural decomposition. It is anticipated that the biodegradable plastic packaging industry will experience substantial growth in the years ahead. Biodegradable polymers derived from these sources are typically renewable and contribute to the preservation of a sustainable environment. Traditional packaging plastics are hazardous, non-biodegradable, and contribute to air pollution, water contamination, and global warming. It is anticipated that the demand for biodegradable plastics from end-use industries, in conjunction with the expansion of emergent economies, will present biodegradable plastics manufacturers with significant opportunities. In order to mitigate environmental and economic concerns, an increasing number of food and beverage manufacturers are transitioning to biodegradable plastics. The packaging industry is experiencing a demand for biodegradable polymers because of the increased governmental regulations that are requiring businesses to reduce their carbon footprint. Nevertheless, the biodegradable plastic packaging sector is unable to expand at a rate that is comparable to that of its traditional counterpart due to the exorbitant prices. The biodegradable plastic packaging industry is experiencing a surge in growth because of the expansion of government initiatives.
