Biodegradable Packaging Materials Market Global Competition Outlook

The groundswell of interest in biodegradable packaging materials world over is riding on the wave of the rising popularity of environmental-friendly, recyclable alternatives. In the packaging industry, the adoption of biodegradable packaging among manufacturers has gathered immense pace in recent years. The wide breadth of materials that fall under biodegradable packaging bear the key characteristic of decomposition or degradation into natural materials when acted upon by microorganisms in relatively short time frame when placed in natural environments. They are biodegradable polymers that can be either bio-based or fossil-based, and in most cases can be harvested from nature made using green manufacturing processes.

Bio-based biodegradable materials are biopolymers come from plants and microorganisms. Some of the popular items used for packaging are starch-based plastics, cellulose, poly (lactic acid) (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), and chitosan. They may contain blends of synthetic materials containing additives and pigments used to enhance the functional attributes of the final packaging. Some of the popular biodegradable packaging paper materials are corrugated board, boxboard, and flexible paper.

The report offers evidence-based insights into the key growth dynamics, prominent trends, technological advances, and the strategic landscape. Market participants looking for clear signals on emerging opportunities and lucrative avenues will find the study a treasure trove.

Global Biodegradable Packaging Materials Market: Trends and Opportunities

The use of biodegradable materials in the packaging industry is gaining strength from the constantly rising demand for recyclable materials in end-use industries such as personal and home care, food and beverages, and pharmaceuticals. This is notably underpinned by spiraling consumer awareness about their benefits. In particular, in the food packaging industry, there has been an extensive use of biodegradable packaging materials to promote green living in various parts of the world, essentially by reducing waste. Several regional and global regulations to reduce the ecological hazards of overflowing landfills have provided a striking momentum to the adoption of biodegradable packaging materials. In addition, the sustained and substantial thrust to adopt sustainability in modern living has led to a wide-ranging demand for such packaging materials in recent decades.

In various parts of the world, the move toward adopting biodegradable materials among manufacturers has gathered steam on account of efforts to supplant petroleum-based with corn-based biodegradable products. This has also been driven by intensifying focus of numerous governments to adopt a low-carbon economy. Developing cost-competitive biodegradable packaging materials has gained traction in the packaging industry across the globe. The advent of packaging products made of biodegradable materials that contain a variety of blends has led to product innovations, unlocking promising avenues in the global market.
