The garbage bag market was valued at $9.4 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $13.7 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2024 to 2033.
Garbage bag is a is a disposable bag that is intended to manage and dispose household, commercial, and industrial waste. They are available in various sizes, strengths, and colors to accommodate different types of waste and to fit different containers. These bags are majorly made from polyethylene, which is durable and resistant to tearing and leaking, thus facilitating disposal of trash in a hygienic and convenient manner.
The growth of the global garbage bag market is driven by exponential increase in population and rapid urbanization. With increasing population and expanding urban areas, the volume of waste generated is rising simultaneously, which is creating an alarming need for garbage bags. Furthermore, growth of industries and commercial sectors increases the need for larger and more specialized garbage bags for managing waste, which significantly contributes the expansion of the global market. In addition, increase in efforts to educate consumers about proper segregation of dry waste and wet waste is expected to boost the sale of garbage bags. However, implementation of government regulations on plastic use restrains the growth of the garbage bag market. On the contrary, rise in awareness about environmental impact and waste management drives the demand for eco-friendly and biodegradable garbage bags. In addition, technological advancements in materials and manufacturing processes has led to the development of stronger, more durable, and environmentally friendly garbage bags, which are anticipated to open new avenues for the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, introduction of garbage bags with built-in odor control technologies, such as scented liners or activated charcoal layers, to minimize unpleasant smells and integration of RFID tags to track and monitor waste disposal are gaining high traction. Furthermore, increase in initiatives to adopt sustainable practices is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for the market growth. For instance, many countries have adopted the circular economy approach that focuses on extending the lifecycle of products, minimizing waste, and making the most of resources. The European Union has been a pioneer in promoting circular economy practices through policies and regulations such as the Circular Economy Action Plan, which aims to make Europe a leader in sustainable resource management and waste reduction.
