Retail Bags

US demand for retail bags is projected to increase 4.7% per year to $4.2 billion in 2023. While single-use plastic bag usage will continue to decline, growth in market value will result from a sharp increase in average prices as the product mix shifts to higher-priced paper and reusable bags. The proliferation of single-use bag regulations will have a profound impact on retail bag market size and the types of bags that are used in the future.

This study analyzes the market for retail bags in the US. Retail bags are bags used at the point of sale for consumers to carry their purchases from the store.
