Biodegradable Packaging Market - Growth, Trends, Covid-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)
The Biodegradable Packaging Market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.35 percent over the forecast period. The demand for biodegradable packaging has increased over the past decade due to the growing awareness concerning environmental conservation, especially in the post-pandemic scenario. The growth of the market is being driven by increased consumer preference toward sustainable packaging materials and expanding demand for recyclable and biodegradable products across various end-user industries.
Key HighlightsThe trend toward using and seeking natural materials and additives for personal or cosmetic products has been rising as the adverse effects of synthetic materials on health and the environment became apparent. Currently, marketing trends are turning toward natural solutions for cosmetics, which promote a healthy lifestyle.
According to a survey conducted by Mondi Group in April 2022, the EU Plastics Strategy aims to transform how plastic products are designed, manufactured, used, and recycled in the EU. While this is important for the environment, it is also important for commercial success as consumers increasingly turn to brands that are taking smarter steps to tackle sustainability. Also, 64% of consumers in France, Italy, Poland, and Spain have switched to home brands that have adopted more sustainable packaging solutions in the past year alone.
United Kingdom is Expected to Show Significant Growth RateThe biodegradable packaging market is highly fragmented. The market studied comprises Amcor Limited, Sealed Air Corporation, Mondi Group PLC, and Tetra Pak International SA. Several regional firms in countries such as India are also trying to gain market share. Barriers to entry are low, resulting in the advent of smaller players and further increasing competitive rivalry.
In June 2021, Tetra Pak tied up with the FINISH Society, a well-known solid waste management NGO, to increase collection of used carton packages in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. As part of the collaborative effort, FINISH Society will be working with the Municipal Corporation of Udaipur to recover used packs of juice or milk from the corporation’s sorting centers, which will then be channeled to the nearest recycler. Tetra Pak and FINISH Society will also focus on raising awareness among the waste-picker community about the value of collecting used beverage cartons and selling them to a recycler.
