Sustainable Packaging Market: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, till 2035

Sustainable Packaging Market: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, till 2035

The Sustainable Packaging Market is valued at USD 9.67 billion in 2024 growing at a CAGR of 6.43% during the forecast period 2024-2035.

The packaging process is crucial in the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the strength and integrity of products. However, traditional packaging materials such as glass, plastic, metal, and cardboard generate a significant amount of waste, which can't decompose naturally and ends up in landfills. The increasing demand for packaging solutions due to the growing pipeline of pharmaceutical drug candidates has exacerbated the issue, with over 500 million tons of waste generated globally.

To address this challenge, packaging providers are developing innovative solutions using eco-friendly raw materials. Some companies have eliminated the need for secondary packaging altogether, such as Syreen prefilled syringes made from cyclic olefin polymer (COP). Sustainable packaging materials can decompose naturally and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, making them a more attractive option for the healthcare industry. Consumer awareness of environmental issues has led to a shift in consumer preference towards eco-friendly packaging materials. Many sustainable packaging companies are developing novel green packaging solutions using biodegradable materials like corn starch, sugarcane, cotton wool, and cassava.

However, there are challenges associated with using environmentally friendly packaging materials. For instance, they may not maintain a sterile environment or interact with the products enclosed, degrading the product. Additionally, these materials are often more expensive than traditional materials and require specialized handling. To overcome these challenges, industry players are actively developing innovative solutions.

The increasing demand for innovative solutions and investor interest in this domain has led to significant growth prospects for the sustainable packaging market during the forecast period.
