Agriculture Packaging Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Material (Plastic, Metal, Paper & Paperboard and Glass), Product (Bags & Sacks, Bulk Containers, Pouches , Containers and Other Products), Application (Pesticides, Fertilizers, Seeds and Other Application Types ), and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agriculture Packaging Market is accounted for $5.24 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $7.87 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period. The packaging for agricultural products secures against contaminating factors like air, moisture, microorganisms, and poisons. Agriculture experts point out those proper packing stops products from spilling or leaking. The packaging of agricultural products within the industry offers benefits in terms of quality, price, speed, and innovation. When it comes to protecting products from physical and chemical harm, packaging is crucial. It also gives customers and marketers important information. Agriculture packaging enables farmers to supply food securely and conveniently. It minimizes needless food loss during the production, shipping, and storage phases of post-harvest processing. Between farmers and consumers, it assures both short- and long-term stability.

According to the Birmingham Energy Institute, more than 90% of food waste in developing countries occurs during storage and transportation. Hence the growing awareness regarding the loss of food products during harvesting and shipping is driving the demand for cost-effective and sustainable agricultural packaging solutions.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand for environmentally friendly packaging

Major corporations are adopting agricultural packaging at a quicker pace thanks to growing environmental consciousness across industrialised countries. The use of agriculture packaging by organizations to keep their audience is what is causing the market for agriculture packaging to expand globally. Moreover, the demand for harmful crop protection compounds like pesticides and fertilisers is driven by the rise in pest infestations. In order to decrease risk when handling, storing, and shipping these agrochemicals, they require complex packaging. As a result, there is an increasing need for agricultural packaging solutions for agrochemicals to lengthen their shelf life and are encouraging the growth of the market.

Restraint:

Unpredictability of raw material prices

The primary issues limiting the growth of the agricultural packaging market are the unpredictability of raw material prices as well as the regeneration of outdated and rejected packaging materials. Plastics are created, for instance, using petroleum and crude oil. Due to the increased volatility of oil prices, the industry has a significant problem balancing the pricing of packaging products. The regeneration of packaging waste has been a hurdle across the industrial packaging industry, and more so for agrochemical packaging, due to the entrapment of dangerous compounds inside agrochemical packaging are hampering the market growth.

Opportunity:

The growing market for pesticides and fertilizers

The market for fertilisers and insecticides has expanded substantially. Due to the increased use of pesticides and fertilisers in the agriculture business, the population growth is the main factor influencing the market for pesticides and fertilisers. Pesticides come in a variety of packaging types, including sacks, pouches, bags, and containers, among others. The market for farm packaging will grow due to the rising demand for effective and environmentally friendly packaging as well as rigorous environmental legislation promoting sustainable packaging solutions.

Threat:

Environmental Degradation

People are becoming concerned about the state of the environment. A prominent parameter in the degradation of the environment is packaging waste. Waste builds up during every stage of the agricultural process. Substantial improvements in these systems are required to meet the needs of the public and the environment. Hence government regulations are needed to help incentivise and mandate more sustainable production practices. The responsibility lies in every member of the process. The entire life cycle of produce must be considered. Collaboration between government, corporations, and consumers must be shaped to create a genuinely sustainable cycle of producing, packaging, and consuming helps overcome the environmental degradation.
