BIODEGRADABLE PACKAGING MARKET ANALYSIS Global Biodegradable Packaging Market,By Product Type (Plastic, Paper), End-Use Industry (Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Personal/Homecare), and Geography Insights, Size, Share, Opportunity Analysis, and Industry Forecast till 2025
Market Insights • Packaging is a technology that involves enclosing and protecting various types of products for storage,distribution, sale and use. The increasing demand for healthy,safe,convenience food,and growing industry & consumer awareness towards eco-friendly products in the recent past in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America respectively,has been rapidly driving the global biodegradable packaging market. Biodegradable refers to the ability of materials to break down and return to nature within a short time after disposal.The biodegradable polymers used for packaging are starch,polylactic acid (PLA),cellulose, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA),and others.The extensive use of starch and PLA as a biodegradable packaging material for food & beverages,and pharmaceuticals end-use industry is projected to boost growth of the biodegradable packaging market during 2017-2025.This is due to the high strength,versatility and recyclability properties of starch and PLA polymers.Furthermore,paper biodegradable packaging comprises mainly Kraft,flexible,corrugated,and box board materials,and is expected to be the fastest growing product type during the forecast period.
• The excessive use of corrugated,and flexible materials for the personal/homecare packaging applications is the key factor for the growth of biodegradable packaging during the forecast period. • The global biodegradable packaging is segmented into two types of product segment, namely, plastic biodegradable packaging and paper biodegradable packaging. Plastics was the largest product type segment in the global Biodegradable Packaging market in 2016 and is expected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period. The plastic product segment is further divided into starch, polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and others. The starch and PLA are the dominant product type sub-segments, and are highly used in food and beverages end-use industry due to their high biodegradable property, and recyclability nature. The growing demand for packaged food, growing population, and rapidly expanding beverages industry in Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific are key growth drivers for the global biodegradable packaging market. • The global Biodegradable Packaging market was valued at US$ 3,927.0 million and 969.9 kilo tons in 2016 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 20.8% in terms of revenue and 22.2% in terms of volume during 2017 – 2025.
Food segment is the largest end-use industry in the biodegradable packaging market Among end-use industry, food segment is expected to hold dominant position in the global biodegradable packaging market, followed by beverages segment over the forecast period. Moreover, over the following decade, the segment is also expected to witness fastest growth. Rapid increase in non-biodegradable food packaging waste leading to adverse environmental concerns have led to the development of polymers that are made from renewable resources for food packaging. Natural polymers used for the development of biodegradable polymer materials are derived from agricultural products such as starch, proteins, cellulose, and plant oils. Starch and polylactic acid (PLA) are two of the biopolymers that are targeted to be used in the food and beverages end-use industry for packaging material.
• Biodegradable and sustainable forms of packaging are being introduced by vendors to cater to the rising demand for ecofriendly packaging products.The Coca Cola Company launched its Plant Bottle, which is partially made from biobased plastics, while Danone is using PLA for its yoghurt cups. Also, UK-based Innovia Films is using wood pulp for the formation of cellulose-based film, which is similar to plastics.
Regional Insights • Europe, followed by North America, and Asia-pacific, respectively accounted for major share in the global biodegradable packaging market both in terms of revenue and volume in 2016 and the trend is estimated to remain the same over the forecast period. In 2016, Europe held a market share of 50.0% in terms of value in the global biodegradable packaging market. The large amount of plastic carrier bags are made from naphtha, which is a by-product of oil refining, which in turn is leading to the various environment problems. Owing to this, the government in Europe has imposed strict regulations to use biodegradable packaging materials for the manufacture of plastic and paper bags. This in turn has allowed the retailors of various countries in Europe to charge for a plastic bag, hence led to the decrease on the use of plastic bags from the consumers. Due to this, the manufacturers in Europe has started the huge manufacturing of biodegradable plastic and paper bags. According to EPA, the various initiatives taken by European government on the use of plastic bags are:-
• In April,2015,the European government has approved a directive requiring member states to take action to reduce the consumption and use of plastic bags of thickness less than 50 microns. • The governments of Denmark,Germany and Ireland have imposed taxes on plastic bags. • The Government of Italy has completely banned the distribution of plastic bags that are not from biodegradable sources • The Government of Wales,Scotland and Northern Ireland has started a minimum charge of 5 pence for almost all single use bags (including paper and plastic biodegradable bags). • In October 2015,the Government of England introduced a minimum charge of five pence for most single use plastic. • This in turn has is making Europe for the largest market of biodegradable packaging over the following years.Moreover, North America is estimated to be the second largest market for global biodegradable packaging 2016.This is due to the government regulations being imposed on banning plastic bags. Owing to this,the Government of California has passed a bill to ban single use plastic bags from 2016,and over 100 counties or municipalities have plastic bag bans or charges.
