The global biodegradable plastic packaging market is evaluated at US$6.352 billion for the year 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.40% to reach the market size of US$14.394 billion by the year 2026.
Market Overview.
Growing environmental concerns coupled with stringent regulatory standards have led plastic manufacturers to develop biodegradable plastic. Rising demand for sustainable packaging solutions across industries such as food and beverage and pharmaceuticals is fuelling the demand for biodegradable plastic packaging, thus bolstering the growth of the global biodegradable plastic packaging market. Supportive government policies further propel the growth of the biodegradable plastic packaging market. For instance, Europe implemented legislation to reduce the number of single-use carrier bags.
The advent of COVID-19 had a negative impact on the biodegradable plastic packaging market given the drop in the demand in the packaging industry as the supply chains were severely disrupted during the period and end-user industries came to a standstill for several months. As the industries resume operations in the first half of 2021, the market is expected to witness signs of recovery in near future and regain the lost pace during the forecast period.
The increasing number of applications from the end-user industries is expected to fuel the market during the forecast period.
