Bioplastics Packaging Market
The global bioplastics packaging market size was valued at USD 5.80 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 6.33 billion in 2024 to USD 14.07 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.50% during the forecast period.
Bioplastic packaging, which can be bio-based, biodegradable, or both is used for home and personal care products. Unlike traditional plastics, these products break down faster and generate less greenhouse gas emissions. The growing demand for environmentally friendly products is boosting the market. Moreover, chemical manufacturers are investing in bio-based chemicals, expanding the availability of raw materials for products and supporting market growth.
The global pandemic surged the demand for corrugated boxes due to changes in consumer behaviour. The COVID-19 pandemic also contributed to plastic pollution through the rise in single-use plastics such as face shields, gloves, and masks. Additionally, bans on single-use plastics were paused, and there was a shift toward online food deliveries and disposable takeaway containers.
