Rising environmental concerns, increased shift of customers towards eco-friendly packaging, and favourable government regulations are some of the prominent drivers of market growth. The rising impact of plastic pollution on marine life and other natural habitats has fuelled the demand for alternatives. Every single day oceans, rivers, and other water bodies receive plastic waste equivalent to 2000 garbage trucks. Several enterprises are readily adopting sustainable packaging materials to reduce their carbon footprint and promote a green economy. Moreover, a large segment of consumers are gaining environmental awareness and are willing to pay extra price for biodegradable packaging.
Favourable government policies to ban the usage of single-use plastics and reduce plastic waste are also contributing to the market expansion. For instance, the single-use plastics derivative (SUP Directive) by the European Union aims to limit the consumption of single-use plastics and promote the usage of recyclable and compostable alternatives. Furthermore, research and developmental efforts in material science are leading to the development of materials that are cost-effective, biodegradable, and possess superior durability. Advancements in the material production processes such as extrusion and injection molding also make it economical and scalable to produce biodegradable packaging.
Market players are readily introducing innovative biodegradable packaging solutions to enhance their market reach. Pakka Limited, a provider of compostable packaging, collaborated with Brawny Bear in October 2023 for the introduction of India’s first compostable packaging. Additionally, Bio Plast Pom collaborated with Gdańsk University of Technology and other scientific institutes in March 2024 for the development of biodegradable material made from potato starch.
