As biodegradable packing peanuts are starch based product, and so it can be edible. Hence they can attracts rodents and bugs. Its production also costs higher than polystyrene based packing peanuts, and in such challenging economy, consumers often choose reduced costs over eco-friendly, more expensive alternatives. These factors are expected to hamper the global biodegradable packing peanuts market over the forecast period.

Global Biodegradable Packing Peanuts Market: Geographical Outlook

Based on regions, the global biodegradable packing peanuts market is divided into seven regions namely:

• North America
• Western Europe
• Asia-pacific except Japan
• Eastern Europe
• Latin America
