Regional Outlook

  • Region-wise, the Europe bioplastics packaging bags market commanded the largest share of 33.4% in terms of revenue in 2021. The region is expected to retain its lead by accumulating over 40% market share by end of the forecast period.
  • The growth is attributed to the presence of strict environment-friendly laws, and growing environmental concerns among consumers.
  • Along with this, government initiatives, such as the decision of the European Union to reduce the overall consumption of single-use plastic products, are expected to fuel the demand for bioplastics packaging materials during the assessment period.
  • In 2019, the members of the European Parliament voted to ban single-use plastic products, like cutlery and straws as part of a sweeping law against plastic waste that pollutes beaches oceans. This ban is expected to foster growth in the market in the forthcoming period.
  • Similarly, the United States bioplastics packaging market is anticipated to rise significantly during the forecast period. The accelerating demand for bio-based packaging in the food and consumer goods sectors is will determine the market growth.
  • Bio-bags and bio-based plastics possess higher tensile strength and are eco-friendly in nature. As a result, the demand for bioplastic packaging is further expected to rise during the projection period.
  • In addition, expanding composting infrastructure and increasing government efforts to reduce landfilling, through initiatives like the USA 2030 Food Loss and Waste Reduction Goal, are anticipated to propel the demand for bio-based bags or compostable bags used in the collection of food leftovers and other organic waste material during the projection period.
  • The market growth in Asia Pacific is projected to grow with CAGR of 12% during the forecast period. Factors such as flourishing packaging industry, rising trends of downsizing in packaging, surging breakthroughs in new technologies and innovations and growth in non-biodegradable materials are stimulating growth in the market.

How Competitive is the Market?

Latest developments and breakthroughs in technology, mergers, acquisitions, tie-ups, and partnerships within the companies involved in manufacturing bioplastic packaging bag solutions are anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for market growth during the forecast period.

  • In August 2021, Danimer Scientific completed the purchase of Novomer, a biodegradable polymer producer. This development will benefit the production of PHA-based resins and other biodegradable materials.
  • In January 2021, Novamont acquired BioBag Group, a Norway-based leading supplier of waste collection and packaging bags. This acquisition will enable Novamont to expand further and solidify its business into North America, the Scandinavian countries, Eastern Europe, and Australia. The firm could further benefit from Biobag’s highly specialized independent distribution network. Both companies will offer a complete solution to the market and develop long lasting alliances with key stakeholders such as large retailers and communities.

The extensive adaptability for the use of plastics in satchels and bags and their inadequate disposal is likely to add to the enormously increasing pollution loss of conventional, petroleum-based plastics.

Manufactured from a range of all-natural plant products, such as (PHAs), (PLAs) and corn. Bioplastic packaging bags also contain degradation additives and therefore have a lower impact on the ecosystem in general as well as on aquatic life in particular.

These bioplastic packaging bags are popular with traditional plastic products, especially fast-moving consumer goods and food packaging. Bioplastics are not harmful to nature and some are quickly damaged in versatile containers.

Bioplastic Packaging bags can be used for foodstuffs, medications, drinking bottles, packing films and packaging of non-food items, such as candy and tissues, toilet paper, cloths, towels for the body, cardboard, coat paper for cup and dishes, etc. Flexible and loose fill packaging is also included.

Bioplastic Packaging Bag Market: Dynamics

Sustainable Packaging to accelerate the market growth for Bioplastic Packaging bags

Eco plastics are used in predominantly natural-friendly plastic containers and in organic waste collection bioplastic packaging bags, primarily used in hospitals, hotels and restaurants, stores and markets and homes. Local governments in different countries have also started to use bioplastic packaging bags.

Bioplastics Packaging Bags are the most widely used in the field of the packaging industry, which is growing because of increasing environmental issues around the world. Asia-Pacific with nearly 45% of the global production capacity has the highest production volume of bioplastics.

A major issue of nonbiodegradable waste caused mainly by the disposal of traditional plastics around the globe has impacted by harmful effects in the atmosphere. This has significantly helped fuel the demand for and expansion of the global bioplastic packaging bags market.

The breakdown of bioplastics packaging bag is feasible with natural methods, such as microorganisms and composting. This is likely to be one of the most substantial factors in biodegradable packaging and is therefore a important factor in boosting market growth of bioplastic packaging bags.

Consumer Product Industry to gain traction for Bioplastic Packaging Bags

The second-largest end-user of bioplastic packaging bag sector is consumer products. Home appliances, mobile devices and others are the key consumer products included in this category.
