Regulatory mandates around single use plastics in food packaging have accelerated adoption of bioplastic alternatives. Additionally, the industry’s focus on brand sustainability and environmentally conscious consumers has reinforced demand.
The combination of regulatory pressure, consumer preference, and industry innovation has ensured that food and beverages remain the leading end use for bioplastics in packaging.
Bio-based plastics are extensively employed in several markets like packaging, consumer electronics, catering products, construction, automotive, and various other sectors. The packaging from bioplastics has evolved over the past decade.
New innovative materials such as PLA, PHA, and Bio PBS create packaging solutions with new functionalities like biodegradability, breathability, an increase in material strength, etc. Other new material like PEF offers better barrier properties than traditional polymers and can be easily mechanically recycled.
As per international standards, such as ISO 17088, ASTM 6400 (USA), and EN13432 (Europe), biopolymers are certified compostable. All the aforementioned factors are instrumental in its use in the packaging industry.
There is a high demand for bioplastic packaging for wrapping organic food also premium branded products. Materials such as PLA, bio-PE, or bio-PET are used in rigid bioplastics applications such as cosmetic packaging, beverage bottles, etc. In food, packaging biodegradability is the most sought feature.
Flexible packaging solutions like films enable longer life of the products. When it comes to protecting food the performance of bioplastic packaging is comparable and sometimes better than existing conventional packaging. Thus, the growth of bioplastics for packaging market is expected to jump significantly.
Driven by the growth of the sustainable packaging market across the globe, the bioplastics for packaging industry is anticipated to rise at 10.3% CAGR from 2025 to 2035. Plastic plays an essential role in protecting, providing, and delivering high-quality products in every market segment to consumers across the globe.
In the plastic industry, the leading market segment is the packaging segment. The enormous consumption of conventional plastic in packaging has resulted in overarching problems such as climate change and the future shortage of fossil resources, which has proliferated the search for better alternatives for plastic packaging.
Bioplastics are eco-friendly alternative solutions to traditional plastic solutions. Today, there is a bioplastic alternative for almost every traditional plastic material and application.
Bioplastics are bio-based, biodegradable, or both and offer similar or in some cases even better properties and functionalities as conventional plastics, also offer more benefits such as reduction of carbon footprint, organic recycling, better functionalities, etc.
With the growing environmental awareness of consumers, consumers want to buy products that have minimal impact on the environment. Furthermore, the ever-growing big brands are turning to compostable plastics solutions.
Due to Government regulations, the manufacturers are looking for innovative ways to reduce their environmental footprint and tapping into advanced technical properties that bioplastics have to offer. All these factors are expected to significantly drive bioplastics for packaging market.
| Country | Germany |
|---|---|
| Market Share % (2025) | 6% |
According to European Bioplastics (EUBP), bioplastic is a promising global market that is projected to grow significantly in the coming years. Innovative biopolymers like bio-based PP, PLA, and others continue to show a high growth rate. Every year around 4% of the oil is used to produce plastics globally.
With the rising global environmental crisis and the cost of oil rises, the Government and manufacturers are forced to take action to switch to a natural alternative. Germany supports the use and consumption of certified bio-based and compostable bio-waste garbage bags in the bio-waste ordinance since 2020.
The increasing government initiatives and promotion of bioplastic usage are expected to boost the market. The circular economy is the top priority for environmental policy in Germany and its people are aware of the importance of reducing plastic waste by opting the bio-based plastics to minimize the reliance on inadequate fossil resources.
| Country | India |
|---|---|
| CAGR % (2025 to 2035) | 10.9% |
