Banana plant fibers are increasingly utilized in producing natural banana paper, offering processed banana paper as a sustainable alternative in the paper industry. This shift towards eco-friendly alternatives aligns with growing consumer demand for eco-friendly paper product across various sectors, including sanitary and food package. Companies like Ace Matrix are at the forefront, leveraging leading and emerging technologies to innovate within this space. Research and development focus on both organic developments and inorganic developments, shaping a competitive scenario where niche insights drive strategic decision-making processes. This historic backdrop of innovation underscores the potential of banana plant fibers in creating environmentally sound solutions for the paper industry. The incorporation of sustainability principles into the development of eco-friendly paper products requires meticulous research design and a strategic decision-making process, especially in sectors like food packaging where environmental impact is critical.
The increased use of banana paper is notably driving the banana paper market growth. Banana paper is an eco-friendly paper produced either from the fiber inside the pseudo-stem or from the bark of the banana plant. Banana plants produce fruits once a year, thereby leaving abundant waste or byproducts after the harvest. The leftover waste severely impacts the surrounding ecosystem by polluting water bodies and underground water. The leftover stems of banana plants contain more than 90% water, 3% resins, and 2% glucose. The availability of these pseudo-stems without any significant commercial value offers a great opportunity to vendors operating in the global banana paper market to produce eco-friendly paper.
Moreover, banana paper is eco-friendly and is used in making business cards, tape, envelopes, wrapping paper, memo cards, paper pens, greeting cards, wine labels, packaging, stickers, wallets, notebooks, and sketchbooks. Banana stems contain more than 4% of the usable fiber to manufacture banana paper, thereby providing a recyclable, eco-friendly, and economical solution for manufacturing paper. In addition, chemicals are not used for processing during the production of paper from banana fiber. Therefore, the production of paper from banana fiber has a minimal impact on the environment. The entire process of banana paper production utilizes less energy and water than that consumed in ordinary paper production.
The growth of the banana production industry is the primary trend driving the banana paper market growth. Banana is recognized as one of the major fruit crops produced in more than 120 countries globally, with Asia, South America, and Africa as the major banana producers. The global annual production of bananas increased by 59.48% during 2000-2019. The global production of bananas and tropical fruits is projected to grow at 1.8% annually between 2019 and 2028. The largest suppliers of these fruits are expected to continue to be those in Asia, and the region was projected to account for 55% of the global output of tropical fruit in 2018. Global exports of bananas, excluding plantain, reached a new record high with an estimated 21 million tonnes in 2019, marking an increase of 10.2% over that in 2018.
Moreover, in Asia, India and China are recognized as the major producers of bananas. In 2019, India exported around 174.1 thousand tonnes of bananas. Central and South America were the major exporters of bananas globally. Annually, the top 15 banana-producing countries process more than 40 million tons of bananas and discrete waste such as damaged bananas and pinzote (banana stems). More than nine million metric tons of pinzote are released into local rivers or dumped in landfills. The continuous rise in and generation of waste banana products can be put to productive use by using it for manufacturing banana paper, thereby driving market growth further.
Lack of product awareness and product penetration is the major challenge impeding the banana paper market growth. Despite the increased demand for banana paper, the overall performance of the market has been modest. The slow growth of the market can be attributed to the low awareness of the product. It has been noted that many buyers are more aware of and interested in purchasing other types of paper, such as mango and sugarcane-based paper. India is recognized as the major producer of banana paper. However, the domestic consumption of banana paper is relatively less than that of other types of handmade paper. Of all the banana paper products produced in India, a large proportion accounts for exports to developed countries and that too in the form of value-added products.
However, to increase the consumption of banana paper, vendors are heavily investing in marketing and promotional activities. They are focused on consumer engagement, reinforcement of brand relevance, brand awareness, and guiding consumers to stores or shopping websites. They use various methods, such as direct marketing, including e-mail, print advertising, catalogues, and brochures; in-store events; and Internet marketing techniques, to increase their brand equity and promote their products. However, the lack of awareness and product penetration of banana paper, especially in developing countries, is expected to hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The market share growth by the offline segment will be significant during the forecast period. The offline segment of the global banana paper market held the largest market share in 2022. The revenue from the offline distribution channel has been declining gradually owing to the growing preference for online shopping. To overcome this challenge, major retailers are expanding their stores in local and regional markets. The revenue of the offline distribution channel comes from the sales of products through speciality store; hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, clubhouse stores; and department stores. Supermarket and hypermarket chains are focusing on increasing the number of stores. For instance, in September 2019, Kroger Co. opened a new 52,000 sqft urban format store in the US. Such expansions of supermarket and hypermarket chains will enhance the accessibility of customers and increase the sales of banana paper.

The offline segment showed a gradual increase in market share with USD 166.60 million in 2017 and continued to grow by 2021. Vendors should resort to the online-to-offline (O2O) business strategy to enhance sales from the offline distribution channel and promote the digital experience of buyers. They should adopt omnichannel commerce and multi-marketing strategies. The offline channel provides various benefits to buyers, including in-store pickup of goods purchased online, the purchase of goods online while being at the physical store, and the return of products purchased online to preferred stores. Adopting these strategies will help vendors increase their market shares and expand their consumer base during the forecast period.

APAC is projected to contribute 64% by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. Globally, India and China are the largest producers of banana crops. Factors such as increased literacy rate, the high rate of deforestation, and rising demand for craft paper have spurred the demand for handmade paper varieties, including banana paper, in APAC. For instance, during 2015-2018, more than 20,000 hectares of forest land in India were diverted for various developmental activities, including papermaking. The increased awareness about the disadvantages of using plastic for packaging has further widened the market's growth prospects. More than 40% of the plastic produced in India is used for packaging. However, increasing awareness among consumers of the harmful effects of plastic consumption has triggered the demand for eco-friendly packaging methods, thereby driving the demand for banana paper.
