The shift toward the use of bioplastic packaging by end-users is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the lack of adequate infrastructure may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Biodegradable Packaging Materials Market Driver
The shift toward the use of bioplastic packaging by end-users is the key factor driving the global biodegradable packaging materials market growth. The rise in environmental pollution and increasing consumer preference for products based on biodegradable materials are increasing environmental concerns across the world, driving the growth of the market during the forecast period. To meet consumer demand, many end-users such as retailers and food processors are focusing on offering their products in bio-plastic packaging.
Hence, increasing acceptance of bio-plastic packaging by various end-users will spur the growth of the biodegradable paper and plastic packaging market during the forecast period.
Significant Biodegradable Packaging Materials Market Trend
The continuous development of new products is the primary trend in the global biodegradable packaging materials market growth. Market vendors are investing in new product development and product innovation due to increasing demand and adoption of biodegradable paper and plastic packaging. They are constantly developing their product portfolio and investing in developing materials with specific properties for different applications.
Moreover, the manufacturers of packaging materials are now looking to differentiate their products from those of their competitors by offering the best possible biodegradable packaging products to meet the needs of their customers. Product development by some vendors encourages other vendors to introduce innovative products in order to remain competitive in the market. Such new product development is expected to increase the acceptance of the biodegradable paper and plastic packaging during the forecast period.
Major Biodegradable Packaging Materials Market Challenge
The lack of adequate infrastructure is a major challenge to the global biodegradable packaging materials market growth. The limited availability of collection infrastructure is one of the biggest challenges in improving the amount of recovered paper. The lack of awareness about the recycling of biodegradable materials and poor recycling habits result in such materials being dumped in landfills rather than being sent for composting or recycling. Landfills contain a staggering amount of paper waste. In the 20th century, the paper used to be a rare commodity; however, currently, it is one of the common resources that is highly exploited. When paper is thrown away in landfills, it can cause long-term problems.
Landfills emit greenhouse gases and methane, which is dangerous for the environment. This is because landfills lack proper light, water, and bacterial activities, which are essential for the decaying process. As the global population increases, the amount of waste generated and the waste that goes to landfills is also rising. Plastic-coated paper milk cartons require composting facilities for proper degradation. A shortage of such facilities worldwide is one of the major challenges faced by the market. The lack of investments in building proper infrastructure for composting or recycling papers is a severe problem that hinders the growth of the global biodegradable paper and plastic packaging market.

Europe is estimated to contribute 34% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. In 2022, Europe was the largest market for biodegradable paper and plastic packaging. The region is expected to have significant growth in the bioplastic packaging market during the forecast period as it is characterized by a high demand for packaging made from biodegradable materials, such as paper and bioplastics, for wrapping organic food and premium and branded products with specific requirements. Bioplastics are replacing petroleum-based plastics in the packaging industry. Hence, the packaging industry in Europe is expected to grow, concurrently driving the biodegradable paper and plastic packaging market. Some of the major revenue contributors to the biodegradable paper and plastic packaging market in Europe are the UK, Germany, Italy, France, and Sweden. In addition, there are strict rules and policies against the use of non-recyclable plastics in the region.
The regional market witnessed a few challenges due to the global outbreak of COVID-19. However, the demand for these materials remained the same from the pharmaceutical and medical industries as they were classified as essential industries and were operational even during the lockdown in 2020. In addition, the resumption of the hospitality, food, beverages, and retail sectors after the changing guidelines of lockdowns in the latter half of 2020 is expected to contribute to the growth of the market. Furthermore, the resumption of normal business operations in the region and the efficiently conducted vaccination drives are expected to drive the growth of the regional market in focus during the forecast period.
