Green Packaging Market: Key Drivers and Trends

The growing demand for bio-based resins as a packaging material is notably driving the green packaging market growth, although factors such as a rise in the prices of green packaging solutions due to the high cost of bio-based resins may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the green packaging market industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Green Packaging Market Key Driver

One of the key factors driving growth in the green packaging market is the growing demand for bio-based resins as a packaging material. The packaging solutions manufactured from renewable bio-based resins or bio-based polymers, such as starch, cellulose, bio-epoxy, and polyglycolic acid, are helping businesses to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. DuPont has developed Biomax Strong and Surlyn polymers for the manufacturing of packaging solutions. Bio-based resins have no or minimal effects on the environment. The degradation of polymer resins is generated by products such as water and hydrocarbons, which do not harm the environment. For instance, the use of Biomax Strong to the renewably sourced polylactic acid increases the strength of the material and reduces the energy consumption during extrusion by 30%. Thus, the growth in the demand for sustainable packaging materials across the value chain is driving the growth of the global green packaging market.

Green Packaging Market Key Trend

The rising demand for green packaging from emerging countries is another major factor supporting the green packaging market share growth. The main reason for the growth of the market in such countries is the change in the perception of retailers and consumers about packaging materials as packaging waste accounts for a large share of the global plastic waste. The rise in the number of landfills with plastic waste is increasing the emission of greenhouse gases, which will harm the environment. The rising global concerns regarding global warming have forced countries across the globe to draft a global agreement, namely the Paris Agreement or COP 21, on the reduction of the climate change impact. The growing demand for sustainable business development in emerging countries will strengthen the global demand for green packaging solutions.

Green Packaging Market Key Challenge

The rise in the prices of green packaging solutions due to the high cost of bio-based resins will be a major challenge for the green packaging market. The uncertainty in the demand and supply of bio-based resins has increased the volatility of the prices of raw materials. The cost of producing biodegradable polymers is 25%-75% higher than that of conventional plastics. The high cost of polymers increases the production cost of packaging solutions. The global green packaging market is at the nascent stage, and the degree of competition is high in the market. A rise in production costs will reduce the profit margin of the packaging vendors.
