Biodegradable polymers are used for both flexible and rigid packaging. It is used for organic food packaging as well as for premium branded products as requires. PLA is widely used for rigid packaging such as cosmetics packaging, beverages bottle packaging etc. Flexible packaging like films and trays are used for perishable food products such as fruits, vegetables to enable longer shelf life.
Food & Beverages industry is expected to command the largest market share of xx% by 2032.
The Food & Beverages industry is expected to receive huge market share during the forecasted period. Food & Beverages companies have stares to come with initiative to curb greenhouse gas emission. To support such moves PepsiCo collaborated with the Danimer Scientific for the development of Danimer Scientifics' biodegradable film resins to meet the sustainable flexible packaging requirements of PepsiCo's global food and beverage business.
Biopolymer Packaging Market Regional Insights:
Asia-pacific is expected to command the largest market share of xx% by 2032.
Asia-pacific region will drive the market in forecasted period. In accordance with the data released by the European Bioplastics, roughly around 56% of the total bioplastics production is made for and by the region of Asia Pacific. Compared to the year 2016, data suggests that the country has increased production capacity by 28%. Moreover, the Chinese government has emphasized on pollution free economic growth, which led Chinese plastic maker companies to look for biodegradable materials. This move of Chinese government will boost the use of biopolymer in various industry in the region. However, multiple companies are likely to invest more in APAC region as consumer awareness is increasing and emerging economies. In addition countries such as India are also providing favorable tax benefits towards environment friendly tech & solutions.
