세계의 생분해성 및 퇴비화 가능 포장 시장 전망(-2029년)

Key facts:

• The market for biodegradable and compostable packaging is forecast to grow at 8.8% CAGR to reach 1.17 million tonnes in 2029.
• China is the largest consumer of biodegradable and compostable packaging in 2023, with a consumption share of 30%.

Consumption of biodegradable and compostable polymers for packaging will continue growing at a faster rate than petrochemical-based thermoplastic materials. Demand is driven by the growing desire of consumers, brand owners and governments to replace single-use fossil-based plastics with more sustainable packaging alternatives.

Definition:

In this report, biodegradable means polymers that can be broken down into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass by the natural action of microorganisms to significantly biodegrade within six months, a much shorter time period than the decades or centuries it takes conventional polymers to biodegrade.

For this report, compostable denotes a material that is able to be broken down into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass within a specific timeframe under specific conditions.

Key Questions:

• Is there a viable future for biodegradable and compostable packaging that can match materials based on fossil fuels?
• How are technical developments driving the market?
• How will biodegradable and compostable packaging compete with 'traditional' materials when it comes to performance properties?
• What does the end-of-life process look like for biodegradable and compostable packaging?

This report is essential to:

• Packaging raw material suppliers
• Packaging converters and manufacturers
• Retailers and brand owners
