Compostable Plastic Packaging Material Market Soars: Projected 5.2% CAGR by 2033 | FMI

Compostable Plastic Packaging Material Market

Anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 1.89 billion in 2023, the global market for compostable plastic packaging materials is poised for substantial growth. The continuous improvement of composting infrastructure further enhances the market’s potential, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% from 2023 to 2033, ultimately reaching an estimated total value of US$ 3.1 billion by 2033.

Compostable plastic packaging materials stand out as a greener alternative to traditional plastics due to their capacity to decompose into natural components during composting processes. These materials are commonly sourced from renewable materials like corn starch, sugarcane, or cellulose, contributing to a decrease in dependence on fossil fuels and non-renewable resources.

It is a known fact that plastic is the packaging materials’ foundation. However, as synthetic polymers are not capable of decomposing on natural count, they have been deteriorating the environment since the last few years. As such, compostable plastic packaging material is looked upon as a good alternative to plastic. The properties are analogous to conventional plastic – like shelf stability, durability, barrier properties, and likewise.

The United States is emerging as a promising market for compostable packaging material due to the increasing demand for sustainable solutions. Recent analysis by FMI projects that the U.S. will account for approximately 86% of total sales in North America until 2033. This growth is largely attributed to the escalating awareness of sustainability, which is gaining momentum among both consumers and businesses. The country is expected to maintain a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% over the analysis period.
