Key Market Drivers:
- Supply Chain Efficiency: With over 90% of food waste in emerging countries occurring during storage and transportation, as highlighted by the Birmingham Energy Institute, there is a growing awareness of the need for efficient and sustainable agricultural packaging solutions to minimize food product loss.
- Innovations and Population Growth: Innovations in farming processes and the growing global population are fostering demand for food and, consequently, for agricultural packaging. The improved shelf life of biologicals and agrochemicals also contributes to market expansion.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: Increased awareness and adoption of eco-friendly packaging materials, such as paper and jute-based bags and pouches, are helping companies retain their customer base and sustain market growth.
- Use of Bulk Bags: The adoption of bulk bags for local and international transportation is becoming an industry standard due to their reliability, affordability, and durability, ensuring agricultural products arrive in optimal condition with minimal damage.
Apart from this, the surging adoption of agrochemicals will give tailwinds to the sales of agricultural packaging.
Among various products, the bags/bins and pouches segment is forecast to grow at over 5.8% cumulatively over the forecast period, accounting for over 70% of market share in 2021. Meanwhile, in terms of materials, the plastic agriculture packaging segment will gain traction in the market due to easy availability of plastics.
Growth prospects for the North America market are likely to remain positive driven by increasing export and production of agriculture packaging products in the U.S. As per FMI, the North America market for agricultural products will expand at 4.4% in 2021.
“ Increasing investment in research and development activities in the packaging industry will boost the market. Besides this, the implementation of strict laws regarding usage of non-biodegradable packaging for insecticides and pesticides will create a conducive environment for growth ,” said a FMI analyst.
