The retail paper bag market is poised for substantial growth, with an estimated market size of US$ 1.8 billion in 2024. Projections indicate a robust trajectory, surpassing US$ 2.7 billion by 2034, driven by a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%.

This trend reflects a broader societal shift towards favoring eco-friendly packaging alternatives over traditional polythene bags. As consumers increasingly prioritize sustainable choices, the demand for paper bags is witnessing a notable upswing.

This impressive growth in the global retail paper bags market is primarily attributed to the increasing adoption of sustainable packaging solutions across various industries.
