Additionally, an increase in waste production on the back of a rapidly growing population and urbanization is also expected to boost the market growth. According to The World Bank, the annual waste generation is expected to increase by 70% from 2016 levels to reach 3.40 billion tons in 2050.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the biodegradable packaging market on the back of the lockdown imposed by the government which resulted in a huge disruption in supply chain of raw materials, and further, adversely affected the production cycle of biodegradable packaging material.
High recycling and manufacturing costs and poor infrastructure available for recycling processes are the key factors restraining the growth of the market.
The market is segmented by application into food packaging, beverage packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, personal & home care packaging, and others. Among these segments, the beverage packaging segment is anticipated to hold the major share over the forecast period. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the high demand for non-alcoholic beverages and bottled water over the growing need for high-quality drinking water, the fear of diseases on drinking polluted tap water, and the ease of portability and convenience provided by bottled water. For instance, according to the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA), in 2020, 91% of Americans say bottled water should be available wherever other drinks are sold.
