The biodegradable film market is slated to have a valuation of USD 1,258.4 million in 2024. The packaging industry is thriving as a result of the industrial boom, especially in Asian nations. However, the packaging industry also has to face up to the reality of a significant amount of products being used in packaging being harmful to the environment. Thus, there is a clamor for green packaging solutions and biodegradable films are one such solution that is being embraced.
The biodegradable film industry is slated to progress at a CAGR of 4.1% through 2034. The food and beverage sector is set to play a key role in the progress of the market. Not only are consumers attracted by biodegradable nature but also to its ability to limit wastage. Cosmetics is another industry where eco-friendly packaging is rising in value and is thus another avenue for growth when it comes to biodegradable films.
By the time 2034 rolls around, the biodegradable film market’s value is forecasted to hit USD 1,880.7 million. Increasing use of biodegradable mulch films in the agriculture sector is set to add significant value to the market. Hospital use of the product is also set to contribute to the market’s progress.
However, the biodegradability of a film varying from material to material is set to limit the progress of the market. The inability of certain films to biodegrade in landfills as well as films that take a prolonged amount of time to degrade are also restraining the progress of the market.
“Biodegradable films are expected to progress along with the growth of the industries like food and beverage and agriculture. Though there is apprehension over the biodegradable nature of certain products in the market, the availability of new materials in the manufacture of biodegradable films is set to give a new dimension to the industry. Thus, the market offers ample opportunities for investors,” says Ismail Sutaria (Lead Consultant, Packaging and Materials at FMI).
