According to Towards Packaging consultants, the global biopolymer packaging market is projected to reach approximately USD 70.83 billion by 2034, increasing from USD 24 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 11.43% during the forecast period 2025 to 2034
The market is witnessing significant growth due to increasing environmental concerns, stringent regulations on plastic use, and rising consumer preference for sustainable packaging solutions. Biopolymers, derived from renewable sources such as starch, cellulose, polylactic acid (PLA), and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), offer biodegradable and compostable alternatives to conventional plastics. Key industries driving demand include food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and personal care, where eco-friendly packaging is becoming a priority.
Technological advancements in barrier properties and mechanical strength are enhancing biopolymer performance. North America and Europe lead the market, while Asia-Pacific is emerging rapidly due to increasing industrialization, urbanization, and supportive government initiatives promoting sustainable packaging
