Jun 01, 2023

NEW YORK, June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The global compostable plastic market size is estimated to increase by USD 1,905.33 million from 2022 to 2027. The market's growth momentum will progress at a CAGR of 15.54% during the forecast period. The increasing awareness of environmental concerns regarding plastic usage notably drives market growth. The growing awareness makes consumers more likely to purchase eco-friendly goods; thus, compostable plastics are becoming more common. Furthermore, a brand-new line of compostable plastic-packaged coffee capsules was unveiled recently. These compostable capsules offer the chance to recover used coffee grounds, which allows for their processing at a facility where they can add valuable nutrients to the finished compost. This is made possible while addressing consumer concerns and keeping packaging out of landfills. Hence, factors like the rising awareness of environmental concerns regarding the use of plastic drive market growth during the forecast period.

The report provides actionable insights and estimates the contribution of all regions to the growth of the global compostable plastic market.

Europe is estimated to account for 40% of the growth of the global market during the forecast period. The regional growth can be attributed to the consumers' high demand for eco-friendly packaging materials. As such products are good for the environment, government agencies also support this high demand and also established infrastructure for composting. Hence, these factors are anticipated to fuel the market for compostable plastic in the nation during the forecast period.

Compostable Plastic Market – Market Dynamics

Key Trends -

The growing number of investments, collaborations, and agreements among vendors is an emerging trend influencing market growth. The global vendors attempt to concentrate on investments, partnerships, innovation, new product introductions, acquisitions, and growth. Such steps taken by vendors will help marketers offer the best product and hold the largest market share during the forecast period.

For instance, the development of compostable bioplastics was to be aided by a USD 1 million investment in BOSK Bioproducts Inc. from the Canadian Department of Natural Resources in April 2021. Due to this funding, BOSK Bioproducts Inc. will be able to develop products and enhance their compatibility with manufacturers of existing machinery during the forecast period.

Major challenges -

The high costs of compostable plastics compared with conventional plastics are a major challenge that may impede market growth. The price of compostable plastic ranges from USD 2.65 to USD 6.68 per kilogram, compared to only USD 1.65 for conventional plastics, currently.

In addition to that, factors such as the low demand for bioplastics include high production costs due to vendors' small-scale production, high R&D expenditures, and significant price differences between conventional petroleum-based plastics and bioplastics. Hence, such factors are expected to hinder the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
