Drivers and constraints of growth
driver
- Environmental Awareness : With over 8 million tonnes of plastic entering the oceans annually, consumer demand for environmentally friendly products is soaring. Millennial and Gen Z buyers in particular are driving brand preference for companies that embrace zero-waste practices.
- Global regulations : Policies such as the EU's Single-Use Plastics Directive and state-level mandates in the US are accelerating the shift to recyclable and compostable packaging.
- Materials innovation : Innovations in biopolymers and edible packaging are expanding the possibilities, increasing durability and scalability while reducing reliance on landfills.
restraint
- High production costs : Biopolymers and edible packaging are still 20-30% more expensive than traditional plastics , limiting their adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises.
- Low awareness in emerging markets : In regions such as South Asia and Africa, affordability outweighs sustainability, and limited recycling infrastructure further hinders adoption.
Regional Outlook
- North America : Driven by US regulations and strong consumer demand, particularly in California, the region is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8% through 2032.
- Europe : Germany and the UK are leading the implementation with strong circular economy initiatives, supported by the EU Plastics Directive.
- Asia Pacific : The fastest-growing region with a CAGR of 12% driven by policy reforms in China and India, rapid growth in e-commerce, and increasing urbanization.
