The global bioplastics packaging market size was valued at USD 5.80 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 6.33 billion in 2024 to USD 14.07 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.50% during the forecast period.

Bioplastic packaging, made from bio-based and biodegradable materials, serves various sectors such as food & beverage and personal care. Unlike traditional petroleum-based plastics, bioplastics decompose faster and emit fewer greenhouse gases. The rising demand for sustainable packaging has fuelled the growth of the market.

The COVID-19 pandemic drove a surge in demand for corrugated boxes by altering consumer behaviour. The outbreak also exacerbated plastic pollution with increased use of single-use plastics such mask and gloves. Temporary pauses on plastic bags and a shift to online food deliveries and disposable containers further contributed to this trend.
