Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Biodegradable Food Packaging Films Market size is projected to grow at substantial growth rate during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037.
The rapid increase in non-biodegradable food packaging waste has caused adverse environmental concerns. This has led to the development of polymers made from renewable resources for food packaging. Natural polymers derived from agricultural products (such as starch, proteins, cellulose, and plant oils) are the primary resource for developing renewable and biodegradable polymer materials. The growth of the market can also be attributed to factors such as the increasing demand of food and beverages products as well as rising concern in environment and food safety amongst individuals on a global level. According to the European Bioplastics, Global production capacities of bioplastics in the year 2019 and 2020 were 1.95 million tons and 2.11 million tons respectively.
