The rapid R&D activities in order to produce biodegradable packaging materials are creating lucrative opportunities for market growth over the forecast period. The most used material is polylactic acid (PLA) which is currently used for the production of different packaging shapes including cups, bowls, foils, and food storage containers. Foamed PLA is used as an insulator and is an alternative to foamed polystyrene (PS). PLA has good mechanical properties, similar to polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polypropylene (PP). Additionally, an important component is a plasticizer, which enhances flexibility and extensibility. In general, these coatings exhibit higher water permeability, lower oxygen permeability, and inferior mechanical properties compared with traditional packaging. This drives the global biodegradable packaging industry.
Additionally, the integration of biodegradable PLA and PLA coated with a barrier of pure silicon oxide and in combination with a modified atmosphere extends the overall shelf life of the food product. Modified atmosphere packaging includes packaging which is made with carbon dioxide and nitrogen amalgamation to preserve the food for a long period. Modified atmosphere packaging amalgamated with the biodegradable packaging is likely to witness substantial growth in the overall market over the forecast period, which in turn, drives the global biodegradable packaging market.
Further, Mondi Group, Amcor Plc, Smurfit Kappa Group, International Paper Co., Berry Global Inc., Huhtamaki Group, TetraPak International S.A., and others are some of the key players contributing to the growth of the biodegradable packaging market. New product launches & developments, partnerships, agreements, and acquisitions are some of the key strategies adopted by the players in order to cope in the competitive market.
