Market Overview:
The global eco-friendly food packaging market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing awareness about the benefits of using eco-friendly food packaging and the rising demand for sustainable packaging solutions from consumers and retailers alike. The paper and paperboard segment is expected to dominate the global eco-friendly food packaging market, owing to its low environmental impact as compared to other types of materials such as plastic, metal, glass, and other materials used for food packaging. The fruits and vegetables segment is expected to be the fastest growing application segment in this market during the forecast period. This can be attributed primarily to factors such as rising consumer awareness about healthy eating habits and increasing demand for fresh fruits and vegetables across regions.
Product Definition:
Eco-friendly food packaging is made from materials that can be recycled or composted. It is important because it reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
Paper and Paperboard:
Paper and paperboard are the two main raw materials used for manufacturing eco-friendly food packaging products. Paper is made from cellulose fibers that are extracted from wood pulp. The other raw material used in the production of paper is carbon black, which helps to give it a high contrast against white paper. Paper can be manufactured using different printing processes such as offset lithography, gravure printing, flexography, digital print technology and screen print process among others.
Plastic:
Plastic is derived from petroleum and has been used as a raw material for the production of packaging solutions. It can be categorized into two types, namely polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Plastic is widely used in the food packaging industry owing to its properties such as durability, flexibility, strength, low cost & weight along with resistance to chemicals & high temperatures.
Application Insights:
The fruits and vegetables packaging segment led the market in 2017. This is attributed to increasing demand for eco-friendly produce bags, which are biodegradable and composed of natural fibers. Furthermore, these produce bags do not have any effect on the environment as compared to conventional plastics used for this purpose.
Meat and poultry packaging is expected to witness a significant growth rate over the forecast period owing to rising disposable income levels coupled with changing lifestyle patterns of consumers in emerging economies such as India and China. In addition, an increase in meat consumption across developing countries including Brazil, Indonesia Malaysia has boosted industry growth further driving demand from food packaging applications worldwide. Other application segments include dairy products packaging materials such as cheese wraps & boxes; frozen desserts; confectionery products such as chocolates & sweets; ready meals (eaten hot or cold) containing ham/ bacon/ sausage etc.; packaged drinking chocolate etc., which are manufactured using paperboard or plastic depending upon their durability requirements respectively.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017. This is attributed to increasing awareness regarding the negative effects of single-use plastics and paper packaging material. The region will retain its dominant position throughout the forecast period owing to growing population, rising disposable income levels, and an expanding food service sector in countries such as China, India, Thailand, Vietnam among others.
Europe is expected to be one of the fastest growing regional markets over the forecast period owing to a rise in demand for eco-friendly food packaging from major application segments such as fruits & vegetables; meat & poultry; fish/seafood; bakery products among others. Increasing consumption of packaged foods has led Europe manufacturers focus on developing innovative solutions for efficient transportation and storage resulting into high demand for eco-friendly food packaging materials across this region since last few years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing awareness about the benefits of eco-friendly food packaging among consumers.
- Rising demand for sustainable and biodegradable food packaging materials from food manufacturers and retailers.
- Proliferation of small and medium-sized businesses that focus on eco-friendly food packaging products.
- Growing investment in research and development activities for developing innovative eco-friendly food packaging technologies.
- Increasing number of regulations mandating the use of environment friendly food packaging materials
