According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Biodegradable and Compostable Packaging Market is accounted for $83.7 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $137.1 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period. Biodegradable and compostable packaging offers packaging made from biodegradable polymers, bioplastics, and compostable materials designed to reduce landfill waste and environmental impact. Growth accelerates with regulatory bans on certain single-use plastics, corporate sustainability targets, and consumer preference for greener packaging. Advances in feedstocks, manufacturing scale-up, and certification standards improve performance and supply reliability. Brands in foodservice and retail adopt compostable alternatives where collection infrastructure exists.
Rising environmental concerns and plastic pollution
The primary driver for this market is the escalating global crisis of plastic pollution, which has spurred stringent governmental regulations and a profound shift in consumer consciousness. Bans on single-use plastics across numerous countries are compelling manufacturers to seek compliant alternatives. Furthermore, heightened consumer awareness is driving brand owners to adopt sustainable packaging as a core component of their corporate social responsibility and brand identity.
