Rising inclination of people towards use of environment friendly products is one of the major growth drivers of the bio-degradable packaging industry.
In addition to this, rising initiatives of the government for manufacturing of bio-degradable materials also projected to escalate the bio-degradable packaging market.
However, huge differences between the price of bio-degradable and traditional/conventional packaging materials is a major obstacle in front of the global bio-degradable packaging industry.
On the basis of material used in packaging, the market is segment into plastic and paper bio-degradable materials. With 95.1 % of market share, the bio-degradable plastic packaging is the most preferred packaging material however, the bio-degradable paper packaging is anticipated to occupy the largest market and witness a burgeoned growth during 2015-2021.
The global bio-degradable packaging market is divided on the basis of applications as food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, beverage packaging, etc. At present, food packaging leads the market with 70.2 % of share, although beverage packaging is expected to witness the highest growth in coming 5-6 years.
