The global biopolymer packaging market size is projected to register a high CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising R&D activities to enhance the recycling characteristics of plastics.
Biopolymers are biodegradable polymers made of starch, sugar, and cellulose, among others. These polymers can easily replace current produced paper and paperboard coatings. Biopolymer-based materials has increased the interest from the packaging industry due to rising concerns regarding negative impacts of conventional petroleum-based polymers. Biopolymers are obtained from maintainable resources such as corn, sugarcane, or soybean oil and don't send any harmful gases into environment.

Based on material types, the market is divided into non-biodegradable and biodegradability. The non-biodegradable segment is further classified as PET, PA, PTT, and others. The biodegradability segment is further segmented into PLA, starch blends, PBAT, and others. The starch blends sub-segment is growing at a rapid rate as it’s the most common biomass source used for the production of biopolymers. Starch based biopolymers such as films and plastics are extensively used in the packaging industry.
Base on end-users, the biopolymer packaging market is categorized as food and beverages, retail, healthcare, personal care/homecare, and others. The food and beverages segment is expected to grow at a sustainable rate in the manner. The industry’s increasing focus on sustainability has encouraged several food and beverages manufacturers to adopt biopolymer-based packaging solutions in lieu to curb greenhouse gas emissions. However, the retail segment is estimated to hold a robust rate due to rapid growth in the e-commerce activities.
In terms of regions, the global market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market in North America is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to rapid developing concerns in regards to food wastage due to the expiry of the items, has enabled the organizations in the area to select innovative solutions. On the other hand, Asia Pacific is expected to hold a significant market share in the coming years.
