Green Packaging Market is Expected to Reach USD 203.15 Billion by 2021

The global green packaging market is primarily driven by increasing health awareness among consumers. Currently, consumers are becoming more conscious about their health. Toxic materials used in packaging, especially food packaging is hazardous to consumer’s health. In addition, consumer preference towards healthy and biodegradable packaging is one of the key driving factors responsible for the growth of green packaging market due to its health benefits. Moreover, increasing environmental concern is also boosting the demand of green packaging globally. With increase in the environmental concern, consumers are shifting towards green packaging as they cause less environmental pollution such as land pollution, landfills and water pollution. In addition, the dearth of natural resources is also contributing to the growing demand for green packaging. As the natural resources are getting exhausted the packaging material manufacturers are leaning towards green packaging as they can be easily recycled.

The packaging type is further bifurcated into: recycled content packaging, reusable packaging and degradable packaging. The various categories of recycled content packaging are paper packaging, plastic packaging, metal packaging, glass packaging and others.

On the basis of applications, the green packaging market is segmented into food and beverage packaging, personal care packaging, health care packaging and others. By geography, the market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World (ROW).

 

Among the different packaging segments, food and beverage segment accounts for the highest market share, i.e., 59.7% in overall green packaging market.
