Global Twist Tie Market to Reach USD 19.1 Billion by 2035, Driven by Demand for Eco-Friendly and Smart Packaging Solutions

The global twist tie market is poised for steady expansion, projected to grow from USD 11.2 billion in 2025 to USD 19.1 billion by 2035, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%, according to data from Future Market Insights. The growth reflects rising demand for sustainable packaging, custom branding, and technological innovation across the food, retail, and logistics sectors.

Twist ties—simple yet indispensable fasteners—are evolving beyond traditional bag closures. From eco-friendly garden supports and decorative gift wraps to smart packaging integrations using RFID tracking, manufacturers are redefining the twist tie as both a functional tool and a branding asset.

Key Growth Drivers

1. Surge in Home Gardening and DIY Demand

The rise of urban farming and indoor gardening has fueled the use of twist ties for plant support and home organization. Consumers favor reusable and biodegradable options that support sustainability without compromising flexibility or strength.

2. Eco-Friendly Packaging Transformation

As global brands shift toward plastic-free solutions, paper-based and biodegradable twist ties are gaining traction—especially in organic food packaging, premium retail, and artisanal gift wrapping. These eco-conscious variants align with sustainability goals while offering superior branding potential.

3. Food Delivery and E-commerce Expansion

The boom in food delivery services and small-scale online retail has driven significant demand for food-grade, temperature-resistant twist ties. They provide secure, tamper-evident closures for perishable goods, enhancing freshness and safety.

4. Decorative and Custom Branding Applications

From craft breweries to specialty bakeries, decorative twist ties are transforming packaging into a storytelling medium. Brands increasingly use custom-printed ties to display logos, QR codes, or promotional messages, turning functional packaging into a marketing tool.
