Eco-friendly Food Packaging Market Dynamics
Driver: Breakthrough in new technologies
Companies are developing new packaging technologies, such as active packaging and molded packaging, as a result of extensive R&D activities and innovations. These technologies focus on developing the use of available resources to the maximum impact and reusing them after recycling.
New technologies targets minimizing the use of water for manufacturing, along with reducing carbon emission during the manufacturing process. In order to develop new techniques for sustainable packaging to reduce waste, global providers of packaging solutions, such as Amcor Limited, Bemis Company, Inc., and Tetra Laval International invest mainly in R&D every year. To reduce the food & beverage packaging waste, with the help of innovative technologies, companies have developed various types of packages, such as edible and soluble packaging. As consumers and manufacturers are inclined toward innovative products, these types of packaging are expected to drive the growth of the market for eco-friendly food packaging.
Restraint: High cost of recycling
Recycling is a process that involves infrastructural facilities, which, in turn, require high investments along with technological and personnel expertise. Recycling of packaging products can be more efficient in terms of energy and other resources, with help of a well-established and designed program, along with the right technology.
As per a leading Plastic News journal, recycling PET pellets costs around 58 to 66 cents per pound, which is much cheaper than the manufacturing of PET virgin bottle resin pellets, which cost around 83 and 85 cents per pound. Recycling costs depend upon various factors, such as the method of recycling and real estate prices, proximity to landfills, labor costs, and amount.
Opportunities: High growth potential in the green packaging market
With an increase in energy and transportation costs, along with growing interest in environmental issues, packaging suppliers and customers are exhibiting an increasing demand for eco-friendly packaging. The environmental deterioration has contributed to the development of the overall sustainable packaging sector. An increase in awareness among the consumers, of their duties in resolving environmental issues through their buying choices, has also led to the growth of this market. Rising awareness pertaining to environmental issues along with initiatives taken by each stakeholder has led to an increase in growth rate of the green packaging market.
Challenge in the Eco-friendly Food Packaging Market: Fluctuations in raw material prices
The operations in the packaging industry had a negative impact due to the rising prices of sustainable raw materials, such as plastic, metal, and paper. Additionally, due to market fluctuations, exchange rates, currency control, weather conditions, and government policies, a constant variation in prices of other raw materials, such as water and fuel, is experienced. Variation in prices leads to an increase in operating cost, which in turn results in an expensive end product. Prices of natural gas will directly affect the prices of plastics, as plastics are manufactured from hydrocarbon gas liquids (HGL) and natural gas.
By type, the degradable packaging segment is projected to account for the highest growth rate in the eco-friendly food packaging equipment market during the forecast period
The degradable packaging market is driven by greater price competitiveness with conventional packaging, increased importance of sustainability in packaging materials, and improved performance brought about by additives and new blending techniques in degradable packaging. Manufacturers are innovating various biodegradable packaging solutions such as edible and water-soluble packaging, which are also biodegradable and can be consumed or degraded with the help of microorganisms, which, therefore, can be considered as eco-friendly packaging.
By material, plastic is expected to experience the second largest market share during the forecast period
Plastic bottles & cans, bags & pouches, carrier bags, films, containers, and wraps are considered in the study, which is either reusable, recyclable, or degradable. Plastic products are used more in the Asia Pacific region for food packaging, which includes single-use plastic products as well. However, for eco-friendly plastics, the European region leads the market due to stringent government regulations and the extended ban on the single-use plastic materials. In addition, consumers in this region are more aware of the hazards of plastic on the environment, which drives the market for eco-friendly food packaging in Europe. Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest growth rates as countries, such as China, Japan, India, South Korea, and other emerging countries, are providing opportunities to global and domestic manufacturers for manufacturing eco-friendly packaging products for the food & beverage industry.
The European region is projected to have the largest market for eco-friendly food packaging market from 2020 to 2025.
The European eco-friendly packaging market is more regulated as compared to the North American region. The European Association of Plastics Recycling and Recovery Organization (EPRO) is promoting and organizing recycling and recovering plastics across Europe. Various other organizations are also working constantly to manufacture eco-friendly packaging products by using recyclable and reusable materials. Some of the organizations are EUROPEN (the European Organization for Packaging and the Environment) and INCPEN (the UK-based Industry Council for Packaging and the Environment).
