Market Dynamics

Driver: Government initiatives towards sustainable packaging

Governments all over the world are encouraging the use of sustainable packaging in order to minimize waste. In 2018,  UK strode forward to become a world leader in sustainable packaging. With an investment of USD 80 million (£60 million), the government called on innovators to develop packaging which will reduce the impact harmful plastics are having on the environment.The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive has been established in Europe, which has two main objectives: to help prevent obstacles to trade and reduce the impact of packaging waste on the environment. According to this directive, the EU States shall ensure that recovery and recycling of packaging is done effectively, and that the uses of hazardous constituents in packaging are kept to a minimal level.

The Japanese government implemented a variety of measures to reduce plastic litter. One of these is the formulation of the Plastic Resource Recycling Strategy. The basic principles of this Strategy, which was formulated in May, 2019  are promoting the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) for plastic as well as encouraging the use of recycled materials and bioplastics. Along with this, measures such as eradicating illegal dumping, curtailing the outflow of microplastics, and retrieving and disposing of ocean litter will be implemented to deal with marine plastic litter.

In the United States, some states and local jurisdictions have adopted laws and regulations affecting the production, use, and disposal of packaging. These provisions include standards for environmentally acceptable packaging, minimum requirements for recycled content, restrictions on the use of certain substances in packaging, and even outright bans on certain types of plastic packaging. Numerous other countries have also adopted such initiatives to drive sustainability in the environment.

Such initiatives have helped provide the necessary boost to the sustainable packaging industry as more and more companies are looking to adhere to these regulations by adopting sustainable and eco-friendly materials in packaging.

Restraint: Poor infrastructure facilities for recycling

Recycling of packaging waste is a process that requires state-of-the-art infrastructural facilities. It is a time-consuming process that needs personnel expertise. However, some parts of the world lack these facilities for recycling. Even in developed countries such as the U.S., the problem of sub-standard infrastructure for recycling persists. Every year in the U.S. itself, recyclable containers worth more than USD 11 billion are thrown away due to lack of recycling facilities. According to the UN Environment Programme, the world produces around 300 million tonnes of plastic waste each year. To date, only 9 per cent of the plastic waste ever generated has been recycled, and only 14 per cent is collected for recycling now.

As most recycling facilities are outdated, they are incapable of handling changes in waste streams. For instance, even though the amount of paper waste has declined and plastic waste has increased, the existing machinery is ill-equipped to handle such changes in the trends of packaging waste.

Opportunities: Growth of the e-commerce industry

The e-commerce industry is one of the fastest growing industries throughout the world as more and more people are opting to shop online due to the convenience and a large variety of options that are offered. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the e-commerce industry was valued at USD 220 billion in the U.S. in 2014, growing at a rate of 17% every year reaching USD 601.75 billion in 2019. Most e-commerce companies such as Amazon, Alibaba, and Flipkart use sustainable packaging materials for packing and shipping their products.

These companies make a conscious effort to ensure that the packaging material used for packing their products is recycled and reused. They aim at reducing and consolidating orders by delivering more products in fewer packaging and reusing packaging materials

Challenges: Fluctuations in raw material prices

The increasing prices of sustainable raw materials adversely affect operations in the packaging industry. In addition to key raw materials, the prices of other raw materials, such as water and fuel are also constantly fluctuating due to weather conditions, market fluctuations, exchange rates, currency control, and government control. Fluctuations in prices increase the operating cost, which in turn can result in an expensive end product.

Majority of the demand is expected to come from developing regions. Sustained interruption in the supply of raw materials leads to a significant increase in prices and can also delay the production cycle. This disruption in demand and supply cycle can result in immense damage caused to the packaging industry.

Eco Friendly Packaging Market Ecosystem

By Material, Paper & Paperboard accounted for the largest share in 2022

The demand for paper & paperboard packaging dominated the market in 2022 due to it being highly recyclable and bio-degradable. The global market is primarily driven by increasing environmental issues of landfills and degradation of packaging material. A shift has been seen from plastic to more usage of paper & paperboard in the packaging industry. It has a high demand from the e-commerce industry as majority of the secondary and tertiary packaging use are made of paperboard. The rising demand for sustainable and recycled packaging for food, healthcare, and personal & homecare applications will further drive the paper & paperboard packaging market.

By type, recyclable packaging accounted for the largest share in 2022

Most packaging materials currently in use such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal are recyclable. Hence recycling is a major part of the packaging industry. Recently many companies have been incorporating post-consumer recycled plastic resins in their products to enhance sustainability. According to the New Plastic Economy Global Commitment report 60% of the plastics in use today are recyclable. But the problem in recycling arises in the collection and infrastructure to recycle these products. Packaging companies have been partnering with governments, NGOs and third party businesses to improve the recycling infrastructure and recycling rates. The signatories of the Global Commitment are planning to make a 100% of their packaging products recyclable by 2025.

APAC account for the largest share of the eco friendly packaging market during the forecast period

The Asia Pacific region is projected to lead the eco-friendly packaging market, in terms of both value and volume, from 2022 to 2027. According to the World Bank, in 2021, APAC was the fastest-growing region in terms of both population and economic growth. Countries such as India and China are expected to post high growth in the eco friendly packaging market due to growing developmental activities and rapid economic expansion. The growing population in these countries presents a huge customer base for FMCG products and consumer durables.

The growing awareness among the masses about the importance of eco-friendly, renewable packaging, the growing food & beverage industry, and low manufacturing and labor costs are driving the eco friendly packaging market in APAC.
