Biodegradable Packaging Market 2017-2019: Packaging Type & Applications Analysis
M2 - Thu May 01, 8:44AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4l6jf4/biodegradable) has announced the addition of the "Biodegradable Packaging Market 2017-2019: Packaging Type & Applications Analysis" report to their offering. Largely, the biodegradable packaging market is fragmented in nature with leading participants such as International Paper, Mondi Group, BASF SE, Smurfit Kappa Group, Stora Enso, Novamont, and RockTenn. The biodegradable packaging material choice drives the packaging product's properties, appearance, and consumer attributes. The primary and secondary packaging of products is directly associated to their production and constitutes an integral part of the value-added process, while tertiary packaging is related to the logistics. The primary biodegradable packaging comes directly in contact with the actual product and hence, should show good retaining properties as per the product's requirement. Secondary biodegradable packaging includes boxes, films, bags, or containers in which the product along with its primary packaging are packed. Unlike primary packaging, secondary packaging is primarily used to improve the attractiveness and convenience of carrying the product. The global biodegradable packaging market by product type and application has witnessed a significant growth in the past few years, and this growth is estimated to persist in the coming years. The biodegradable paper packaging products constitute majority of the market globally. While the food packaging application segment contributes largely to the biodegradable plastic packaging market, beverage packaging will drive the future growth in the biodegradable plastic packaging industry. Europe and North America dominated the biodegradable packaging market in 2013 and accounted for over 65% of the market. These developed regions dominate the packaging market due their mature markets which consist of environment conscious and high-spending population. Biodegradable plastic packaging market is expected to show the double-digit growth rate by 2019. This market is spurred by the large populations of North America, Europe, China, and India that are experiencing increased contract manufacturing activities, proactive switching from conventional non degradable packaging to biodegradable packaging materials, and increased government interest in promoting the use of these products by providing certain incentives for the use of the same in certain regions.
