Biodegradable Plastic Packaging Market to Surpass USD 7.70 Billion by 2030 | Mordor Intelligence
Biodegradable Plastic Packaging Market
According to Mordor Intelligence, the Global Biodegradable Plastic Packaging Market is projected to grow from USD 3.01 billion in 2025 to USD 7.70 billion by 2030, expanding at a remarkable CAGR of 20.67%. The market's momentum reflects rapid advances in bio‐resin processing, the impact of single‐use plastic bans, and the growing corporate shift toward carbon‐neutral packaging. As brand owners adopt global compostable specifications, high‐volume production contracts are reducing per‐unit costs while improving the economic viability of compost‐ready materials.
Innovations such as marine‐degradable PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) and heat‐resistant PBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate) are bridging historical performance gaps with petro‐polymers. Municipal and national mandates on waste diversion are simultaneously pushing foodservice and retail operators to deploy certified compost‐ready solutions, strengthening predictable offtake for resin suppliers and converters.

Market Segmentation
Material Type: PLA Leadership Faces Marine‐Safe PHA Surge
Polylactic Acid (PLA) remains the market leader with a 66.45% share owing to cost efficiency and compatibility with industrial composting infrastructure across Europe and North America. New grades capable of withstanding temperatures up to 105 °C broaden its application in baked goods and hot‐fill packaging.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are rapidly disrupting the material mix, expected to post a 25.34% CAGR through 2030. PHA's marine biodegradability addresses coastal waste management laws, making it ideal for single‐use cutlery, straws, and high‐barrier pouches. New production facilities in the U.S. and Thailand are utilizing agricultural residues, reducing feedstock volatility and enhancing supply sustainability.
Packaging Type: Flexible Dominates as Rigid Formats Innovate
Flexible formats commanded 58.77% of market revenues in 2024, driven by lightweight pouches, films, and mailers favored by e‐commerce and meal‐kit applications. Clear PLA windows and PBAT‐reinforced laminates optimize oxygen barrier performance and puncture resistance.
Rigid formats, growing at 23.1% CAGR, benefit from PLA and PHA technological breakthroughs enabling use in coffee pods, biodegradable cups, and microwaveable trays. Collaborations between NatureWorks and IMA have yielded turnkey biopod systems certified for industrial composting, expanding retail and foodservice channels.
End‐Use Industry: Foodservice Outpaces Retail Adoption
The food segment currently drives the greatest volume demand, while foodservice is forecast to lead growth with a 24.68% CAGR. Restaurant chains, stadiums, and event venues are switching to PLA and PHA‐based disposables to cut waste‐management costs and comply with local ordinances. Integrated green‐bin initiatives and consumer preference for eco‐friendly brands accelerate this transition.
Compostability Type: Industrial Grades Lead, Home Composting Scales
Industrial‐compostable variants commanded 55.78% market share in 2024, supported by Europe's high‐capacity composting plants with 6-12 week degradation timelines. However, home‐compostable grades are advancing faster at 22.56% CAGR as municipalities expand curbside collection and suburban compost initiatives. PHA and PLA blends compliant with ASTM D6400 and EN 13432 standards are boosting home‐compost adoption globally.

Regional Insights
Europe Takes Lead with Comprehensive Composting Infrastructure
Europe captured a 35.57% market share in 2024 due to stringent EU regulations and harmonized standards (EPR fees, EN certifications). Regional packaging producers, backed by government subsidies for organic waste collection, enjoy predictable demand from retailers and food delivery operators adopting compost‐ready solutions.
Asia Pacific Emerges as Fastest‐Growing Hub
With a projected 24.65% CAGR, Asia Pacific is poised for transformational growth. China's ban on "non‐degradable" plastics in top‐tier cities by 2027 and India's state‐level prohibitions are creating new investments in bio‐polymer plants utilizing cassava and rice‐husk feedstocks. Australia and New Zealand also accelerated adoption through nationwide single‐use plastic bans, driving import demand for PLA and PHA resins.
North America and Other Regions Expand Green Policy Coverage
North America is strengthening market adoption through municipal food‐waste mandates and corporate carbon‐pricing policies. In Latin America, pilot composting hubs in São Paulo and Mexico City show early traction, while GCC countries leverage tourism policies and plastic‐neutrality goals in hospitality markets.
Market Dynamics
Market Drivers:
The market benefits from the global shift toward single‐use plastic bans, corporate carbon‐neutrality targets, and the scaling of biopolymer production across major geographies. Technical advances in bio‐resin compatibility and film processing are narrowing performance gaps with fossil alternatives while lowering conversion costs.
Market Restraints:
High feedstock price volatility for corn and sugar‐based PLA, alongside limited industrial composting capacity in emerging regions, may restrict short‐term growth potential. Consumer confusion over biodegradable versus compostable labels also slows adoption.
Market Opportunities:
Expansion of home‐composting infrastructure, digital tracking of carbon footprints, and integration of bio‐compatible films in e‐commerce channels present high‐growth avenues. Strategic partnerships among resin suppliers and end‐user brands strengthen supply chains and capacity security.
