Global Market Dynamics and Growth Drivers
The counter bags market is experiencing transformation driven by three major factors:

The demand for paper-based and compostable alternatives is increasing rapidly in the USA and Europe, while emerging economies in Asia-Pacific-such as India, China, and Indonesia-are witnessing exponential growth due to rising urbanization and new environmental mandates.
Cross-industry collaborations between packaging converters and tech firms are paving the way for smart packaging innovations, including counter bags embedded with QR codes, NFC tags, and freshness indicators.
