Market Growth Factors

The Vietnamese government's regulatory initiatives are a critical driver of market growth. Under Decree 08/2022/ND-CP, production and import of non-biodegradable plastic bags smaller than 50cm x 50cm will be banned from January 1, 2026. Furthermore, starting January 1, 2031, there will be a nationwide prohibition on single-use plastics, non-biodegradable packaging, and microplastic-containing products. Complementing this, the National Action Plan aims to reduce marine plastic pollution by 50% by 2025 and 75% by 2030, while ensuring coastal tourism amenities eliminate single-use plastics progressively by 2025 and completely by 2030. The Extended Producer Responsibility clause introduced by the 2020 Environmental Protection Law, effective 2025, mandates financial accountability for packaging waste. These stringent policies accelerate the transition towards biodegradable disposables across Vietnam's food service industry.

Increasing environmental consciousness among Vietnamese consumers significantly drives market demand. A 2025 survey by Vietnam Report indicated that 92.1% of consumers are concerned about the environmental footprint of packaging, an increase of 12.5 percentage points from the prior year. Moreover, 57.4% of respondents expressed willingness to pay premium prices for eco-friendly packaging within reasonable limits. Urban millennials and younger demographics show a distinct preference for environmentally sustainable takeaway options. Retailers like Vinmart, Aeon Vietnam, Big C (in partnership with An Phát Holdings), and Lotte Mart are capitalizing on these behavioral shifts by offering discounts, promoting reusable bags, and replacing plastic with biodegradable alternatives. This consumer-driven impetus coupled with industry sustainability commitments rapidly propels market growth.

The expansion of strategic foreign investments and domestic production capacity underpins the Vietnam biodegradable food service disposables market. International companies favor Vietnam for its competitive manufacturing costs, favorable trade agreements, and abundant agricultural feedstock such as rice husks, sugarcane bagasse, cassava starch, and bamboo fiber used in bio-based materials production. Government incentives for green technology further attract investment. Domestic manufacturers leverage local resources to produce cost-effective biodegradable products, reduce import dependence, and promote circular economy practices. These investments and collaborations enhance supply capabilities, improve product quality, and solidify Vietnam's position as a sustainable sourcing hub domestically and internationally.
