Compostable Plastic Packaging Material Market to Reach USD 203.32 Billion by 2035, Growing at a 12.01% CAGR

Compostable Plastic Packaging Material Market was estimated at 58.38 USD Billion in 2024. The compostable plastic packaging industry is projected to grow from 65.39 USD Billion in 2025 to 203.32 USD Billion by 2035, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.01 during the forecast period 2025 - 2035.The global Compostable Plastic Packaging Material Market is witnessing significant growth, driven by rising environmental concerns, government regulations, and increased consumer demand for sustainable packaging solutions. As industries worldwide aim to reduce plastic pollution and adopt eco-friendly alternatives, compostable plastics are becoming a key focus area for manufacturers, retailers, and policymakers alike.
Market Overview
Compostable plastic packaging materials are designed to break down naturally under composting conditions, leaving minimal to no environmental impact. Unlike traditional plastics, these materials are made from renewable resources such as cornstarch, sugarcane, PLA (polylactic acid), and other bio-based polymers. They are increasingly used across industries including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and e-commerce packaging.
The global market is projected to witness robust growth over the next decade. Rising awareness about plastic pollution and the harmful effects of non-biodegradable plastics is compelling both consumers and companies to opt for environmentally responsible packaging options. Moreover, several governments across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific have introduced stringent regulations and incentives to promote the use of compostable materials, further fueling market expansion.
