The global plastic alternative packaging market is segmented - 1) By Type: Starch Based Plastic, Cellulose Based Plastics, Polylactic Acid (PLA), Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), Other Types 2) By Process: Recyclable, Reusable, Biodegradable 3) By Application: Food and Beverage, Personal Care, Health Care, Other Applications The global plastic alternative packaging market size grew from $4.48 billion in 2022 to $5.2 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of the plastic alternative packaging market is expected to grow to $9.67 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 16.8%. Growing environmental concerns associated with plastic usage are a major driver of the growth of the plastic alternative packaging market. Plastic products consist of deadly pollutants and cause harmful effects on humans, animals, and the environment. Customers are interested in eco-friendly packaging options as a replacement for plastic packaging. For instance, in March 2022, according to a report published by Statistics Canada, a Canada-based government agency, about $21.1 billion was spent by Canadian businesses in 2019 to lessen environmental impacts. Furthermore, according to Our World in Data, the world generates over 350 million metric tons of plastic waste each year. The rising inclination towards alternatives to plastics has attracted businesses worldwide, which contributes to the growth of the plastic alternative packaging market. Major players in the plastic alternative packaging market are Amcor Limited, Tetra Pak, Sealed Air Corporation, Plastic Suppliers Inc., Kruger Inc., Mondi, International Paper Company, Smurfit Kappa Group PLC, DS Smith PLC, and Klabin SA.
