Global Edible Packaging Market is valued approximately USD XXX billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than XX % over the forecast period 2022-2029. Edible packaging refers to the use of food materials to package and store food products. Instead of traditional packaging materials like plastic, paper, or metal, edible packaging is made from materials that can be consumed along with the food they contain. Edible packaging can be made from a variety of materials such as starches, proteins, and fats. For example, edible packaging can be made from rice flour, corn starch, seaweed, or even fruit. These materials are typically biodegradable and can reduce waste since they can be eaten or composted after use. The key factor driving the market growth is growing preference for environment friendly solutions, ban on single-use plastics, and rising demand for the processed food products that anticipated to support the market growth during forecast period.
However, over the past few years, there has been a rise in demand for processed food products. To improve the taste and flavour of the foods, these food items have extra sugar, fats, oils, and salt. Additionally, processed goods need packaging with an extended shelf life, which edible coatings can provide. The use of edible films and coatings is anticipated to drive the edible packaging market to grow due to the widespread consumption of processed foods. According to Statista, in 2017, the processed food market in South Korea was valued USD 61 billion and the market is increased significantly and reached USD 78 billion in 2021. As a result, the rising processed food market is anticipated to support the market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, advancements in technologies for new packaging methods are anticipated to create the lucrative opportunity for the market during forecast period. However, the low tensile strength as compared to traditional plastic, and requirement of secondary packaging stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
The key regions considered for the Global Edible Packaging Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America is the dominating region across the world in terms of market share, owing to the presence of key market players, and significant presence of processed food and pharmaceutical industries. Whereas, Asia Pacific is also anticipated to exhibit highest growth rate over the forecast period, owing to factors such as growing plastics bans, growing consumer awareness of the harmful impacts of excessive plastic use for food packaging, and growing pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries would create lucrative growth prospects for the Edible Packaging market across Asia Pacific region.
