Rising Demand in the Food and Beverage Industry Driving Market Expansion
One of the primary engines behind the growth of the compostable packaging market is the expanding food and beverage industry. This sector involves the entire chain of producing, processing, distributing, and selling edible goods and beverages. Its growth is supported by a rising global population, shifting consumer preferences toward healthier and more convenient options, and ongoing innovations in both products and distribution channels. Compostable packaging fulfills essential needs within this industry by helping to lower plastic pollution, aligning with consumer expectations for environmentally responsible products, and complying with regulations that encourage sustainable practices. For example, a report released by Statistics Sweden in September 2022 highlighted that food and beverage sales reached $37.44 billion (SEK 334 billion), growing 2.9% due to a 2.5% increase in sales volume coupled with a modest 0.4% rise in prices. This continuing expansion in the food and beverage sector is a significant contributor to the increasing use of compostable packaging materials.

The market’s growth is also underpinned by evolving regulations aimed at curtailing plastic waste, stronger consumer demand for green alternatives, and innovations in packaging technologies. Businesses are investing heavily in research and development to create more effective and functional compostable packaging products.
