Regional Insights
Asia Pacific held the largest share of the compostable shrink wrap market in 2023 and is expected to continue its growth trajectory. This region is benefiting from the rising demand for compostable bioplastic products, providing a significant opportunity for the growth of a circular economy. Many companies in Asia are increasingly focusing on reusable, easy-to-pack, and recycled packaging solutions, while also transitioning toward sustainable product-based packaging.
In addition, key stakeholders in the region are developing alternatives to traditional plastic disposal. For example, WRAP Asia Pacific, the regional branch of the UK-based climate action NGO WRAP, is collaborating with organizations like the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to reduce plastic waste across industries such as packaging, textiles, and food. This drive for sustainable solutions is supporting the expansion of the compostable shrink wrap market globally.
North America, particularly the U.S., is expected to see significant growth in the compostable shrink wrap market. Approximately 11% of the U.S. population has access to composting programs that accept compostable materials, and around 15% of compostable materials are used for packaging. This trend is not only helping to reduce plastic waste but also supports local packaging production, which in turn lowers greenhouse gas emissions from transportation.
Consumers in the U.S. are increasingly trusting compostable and plant-based packaging to be the most sustainable options, with surveys showing that 72% of consumers consider compostable products highly sustainable. As a result, U.S. packaging companies are adopting local production methods for compostable packaging, further driving the market’s growth.
