The global sustainable packaging market is surging in value, driven by promising forecasts. With a projected CAGR of 7.6% between 2020-2025, the market is expected to reach $303.6B by 2025. This growth is strengthened by the increasing adoption of "Green Packaging" practices, which are on the rise and expected to continue their upward trajectory with a projected CAGR of around 7.5% from 2022 to 2030. Consumers highly value sustainable packaging options, with many willing to pay more for them and preferring compostable and plant-based choices.


Generational shifts are evident, particularly among Generation Z and Millennials, who are driving increased environmental engagement and activism. These trends are reshaping the packaging industry, with a growing emphasis on eco-conscious choices and practices.
