Market Insights

Rising demand for eco-friendly packaged products will boost the market

The global water-soluble packaging market is growing competently, expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during the estimated period from 2019 to 2027, starting from US$ 2.3 Bn in 2018.

The plastic used for packaging products is considered a loss for the economy only after a single use. According to the World Economic Forum 2016, 95% of the plastic used in packaging material, valued at about $80-$120 billion annually, is considered waste for an economy only after one-time use. The report also suggests that nearly 8 tons of plastic are discharged into the oceans. The aforesaid reasons will drive the water-soluble packaging market during the forecasted period. Moreover, efforts taken by various companies to reduce plastic waste used in packaging also contribute to the growth of the market. For instance, Unilever has implemented The Unilever Sustainable Living Plan (USLP). USLP aims to reduce environmental impact by half. In addition, Procter & Gamble declared sustainability through a 30% reduction in plastic packaging in fabric care products.

The rising inclination of consumers towards recycled products is boosting the market. For instance, according to a research study and news from 2018, 49% of UK consumers preferred products made from recycled plastic, and 72% preferred products packaged with recycled plastic.
