The water soluble packaging market was valued at US$ 2,751.00 million in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ 4,295.6 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2019 to 2027.
Water soluble packaging is a form of packaging made from biodegradable materials that dissolve in water leaving behind a harmless and non-toxic aqueous solution. Better solubility in water with minimum residue and good impact resistance makes them a favorable packaging material in a number of industries.
In 2018, North America dominated the water soluble packaging market and holds the largest share in the global water soluble packaging market. The growing end-use industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemical, food and beverage among others in countries such as the US and Canada is driving the demand for water soluble packaging market. According to the American Chemistry Council data, in the US, 70% of the plastics end up in landfills, which is due to the popular “throw-away” culture present in the region. However, the rise in awareness among the consumers regarding the need for reduction of single-use plastics usage, coupled with government interventions to ban their use, is driving the market for water soluble packaging in the North America.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Water Soluble Packaging Market
The COVID-19 outbreak adversely affects economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. Chemical and Materials industry are among the significant industries suffering from severe disruptions such as restrictions on the supply chain and shutdown of production plants. The shutdown of different plants and factories in various countries disrupts the global supply chains and negatively impacts the manufacturing water soluble packaging. The water soluble films market in the initial stages was negatively affected due to disruptions in the global supply chain. The water soluble market is highly dependent on the detergent, water treatment chemicals, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage industries. Thus, the shutdown of these industries had a negative effect on the water soluble packaging market.
