Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

The compostable and biodegradable refuse bags are made of organic materials from plants.  Blends of starches (corn, potato, and others), polylactic acid (PLA), PHA, PBAT, and other plant-based materials are used to create compostable and biodegradable garbage bags. The decomposition of these trash bags will minimally harm the ecosystem.

Compostable Biodegradable Refuse Bag Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Growth In Across Various End Use Industries

The growing usages of plant based material coupled with the increasing demand of product from various end-use such as industrial, retail and consumer, and institutional is estimated to largely accelerate the overall market growth over the forecast period.

• Increasing Demand for the Plastic Alternatives

These bags have become a great replacement for dangerous plastic items. Typically, they are made of organic materials, which are completely harmless and decay more quickly. In many end-use industries, they are now accepted options for garbage collection. Manufacturers are being forced to provide eco-friendly alternatives due to the increased focus on sustainability and growing concern over the harmful implications of using plastic bags, which is boosting market growth.

Furthermore, the growing number of industries across the globe will further propelled the growth rate of compostable biodegradable refuse bag market. The factors such as the rapid transition towards organic products will drive market value growth. The ability of compostable and biodegradable refuse bags to decompose completely is also estimated to boost the market demand.

Opportunities

• Surging Government Initiatives

The rising number of initiatives taken by government to promote plastic product alternatives and minimize environmental pollution further extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. Governments worldwide are launching new programs to reduce environmental pollution and the excessive use of plastic bags. For instance, India's national government outlawed single-use plastics. The use of compostable and biodegradable garbage bags is increasing as a result.

• Advancements in Technology

 Additionally, the ongoing technological development would foster market expansion. The introduction of new cutting-edge techniques is aiding compostable and biodegradable bag decomposition. For instance, in April 2021, scientists at University of California, Berkeley created a new approach to deconstruct compostable items more simply with heat and water. This factor will therefore, further expand the future growth of the compostable biodegradable refuse bag market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Availability of Alternatives

Although they are a better waste management option than plastic, compostable and biodegradable garbage bags are not flawless. Recycled plastic bags are another superior alternative for rubbish headed for the landfill. These factors further hamper the overall market growth.

• High Cost

The high cost of compostable and biodegradable refuse bags compared to traditional plastic bags and the growing affordability of compostable and biodegradable refuse bags with non-degradable additives can both hinder the global market's revenue growth to some level. Therefore, this factor will challenge the compostable biodegradable refuse bag market growth rate.
