Compostable Multilayer Films Market Growth & Trends:
The global compostable multilayer films market size is anticipated to reach USD 2.45 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The compostable multilayer films industry represents a fast-evolving segment within the global sustainable packaging industry, driven by heightened environmental awareness and regulatory shifts aimed at reducing plastic pollution. These films, composed of multiple biodegradable layers such as PLA, PBAT, PHA, and starch blends, are engineered to meet both functional and environmental criteria-providing barrier properties, shelf-life stability, and compostability. Their versatility has made them increasingly relevant across diverse end-use sectors including food packaging, personal care, retail, and foodservice. As nations implement stricter bans on conventional multilayer plastics and advance circular economy frameworks, compostable multilayer films are becoming a critical innovation node in achieving net-zero packaging goals.
One of the primary drivers for this market's growth is the surging global demand for compostable packaging solutions across fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). Unlike conventional plastic laminates that are difficult to recycle due to their complex structure, compostable multilayer films can break down under industrial or home composting conditions, aligning with global waste management strategies. Advancements in biopolymer engineering have enhanced these films with properties such as oxygen and moisture barriers, heat resistance, and sealability-enabling performance that rivals traditional plastic films. Furthermore, increasing investments in biopolymer production capacity, particularly in Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific, are supporting cost optimization and scalability, thereby positioning compostable multilayer films as a viable solution for brands seeking both sustainability and performance in flexible packaging.
The market players are focusing on various strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations. For instance, in October 2024, Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd. announced the global availability of its biodegradable BIOFRONT polylactic acid (PLA) resin. This resin biodegrades faster in oceans, rivers, and soil compared to conventional PLA products due to a novel biodegradation accelerator.
Compostable Multilayer Films Market Report Highlights:
- Based on material type, the polylactic acid (PLA) led the market with the largest revenue share of 43.86% in 2024.
- Based on application, the food packaging segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 60.32% in 2024.
- North America dominated the market with the largest market revenue share of 37.24% in 2024, driven by the growing presence of eco-conscious consumers pushing brands to shift toward compostable packaging as part of their environmental value proposition. This shift is further supported by increasing availability of third-party certifications like BPI and CMA, which help validate composability claims and build consumer trust in sustainable packaging solutions.
