Growing environmental concerns associated with plastic usage are a major driver of the growth of the plastic alternative packaging market. Plastic products consist of deadly pollutants and cause harmful effects on humans, animals, and the environment. Customers are interested in eco-friendly packaging options as a replacement for plastic packaging. For instance, in March 2022, according to a report published by Statistics Canada, a Canada-based government agency, about $21.1 billion was spent by Canadian businesses in 2019 to lessen environmental impacts.

The rising inclination towards alternatives to plastics has attracted businesses worldwide, which contributes to the growth of the plastic alternative packaging market.

The high cost of plastic alternative packaging products is projected to limit the growth of the plastic alternative packaging market over the forecast period.

Additionally, biodegradable materials are 2 to 10 times more costly to produce than relative non-biodegradable materials. Thus, high cost is likely to restrict the growth of the plastic alternative packaging market.
