세계의 퇴비화 가능 포장기기 시장 : 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석, 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Compostable Packaging Equipment Market was valued at USD 34.3 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% to reach USD 80.9 billion by 2034, driven largely by increasing environmental concerns and tightening regulations aimed at reducing single-use plastics and packaging-related emissions. Governments worldwide enforce stricter sustainability mandates, encouraging industries to adopt eco-friendly alternatives. As a result, manufacturers are rapidly adopting compostable solutions to align with these standards. These regulatory changes are not only pushing companies to reduce their environmental footprint but are also reshaping supply chains and production practices across various sectors.

Compliance with updated environmental policies requires businesses to incorporate biodegradable materials, invest in green technologies, and re-evaluate end-of-life packaging solutions. This growing pressure from regulatory bodies creates competitive advantages for early adopters, positioning them as leaders in the shift toward sustainable packaging. In response, manufacturers are accelerating innovation, scaling up the use of plant-based inputs, and integrating sustainable design principles into machinery and product development to meet both compliance goals and consumer expectations. Accelerated urbanization and booming e-commerce sectors have intensified the demand for sustainable packaging technologies.

Among the various equipment types, the extruders segment generated USD 9.6 billion in 2024 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% during 2025-2034. These machines are essential for transforming biopolymers into usable materials like films, sheets, or molded packaging components. Their versatility and effectiveness in handling compostable raw materials make them highly favored across industries. Other machinery such as film-blowing units, cutting and sealing equipment, and printing presses witness increased demand, but extruders remain central to the conversion process.

From a distribution perspective, the indirect channel held a 55.1% share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a 9.4% CAGR through 2034. This model relies on third-party dealers, agents, or distributors to sell equipment, offering cost efficiency and better regional access. Manufacturers benefit from the local expertise and established customer networks of these intermediaries. This approach also helps navigate regulatory landscapes more efficiently, enabling quicker market penetration and scalability. These distribution partners often possess deep knowledge of regional preferences, procurement cycles, and regulatory requirements, making them critical to successful expansion strategies for global manufacturers. By leveraging these networks, companies can reduce operational complexity and focus on core activities like product innovation and customization.

China Compostable Packaging Equipment Market generated USD 8.5 billion in 2024. Regional policies favoring green technology, coupled with increased consumer awareness, are fueling further market expansion. Regional policies favoring green technology, coupled with increased consumer awareness, are fueling further market expansion. The rise of eco-conscious consumers, combined with government-backed initiatives promoting biodegradable alternatives, drives innovation across the region. This growing momentum positions APAC as a global hub for compostable packaging production and machinery development.
