수용성 포장 시장 예측(-2030년) : 유형별, 분해별, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Water Dissolvable Packaging Market is accounted for $4.02 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $7.45 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period. The Water Dissolvable Packaging Market refers to the industry segment focused on the production and distribution of packaging materials that readily dissolve in water. This innovative packaging solution offers environmental benefits by reducing plastic waste and pollution. Typically made from biodegradable materials such as PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) or starch, water-soluble packaging is designed to dissolve completely in water, leaving behind no residue or harmful by-products.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing awareness about environmental sustainability

Increasing awareness about environmental sustainability has propelled the demand for eco-friendly alternatives across various industries, including packaging. This growing consciousness has led to the rise of the Water Dissolvable Packaging market. Consumers are becoming increasingly mindful of the environmental impact of traditional packaging materials, such as plastics, which contribute significantly to pollution and waste accumulation. Water Dissolvable Packaging offers a sustainable solution by dissolving harmlessly in water, reducing plastic pollution and landfill waste.

Restraint:

Limited material options

Limited material options are hindering the growth of the water-soluble packaging market due to constraints in both performance and sustainability. Currently, the majority of water- dissolvable packaging is made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), which, while effective in dissolving in water, presents challenges in terms of cost, strength, and environmental impact. The reliance on PVA restricts innovation in packaging design and material composition, limiting the market's ability to cater to diverse product requirements and consumer preferences.

Opportunity:

Innovation in packaging materials

Innovation in packaging materials is revolutionizing the Water Dissolvable Packaging market by introducing environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional packaging. With growing concerns over plastic pollution and sustainability, manufacturers are turning to innovative materials that dissolve in water, offering a biodegradable solution to packaging waste. These advancements leverage biopolymers, such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), which break down harmlessly in water without leaving behind harmful residues. Additionally, developments in water-dissolvable films and coatings provide enhanced barrier properties, ensuring the integrity and safety of packaged goods while minimizing environmental impact.

Threat:

Disposal infrastructure

Although water- dissolvable packaging offers a promising solution to environmental concerns, its efficacy is heavily reliant on proper disposal methods. Existing waste management systems often lack the capability to effectively process water-soluble materials. This limitation stems from the specialized facilities required to efficiently dissolve and treat such packaging. However, in many regions, wastewater treatment plants are not equipped to handle the influx of water-soluble packaging, leading to potential clogs and inefficiencies in the disposal process.

Covid-19 Impact:

Initially, the market faced disruptions in the supply chain due to lockdowns, travel restrictions, and reduced production activities. This led to delays in manufacturing and distribution, impacting the availability of water- dissolvable packaging materials. As the pandemic progressed, there was an increased awareness of hygiene and sustainability, driving demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions. However, water-dissolvable packaging, being biodegradable and environmentally friendly, gained traction as a preferred choice for various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals and personal care.

The Films & Wrappers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Films & Wrappers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. These films and wrappers are designed to dissolve in water, providing a convenient and eco-friendly solution for packaging various products. By utilizing water- dissolvable materials, such as PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) and starch-based polymers, these films and wrappers offer a viable alternative to traditional plastic packaging, significantly reducing environmental pollution and waste. Moreover, the Films & Wrappers segment is driving advancements in packaging technology, enabling the development of water- dissolvable packaging solutions that maintain product integrity while being easily biodegradable.

The Warm Water segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Warm Water segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This innovative approach utilizes packaging materials that dissolve in warm water, offering a convenient and eco-friendly solution for various industries. This segment caters to the growing demand for environmentally sustainable packaging options, particularly in sectors like food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. By dissolving in warm water, these packaging materials eliminate the need for excessive waste disposal and reduce the burden on landfills, ultimately contributing to a more circular economy.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest share of the market over the projected period. As governments and industries prioritize water conservation efforts to address pressing environmental concerns, consumers are becoming more conscious of their ecological footprint, driving the demand for eco-friendly alternatives. Water-dissolvable packaging offers a promising solution by significantly reducing water consumption during production and disposal stages compared to traditional packaging materials.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific region is poised to hold profitable growth during the domination period. As individuals in this region have more purchasing power, they are increasingly inclined towards convenience-oriented products, including single-use packaging. Water dissolvable packaging offers a sustainable solution by eliminating plastic waste, aligning with the growing environmental consciousness among consumers. Moreover, heightened awareness of the adverse effects of traditional packaging materials on the environment has led consumers to seek eco-friendly alternatives.
