The ever-changing dynamics behind this growing industry makes it important for corporate decision-makers to harness this unique opportunity. This industry offers an excellent opportunity to expand into several different verticals such as; packaging, pharmaceuticals, confectionaries, and others. It provides numerous opportunities for increased revenues and competitive advantage.

Asian countries are the second largest consumers of biodegradable packaging in the world after the United States. China, India, Japan, and South Korea are currently the leading exporters of biodegradable packaging to the Asia-Pacific. Europe is expected to remain the leader in the global biodegradable packaging industry. Packaging applications are being utilized in a wide range of industries worldwide. Some of the examples are supermarkets, manufacturers of foodstuff and confectioneries, cosmetic manufacturers, pharmaceuticals, and others. With millions of tons consumed every year, European markets represent a significant and growing market.

Packaging firms that currently dominate the market share in Asia-pacific countries such as China, Taiwan, and Malaysia should be viewed as market leaders rather than large market share holders for the foreseeable future.
