According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Cellulose-based Plastic market size was valued at US$ 835 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1199 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.4% during review period.
In this report, we will assess the current U.S. tariff framework alongside international policy adaptations, analyzing their effects on competitive market structures, regional economic dynamics, and supply chain resilience.
Cellulose-based plastic is basically a type of plastic – also called cellulose acetate – produced either by cotton linters or wood pulp. Since this plastic is manufactured from biodegradable raw material, it"s safe for the environment and can be reused, recycled, and renewed.
The food packaging market is by far the largest application sector in the packaging industry, accounting for more than a third of the global packaging market. Dramatic changes in food habits and processed food preferences are driving the food packaging market. The packaged food market in North America and Western Europe has already reached an overall level, and rapid lifestyle changes and economic growth, coupled with population growth in Asia-Pacific countries (such as China and India), have caused the growth rate of food packaging in the region to soar. South America and the Middle East are also experiencing higher growth rates than developed countries. The main reason for the increased preference for processed foods is the shift in population dynamics from rural areas to urban centers. This has led to the emergence of dual-income urban households that prefer processed foods due to time constraints. Packaged foods have evolved from supermarkets to community stores in countries such as China, India, Brazil and Thailand. However, the market dynamics in North America and Europe are controlled by the branding activities of food processing companies. The materials used for packaging food can also be segmented into plastic, paper and board, metal and glass. They can also be categorized by packaging material type as rigid, semi-rigid and flexible. The preference for different packaging materials also varies with region due to region-specific food habits.
