Food and Beverage to be Leading Consumer of Edible Packaging
The two core end users of edible packaging are the industries of pharmaceuticals and food and beverages. The use of edible packaging in these is employed mainly due to the fact that they are industries of edible items and that the packaging needs to be in support to those packed within so as to not cause any adulteration or spoilage. Among these two, the food and beverages emerged as the leading segment in 2016 with a share of 77% in the same year. The segment is expected to continue leading the market until the end of the forecast period. The demand for edible packaging in the food and beverages industry is expected to rise exponentially in the years ahead.
Region-wise, the global market for edible packaging has been segmented into the Middle East and Africa, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and North America. Among these, North America surfaced as the leading region in the global edible packaging market. The most prominent market in the market was the U.S. owing to the growing consumption of it in the food and beverages industry. Asia Pacific, on the other hand is expected to emerge as a potential region for the growth of the market and for players to seek opportunities from. This growth can be attributed to the rising awareness regarding benefits among consumers, growing disposable income, and influential living standards.

Altering Living Standards and Urbanization to Influence Demand
The growing consumption of treated products, snowballing household revenue, and the increasing predilection for hygienic and sturdy products among customers have risen as the key driving forces behind the progress of the global edible packaging market. The increase in urbanization in developing countries is another significant factor that is pushing this market towards growth sturdily.
Additionally, the intensifying awareness among customers about the qualities of edible packaging, such as the relaxed handling of products in spite of upholding their shelf life and quality is likely to drive this market substantially in the years ahead. Nevertheless, the high cost accompanying the packaging machineries and the quality layers exploited in edible packaging is expected to inhibit the smooth seafaring of this market over the coming years. Other than this, the mounting practice of modified atmosphere packaging is further expected to limit the progress of the global edible packaging market to some extent.
