The global Biodegradable Garbage Bag Market continues to demonstrate strong growth, with its valuation reaching USD 1.15 billion in 2024. According to the latest industry analysis, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9%, reaching approximately USD 2.25 billion by 2032. This growth is largely fueled by increasing regulatory bans on single-use plastics and a consumer shift toward sustainable products, particularly in developed economies where environmental awareness is highest.
Biodegradable garbage bags are essential components in modern waste management systems, designed to decompose naturally into harmless compounds. Their combination of functional performance and environmental benefits makes them increasingly attractive to households, businesses, and municipalities adopting circular economy principles. As certification standards become more harmonized and production scales increase, manufacturers and policymakers are actively supporting the transition from conventional plastics to compostable alternatives.
