The Global Water Soluble Packaging Market is expected to reach $4.63 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2020 to 2027. Water soluble packaging is an innovative package type that is used in place of the traditional plastic ones. Water soluble packaging made from biodegradable materials that dissolve in water leaving behind a harmless and nontoxic aqueous solution. Better solubility in water with minimum residue and good impact resistance makes them a favorable packaging material in a number of industries. Water soluble packaging products such as films, bags and pouches are produced from polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), which is a synthetic polymer highly soluble in water. It is manufactured in different grades, including cold water soluble PVA and hot water soluble PVA.
Factors such as rising application of water soluble packaging in multiple industries, growing environmental and sustainability concerns, usage of water soluble packaging in multiple applications, and ban on single-use plastics are driving the growth of the market. However, secondary packaging requirements and higher acceptability of bio-plastics are restraining the growth of the market.
Based on end user, the industrial segment is going to have a lucrative growth during the forecast period which can be attributed to the associated benefits, especially in the industries where the workers need to deal with harmful chemicals. To avoid direct contact, packaging would provide a safer option for the workers to handle such chemicals. Most of the industries are avoiding usage of plastics as it generates a lot of waste, require a large space to keep such plastics and large amount of disposal cost are incurred. Instead use of water soluble material for packaging leads to the reduction of cost of labour in cleaning and makes the manufacturing process more sustainable.
