Outlook on the Water Soluble Packaging Industry in North America to 2027 - By Raw Material, Product Type, Solubility Type & Application - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "North America Water Soluble Packaging Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis by Raw Material; Product Type; Solubility Type; Application" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The North America market was valued at US$ 934.9 million in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ 1,451.9 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2019 to 2027.

Water soluble packaging refers to the type of packaging made from biodegradable materials that dissolve in water leaving behind a harmless and non-toxic aqueous solution. It is best suited for water owing to its better solubility in water with minimum residue and good impact resistance. However, Water soluble packaging is manufactured in different grades, including cold water and hot water soluble PVA grades. Water soluble packaging products such as films, bags and pouches are manufactured using polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), which is a synthetic polymer highly soluble in water. Water soluble packaging is mainly used in the packaging of dyes, detergents, agrochemicals, and other industrial chemicals.

Additionally, they are used in the manufacture of disposal bags, laundry bags, and shopping bags. Water-soluble packaging is considered to be an environment friendly alternative over single-use plastic. The growth in various industries and factories has increased the demand for a sustainable packaging solution over the past few years. As the packaging industry has the biggest impact on the environment, the demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions drives the growth of water soluble packaging market.

Based on raw material, the North American water soluble packaging market is segmented into polymers, fibers and surfactants. In 2018, the polymers segment held the largest share of the North America water soluble packaging market; however, the fibers segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Water soluble polymers are environmentally biodegradable and thus help in effective waste management and environmental protection. Polymers are extensively used in the production of water soluble packaging products such as bags, pouches, pods, and films.

For instance, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA or PVOH) is used in manufacturing water soluble bags and films, as it dissolves fast when it comes into contact with water. Furthermore, its biodegradable and non-toxic properties propel its usage in the water soluble packaging production. Fiber-based packaging utilizes reusable, renewable, and biodegradable materials in the process of production. Fibers such as seaweed and collagen are used as a raw material in the production of water soluble packaging. Surfactants are one of the key raw materials in the production of water soluble packaging products such as films, bags, and pouches.
