North America accounted for the largest share of the global market in 2023, with 35.2%, and it is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% through 2029.

The growing awareness of sustainable packaging is driving interest in alternatives to traditional packaging for food and beverages, which is primarily plastic-based, generates a significant amount of waste and poses environmental threats due to its non-biodegradable nature and the release of harmful chemicals. The rapid growth of e-commerce has exacerbated this issue by increasing packaging waste. Edible packaging, in contrast, offers a biodegradable and consumable solution, aligning with sustainability goals. As consumers become more conscious of health, wellness, and environmental impact, the demand for edible packaging is growing. This shift reflects broader trends toward ecofriendly and health-focused innovations in product packaging.
