Market Dynamics

Growing demand for Eco-Friendly Disposal Products

There is a rise in the use of trash bags as people become more conscious of personal hygiene and environmental cleanliness. Due to the increased garbage generated by rapid urbanization, there may be a rise in the use of trash bags during the projection period. Consumer demand for clean, eco-friendly substitutes for conventional synthetic products is anticipated to drive the market for trash bags. Global demand for trash bags is partly driven by the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries' ongoing expansion. 

Technological Advancement to Promote Market Demand

Technological advancements has allowed manufacturers of trash bags to create trash bags of improved qualities and sustainable characteristics. Improved manufacturing processes including multi-layer co-extrusion and blown film extrusion enable the creation of trash bags with exceptional tensile strength, rip resistance, and stability. With the use of technologies like RFID tags and QR codes, smart packaging solutions allow for real-time supply chain visibility, inventory tracking, and product verification. These technological advancements are changing the trash bag market, giving customers environmentally friendly options, and propelling the expansion of the market.

Market Segmentation

Our in-depth analysis of the global trash bags market includes the following segments by material, size, type, distribution channel, and end-user:

  • Based on material, the market is sub-segmented into high density polythene, low density polythene, linear low-density polythene, bio-degradable polythene and other materials.
  • Based on size, the market is bifurcated into 3 to <13 gallons, greater than 13 to less than 50 gallons and above 50 gallons.
  • Based on type, the market is sub-segmented into drawstring bags, star sealed bags and others.
  • Based on distribution channel, the market is bifurcated into supermarket/hypermarket, convenience stores, specialty stores, e-commerce and others.
  • Based on end-user, the market is sub-segmented retail, institutional and industrial.

Star Sealed Bags Sub-segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share

A star sealed bag holds a considerable share in the global market. These are the most popular sturdy trash bags with excellent leak and puncture resistance. These bags come in a variety of colors, sizes, and thicknesses to dispose of different types of waste, such wet and dry waste. Star sealed bottom bags are thought to be environmentally friendly since using them can cut plastic waste by up to 25.0%.

High Density Polythene Material is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment

The market is divided into four segments based on the material namely biodegradable polythene, low density polythene, linear low-density polythene, high density polythene, and other. The high density polythene material trash bag hold major share in the global market.  The strength, flexiblilty, and rip-resistance characteristics of high-density polythene make it highly suitable material for trash bags. An industry standard for heavy-duty waste bags is high density polythene. It is composed of molecular chains that are linear and have little branching. Due to its straight molecular architecture, high density polythene is a robust material that can be used to make durable garbage bags. They are more brittle and vital for preventing punctures. High-density trans bags are less expensive since they use less material because they are thinner.

Regional Outlook

The global trash bags market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). 

Asia-Pacific region has the fastest growing demand for garbage bags 

  • Rise in urbanization in Asia-Pacific countries such as China, South Korea, Japan and India increases demand of trash bags. 
  • Rising Government initiatives to promote the proper management of garbage.
