By material, the paper & paperboard segment is projected to account for the largest share in the eco-friendly food packaging market during the forecast period
The emulsifiers segment, by ingredient, is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. This is due to its higher use in the foodservice and retail industry along with the transport of bulk food & beverage products. Paper & paperboards are the most preferred packaging in the food & beverage industry due to their degradable nature and recyclable property. Ready-to-eat, on-the-go, and frozen & fresh foods are nowadays served and transported in the paperboard packaging, which is due to the rise in environmental hazards.
