Throughout the projection period, market expansion will be driven by increasing demand for processed foods. Salt, oil, fat, and sugar have been added to these foods for flavor and taste. Furthermore, processed foods require packaging of longer shelf life than edible coatings can provide. Because many consume processed food, the use of edible coatings in combination with film is predicted to boost industry growth.

Short-Term: In the short term, firms are looking at food films consisting of protein and cornstarch as green alternatives to plastic. TIPA Corp has launched compostable and biodegradable packaging that is as flexible as plastic but fully sustainable and consumable. Increasing customer demand for chemical-free, organic packaging and stringent government regulations on single-use plastics are fueling the trend.

The North American edible packaging industry accounted for the highest share of 28.98% in 2024 owing to the presence of several leading players in the edible packaging market, research and development of edible packaging, and increased government investments in developing green packaging schemes. In addition, the region has a robust food processing industry, which generates high amounts of food waste that can be used as raw material for edible package solutions, which has made it easier for producers to access the raw materials needed to produce edible package solutions. For example, Apeel Sciences obtains its needed ingredients for edible coating development from leaves, stems, fruits, and flowers approved by World Health Organization (WHO), the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Health Canada.
