  • As per the industry reports, in 2022, the European Union achieved a recycling rate of 41% for all plastic packaging waste generated. With the increasing demand for eco-friendly products, both businesses and consumers are actively looking for packaging solutions that are recyclable, biodegradable, and reusable. Advances in recycling technologies, along with a transition towards circular economies, are contributing to the reduction of plastic waste, promoting sustainable materials, and developing a burgeoning market for environmentally friendly packaging options.
  • During the 2019/20 harvest year, a total of 229,280 farmers cultivated 1,144,350 bales (equivalent to 249,153 tons) of organic cotton fiber across 1,454,030 acres (or 588,425 hectares) of certified organic land in 21 countries. The growing interest in eco-friendly textiles is contributing to an increased demand for organic cotton. This heightened demand for sustainable fabrics is prompting brands to embrace organic cotton as a viable alternative, thereby fostering environmentally responsible agricultural practices and mitigating the ecological footprint of the textile sector, contributing to the sustainable materials market revenue.
  • In May 2024, the global crude steel production reported by the 71 countries associated with the World Steel Association (worldsteel) reached 165.1 million tonnes (Mt), marking a 1.5% increase compared to May 2023. This growth highlights the resilience of the steel sector on a global scale. Steel is increasingly viewed as an eco-friendly material, primarily due to advancements in sustainable production methods, such as electric arc furnace (EAF) technology, which uses recycled scrap steel and significantly reduces carbon emissions. These technological advancements are essential for minimising waste, energy consumption, and environmental impact, positioning steel as a more sustainable choice for various sectors.

Global Sustainable Materials Market Growth

Nowadays, international organisations and different nations across the globe are investing in the promotion and adoption of sustainable materials. For instance, India is working to establish itself as a global frontrunner in the production and implementation of battery energy storage systems. On November 11, 2020, the Government of India (GOI) approved a Production-Linked Incentives (PLI) scheme valued at around USD 27 billion over five years, targeting ten critical sectors. This initiative aims to enhance domestic manufacturing, decrease imports, and create job opportunities. Importantly, the program allocates nearly USD 2.5 billion in incentives specifically to produce Advanced Chemistry Cells (ACC) batteries, with the goal of attracting both large domestic and international firms to develop a competitive ACC battery infrastructure in the country, further supporting the sustainable materials market.

Moreover, the demand for green energy technologies, along with the materials necessary for their production, transportation, and installation, is projected to rise significantly in the coming years and decades. A report from the World Bank estimated that the demand for minerals essential for solar panels such as copper, iron, lead, molybdenum, nickel, and zinc could increase by 300% by 2050. Furthermore, an increase in investment in research and development (R&D) focused on sustainable materials is expected to generate significant opportunities for stakeholders in the sustainable materials market soon.

Key Trends and Developments
