NEWARK, Del, Dec. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sales of retail paper bags in Europe are estimated to be valued at around US$ 1,874.5 million in 2023. The business is expected to reach US$ 2,956.1 million by 2033. Revenue of the retail paper bag sector in Europe is projected to expand at a CAGR of 4.7% in the forecast period between 2023 and 2033.
Europe recorded a CAGR of 3.4% during the historical period. The country stood at a valuation of US$ 1,778.1 million in 2022, which was an increase from US$ 1,570.4 million in 2018.
With augmenting literacy rates and cognition in people about environmental degradation, consumer discretion is shifting toward the adoption of eco-friendly and safe packaging solutions in the food service business. The packaging sector consumes more than one-third of the plastic material produced globally. Replacement of plastic bags with paper bags is the key booster for the paper bag business.
The demand for packaged food is set to increase due to the changing lifestyle of people and a growing population. As countries in Europe are rapidly industrializing and experiencing urbanization, the demand for ‘on-the-go’ meals would fuel the growth of paper bags in the food service sector.

The food service sector is also focusing on logistics, trading, marketing, and customer services, all of which are directly dangling on the quality of the packaging of the food. The retail sector accounts for more than 50% of the paper bag business in developed countries across Europe. Hence, strong retail sales are anticipated to play a pivotal role in the growth of the retail paper bag business in Europe in the estimated period.
Increasing awareness among consumers and manufacturers regarding the effects of plastic packaging on the surroundings has resulted in a key shift in preference for environment-friendly packaging solutions, such as paper. Paper bags have experienced high penetration in the business in the last couple of decades. A strong retail sector outlook, coupled with high consumer preference for paper bags, is expected to ensure a positive outlook for the growth of Europe’s paper bag business.
