Industry Overview
By 2034, the trash bag market is expected to be valued at USD 32,852.77 million, advancing steadily with a 7.74% CAGR during the forecast period. A trash bag is a plastic sack designed to hold and carry waste inside garbage bins. It keeps the bin clean, controls odor, and allows for easier disposal of household or commercial trash. These bags are available in multiple sizes and strengths depending on the type of waste.
Urbanization and people moving to the cities are the main reasons for such a significant rise in the global trash bag market. The consumption of packaged and disposable products along with the production of waste from the households and municipalities are the main reasons for the increase in waste generation. Trash bags are the cheapest and most convenient way to collect and store waste, which is necessary to ensure hygiene and prevent diseases in densely populated urban areas. Also, the transition of government rules from waste management by collection to separation at source, and sustainable disposal, keeps on pushing the trash bag market to come up with more specialized and high-quality products and services.
