NEWARK, DELAWARE / ACCESS Newswire / February 4, 2026 / The global water soluble packaging market is set for dynamic growth over the next decade, projected to expand from USD 4.7 billion in 2025 to USD 9.1 billion by 2035, according to an in-depth new forecast by Future Market Insights (FMI). This growth reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%, propelled by increasing environmental regulations and rising consumer demand for sustainable packaging solutions.

Water soluble packaging, designed to dissolve in water without leaving harmful residues, is emerging as a critical component in reducing plastic pollution and meeting strict global sustainability mandates. The packaging is widely adopted in sectors such as agriculture, detergents, healthcare, and food services, marking a clear shift towards eco-friendly alternatives in both industrial and consumer markets.

Agriculture and Detergents: Leading Application Segments

The agricultural sector currently dominates the water soluble packaging market, accounting for approximately 38.0% of the global share in 2025. Water soluble films and pouches are preferred for delivering pesticides, fertilizers, and seeds, ensuring precise dosing and minimizing environmental impact.

The detergent segment is rapidly expanding, with demand driven by powdered and liquid detergent pods that utilize water soluble films for convenience and reduced plastic waste.

"The increasing focus on reducing microplastic contamination and enhancing packaging recyclability is accelerating water soluble packaging adoption across key industries," states the FMI analysis. "This innovation not only meets consumer expectations but also helps companies comply with tightening global regulations."

Environmental and Regulatory Tailwinds

Regulatory frameworks such as the EU's Single-Use Plastics Directive and increasing bans on non-biodegradable packaging in North America are significant growth catalysts. Water soluble packaging's inherent biodegradability and minimal environmental footprint position it as a preferred alternative.

Key environmental benefits include:

  • Reduction of plastic waste in oceans and landfills

  • Compatibility with circular economy initiatives

  • Improved biodegradability compared to conventional plastics

Asia Pacific: The Growth Hotspot
