Market Report 2025: Compostable & Eco-Friendly Baking Paper Is Becoming the New Industry Standard

As global regulations tighten and sustainability moves from marketing slogan to mandatory compliance, compostable and eco-friendly baking paper is no longer a niche option — it’s becoming the new standard in food packaging. This trend is reshaping sourcing requirements for retailers, food manufacturers, and packaging distributors worldwide.

At Runjia New Materials, we’ve anticipated this shift. With a certified, industrial-scale supply of sustainable baking papers, we support B2B clients in meeting both compliance and consumer demand.

Why Is Compostable Baking Paper Gaining Market Share?

Recent market studies reveal that the vegetable parchment paper market is projected to grow from $1.34B in 2024 to over $2.1B by 2032, with a CAGR of 5.83% — driven by sustainable packaging demand in foodservice and retail. (Credence Research, 2025)

• 🌍 Environmental Regulations: Bans and taxes on non-compostable or non-recyclable packaging in the EU, US, and Asia-Pacific.
• 🛒 Consumer Pressure: 73% of global consumers prefer brands with eco-friendly packaging.
• 📊 ESG & Compliance: Corporate buyers are prioritizing biodegradable materials to meet their sustainability pledges.
