The global reusable shopping bag market size was US$ 10550 million in 2021. As per our research, the market is expected to generate substantial revenue by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.8% during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the reusable shopping bag market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

When it comes to sustainability, paper bags have some advantages over plastic bags. They are easier to recycle and can be used for composting because they are biodegradable. However, paper requires a lot of resources to make: making a paper bag takes nearly four times as much energy as making a plastic bag, and the chemicals and fertilizers required to make paper bags hurt the environment far more.

According to studies, a paper bag would have to be used three to 43 times to offset its environmental impact when compared to plastic. Because paper bags are the least durable of all bagging options, a person is unlikely to get enough usage out of any one bag to offset the environmental impact. A cotton bag would have to be used thousands of times to have a comparable environmental footprint (which includes climate change and other environmental effects) as plastic bags. Other materials, however, fare far better in terms of sustainability. Another prominent material is nonwoven polypropylene (PP).

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Decreased the Market Demand

Global economies have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. People reduced their excessive shopping, which reduced the demand for shopping bags. In the early stages of the pandemic, there was concern that reusable bags could harbor the virus and spread it between people. This led to a temporary ban on reusable bags in some places, and an increase in the use of single-use plastic bags.

Driving Factors

"Encouragement on Use of Reusable Things to Stimulate Market Demand"

Supermarkets frequently discourage consumers from using disposable plastic bags and offer alternative reusable shopping bags at a lower cost, as well as information on the environmental damage caused by the usage of plastic bags. Because of these encouragements, reusable shopping bags are gradually replacing plastic bags. Some governments have promoted the use of reusable shopping bags by imposing plastic bag bans, recycling regulations, taxes, or levies. This factor may lead to the reusable shopping bag market growth.

Restraining Factors

"Microplastics in Bags to Restrict Market Growth"

Reusable bags may also be composed of recycled plastic, polyester, or nylon (plastic-based fabrics). These bags, while as durable as cotton totes but raise environmental issues because they use crude oil as a raw material and can take a lot of energy and water to make. Furthermore, washing polyester or nylon bags can produce microplastics, which are microscopic bits of plastic that end up in the ocean and other bodies of water.
