SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): The latest research report published by Fortune Business Insights suggests tremendous growth to global recycled plastic market, aided by heightened demand from the packaging industry. The market is likely to hit $72.6 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 8.55% between 2019 and 2026. It must be noted that the market was worth $37.8 billion in 2018.

As per data, packaging industry accounts for over 40% of the overall plastics usage across the globe. The increasing demand for food-safety packaging material has led to sudden spike in consumption of recycled plastics. The plastics market will see notable growth, driven by increasing demand for packaging sports equipment, toys and fashion accessories.

The region is likely to generate the highest revenue during the forecast period.
