India`s import shipments of reusable shopping bags in 2024 continued to be dominated by top exporting countries such as China, Italy, Metropolitan France, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The market concentration, as measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), remained very high, indicating strong market control by a few key players. The impressive Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 30.72% from 2020 to 2024 demonstrates the growing demand for sustainable shopping solutions in India. Moreover, the growth rate of 6.47% from 2023 to 2024 indicates a steady upward trend in the import of reusable shopping bags, highlighting a promising market outlook for the industry.
The India reusable shopping bag market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 16.6% during the forecast period 2025-2031. This growth can be attributed to several factors such as rising awareness about environmental pollution, plastic ban initiatives taken by state governments, increasing government efforts to promote green and eco-friendly products through promotional activities and campaigns, advancement in technology for production of sustainable bags with improved features, changing consumer lifestyles due to urbanization and surging disposable income levels among consumers. Besides this, there has been an increase in demand for premium quality reusable shopping bags made up of jute fabric which are more durable than single use plastics. Additionally, India is the second largest producer of jute after Bangladesh making it easier for manufacturers to produce these bags locally reducing import costs and delays associated with international shipping process. Moreover, growing ecommerce industry has also resulted in increased need for packaging materials which further propelled the demand for reusable shopping bags throughout India.
On flipside however, limited availability of skilled labour force coupled with high production cost are some major challenges faced by manufacturers while producing these eco friendly alternatives resulting into higher prices compared to conventional plastic ones thus limiting its purchase capacity among low & middle class population segment restricting its overall market potentials. Furthermore covid 19 pandemic has caused disruption across industries leading towards severe economic losses worldwide including India therefore negatively affecting the retailers? business operations thereby decreasing their purchasing power resulting into decline in sales volume from last year despite recent surge witnessed post lockdown period.
Increase usage of organic/recycled fabrics like cotton canvas or hemp based material instead synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon in manufacturing process as they are biodegradable making them environment friendly option over other traditional options available on markets currently. Technological advancements have led towards development advanced designs offering lightweight and easily foldable properties allowing greater portability without compromising on strength. Growing popularity of customized printing options wherein customers can get their own images printed onto their choice bag depending upon particular occasion giving personal touch upon product. Emergence of new technologies such as Digital Printing Technology (DPT) enabling companies to provide personalized designing services on larger scale as well as introducing different print media options including paper transfer printing etc;
