Description

Retail Bags

US demand for retail bags is projected to increase 4.7% per year to $4.2 billion in 2023. While single-use plastic bag usage will continue to decline, growth in market value will result from a sharp increase in average prices as the product mix shifts to higher-priced paper and reusable bags. The proliferation of single-use bag regulations will have a profound impact on retail bag market size and the types of bags that are used in the future.
