Growth in organic farming is expected to drive market growth.

Vietnam Vice President Trinh Dinh Dung recently approved the Organic Agriculture Development Project for 2020-2030 in order to take advantage of organic agriculture's potential. The government prioritizes converting land to organic production in its push to increase organic aquaculture, hoping to account for between 0.5 and 1.5 percent of total aquaculture by 2030.

Of the waste produced, only 27% of it is recyclable and the rest is dumped in nature, creating environmental threats for the country. The Ministry further states that per capita plastic consumption has also increased tremendously from 3.8 kg per person in 1990 to over 41.3 kg per person in 2019. Rising plastic consumption and growing disposable problems had encouraged the usage of recyclable and reusable plastic, supporting the market demand for PET bottles in the vegetable juice industry.
