The work aims to provide a comprehensive review of recent advancements in the development of biobased superhydrophobic coatings in the field of packaging, furnish researchers with rapid insights into the construction strategies and application scenarios of these coatings, and provide reference for the development of the next generation of biobased superhydrophobic coatings. Initially, the strategies for constructing superhydrophobic surfaces were briefly summarized. From the perspective of biobased material sources, preparation methods and performance characteristics of biobased superhydrophobic coatings, and their applications in the multifunctional packaging field were reviewed systematically. Subsequently, the main challenges and future development directions currently faced by these coatings were discussed. The results indicated that biobased superhydrophobic coatings demonstrated outstanding performance in multifunctional packaging fields, such as self-cleaning, anti-fouling, anti-corrosion, flame resistance and deicing, thus provided robust support for their future research and development. Owing to the excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility of biobased materials, the fabrication of fully biobased degradable superhydrophobic coatings will become an important research area in the future.
