Bioplastics Market by Raw Material (Aliphatic Polyesters, Cellulose-Based, Starch-Based), Degradability (Biodegradable, Compostable, Degradable), Processing Method, End-User - Global Forecast 2024-2030
Description
Bioplastics Market by Raw Material (Aliphatic Polyesters, Cellulose-Based, Starch-Based), Degradability (Biodegradable, Compostable, Degradable), Processing Method, End-User - Global Forecast 2024-2030
The Bioplastics Market size was estimated at USD 14.10 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 15.94 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 13.25% to reach USD 33.72 billion by 2030.
Bioplastics are materials derived from renewable sources such as plants, microorganisms, and agricultural waste that can function as alternatives to conventional plastics produced from fossil fuels. They exhibit similar properties to traditional plastics regarding flexibility, durability, and lightweight performance, making them suitable for various applications in packaging, automotive components, electronics, agriculture, and medical devices. Increasing environmental concerns and stricter regulations regarding plastic waste disposal have led to a higher demand for eco-friendly alternatives such as bioplastics. Rising public awareness about using sustainable products also drives the adoption of bioplastics. However, the production cost of bioplastics is higher than that of conventional plastics due to feedstock prices, economies of scale, and investment in research & development. Moreover, the development of new application areas for bioplastics and research to develop high-performance biopolymers with enhanced properties can broaden their adoption across various industries.
Regional Insights
The bioplastic market is evolving in the Americas with a strong focus on sustainability and reducing plastic pollution and investments in research and development (R&D) for innovative bioplastic solutions. The Europe, Middle East, and Africa region exhibits a varied landscape for bioplastics development owing to the efforts towards a circular economy by implementing policies and introducing legislation encouraging innovation in bioplastics. Africa, though currently having a small share of the global bioplastics market, offers considerable growth potential due to increasing consumer awareness of environmental concerns and regional governments' policy initiatives against single-use plastics. The Asia Pacific region is witnessing rapid bioplastic advancements, primarily owing to the focus on reducing plastic waste, leading to growing demand for biodegradable materials. Besides, ongoing 3D printing of bioplastics and expanding applications in healthcare are anticipated to boost the demand for bioplastics worldwide.
