Global Poly (Butylene Adipate-Co-Terephthalate) Market Size Study & Forecast, by Application and End Use, and Regional Forecasts 2025–2035

The Global Poly (Butylene Adipate-Co-Terephthalate) Market is valued at approximately USD 1.73 billion in 2024 and is expected to register a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.89% over the forecast period 2025 to 2035. Poly (Butylene Adipate-Co-Terephthalate), commonly known as PBAT, has swiftly carved a niche for itself as an eco-friendly, biodegradable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. Its unique blend of flexibility, compostability, and thermoplastic characteristics positions it as a preferred material across diverse sectors, particularly in single-use and packaging applications. As environmental regulations tighten and consumer sentiment swings dramatically toward sustainability, PBAT emerges as a linchpin material in the quest to transition from a linear to a circular plastics economy.

Key market drivers shaping this transition include surging demand for biodegradable packaging in foodservice, retail, and agriculture, driven by growing bans on single-use plastics and a push for compostable alternatives. From mulch films improving crop yield while decomposing in soil, to cling films and composite bags catering to compostable packaging mandates, PBAT’s use cases are expanding rapidly. Moreover, technological breakthroughs in polymer blends and manufacturing techniques are enhancing its mechanical strength and processability. However, its relatively high production costs, limited commercial-scale feedstock availability, and lack of widespread composting infrastructure in emerging markets are obstacles that continue to restrain its mainstream adoption.

From a regional standpoint, Europe held a significant market share in 2025, largely attributed to its progressive regulatory landscape and aggressive decarbonization goals under the EU Green Deal. Countries like Germany, France, and Italy have heavily incentivized the production and consumption of bio-based polymers. North America is also advancing steadily, bolstered by innovation in sustainable consumer packaging and active government support for green chemistry. However, the Asia Pacific region is poised to dominate future growth, fueled by rapid industrial expansion, environmental consciousness in nations such as China, Japan, and India, and increasing investment in bioplastics R&D and composting infrastructure.
