Bioplasticizers are polymer additives designed to improve flexibility, softness, processability and volatility. A plasticized material. They are based on renewable raw materials and are made from raw materials of plant origin. Raw materials such as soybean, palm oil, castor oil, citrate, stearic acid, starch. Bioemollients are widely used in PVC.
Market Dynamics:
The most important raw materials for the production of bio emollients include castor oil, soybean oil and linseed oil. Increased application of bio plasticizers in various end-use industries such as automotive, construction, packaging, textiles, transportation, and agriculture is expected to drive industry growth in the coming years. Consumer Goods is one of the fastest growing segments of the bio plasticizer market. Favorable government regulations on the use of bio plasticizers in the automotive, textile and consumer goods industries are expected to drive the global market during the forecast period. The use of bio plasticizers in packaging is expected to offer significant lucrative opportunities, for example the small amount of bio plastic required for beverage packaging compared to other conventional materials.
The price of bio plasticizers is directly related to the availability and price of epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO), succinic acid and castor oil, the main raw materials for bio plasticizer production. Oilseed prices are driven by several factors, including global supply and demand imbalances due to declining inventories, increased demand for castor oil from various application segments, production of other major crops, and weather conditions
