Global PBSA Market Growth 2025-2031
The global PBSA market size is predicted to grow from US$ 46.7 million in 2025 to US$ 87.8 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.1% from 2025 to 2031.
Poly butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate (PBSA) is a biodegradable, semi-crystalline polyester produced by co-condensation of succinic and adipate acid with 1-4-butanediol. All three building blocks can be produced either from renewable feedstock such as glucose and sucrose via fermentation or from petroleum-based feesstock. PBSA is a very attractive biopolymer because its mechanical properties and service temperatures are comparable with those of widely used polyolefins.
The main manufacturers of Global PBSA include Kingfa and Sinopec. Kingfa is the core manufacturer with a market share of about 88%. China is the leading production region in the world. The product is widely used in packaging industry, followed by agriculture production.
The Polybutylene Succinate Adipate (PBSA) market is expanding rapidly, driven by increasing demand for biodegradable plastics and sustainable packaging solutions. PBSA, a biodegradable polyester, offers flexibility, strength, and a high degree of biodegradability, making it suitable for a range of applications such as agricultural films, food packaging, and disposable items. With growing environmental concerns and stricter regulations on single-use plastics, industries are turning to PBSA as an alternative that aligns with sustainability goals. Companies are investing in research and development to enhance PBSA’s properties, such as improving its thermal stability and mechanical strength, to widen its applicability and improve cost-effectiveness.
The Asia-Pacific region, particularly China and Japan, dominates the PBSA market due to their strong manufacturing base and focus on sustainable materials. Additionally, Europe is a significant market, driven by stringent environmental policies like the European Green Deal, which promotes the use of biodegradable plastics. The food packaging and agricultural sectors are the major consumers of PBSA, with innovations aimed at developing compostable products that meet regulatory standards. As consumer preferences shift towards eco-friendly products, and as industries adapt to comply with environmental regulations, the PBSA market is expected to continue its upward trajectory, with ongoing research efforts focused on increasing production efficiency and expanding its range of applications.
