Bioplastics are a type of plastic manufactured from biomass sources such as vegetable oils and certain starches and are also called biobased plastic. They are commonly used for insulation, as a packaging material and in crockery and food packaging. The bioplastic industry has high potential for growth if the focus is not just the replacement of current plastic applications but origination of newer properties and newer applications as well.
The global bioplastics market was valued at $XX Billion in 2018 and is estimated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of around X.XX% during the forecast period. Rising the adoption of biodegradable products and expanding the reach of bioplastics across end-user industries are driving growth in the demand for bioplastics. However, to a certain extent high production costs and comparatively limited performance standards compared with traditional plastics hamper the growth of the bioplastics market. Rising population and urbanization coupled with the increasing awareness regarding health-issues in emerging economies of Asia Pacific are likely to assist end-use industries, which in turn is expected to escalate the demand for bioplastics over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing product demand in the packaging industry will drive the market further.
The global bioplastics market is segregated on the basis of product, application, and geography. By
Based on application, the bioplastics market is bifurcated into packaging, agriculture, consumer goods, textiles, automotive & transportation, building & construction, others.
