Market Insight

Bio plastics are generally sourced from renewable biomass sources, comprising cellulose, plant starch, natural sugars, vegetable fats and oils, and even from novel sources such as seaweeds, insects, and animals. All the bio plastics are not bio-degradable; though, a large volume of plastics can be easily and naturally degraded, which makes them superior to traditional plastics. As a substitute to traditional plastics, the usage of bio plastics is being promoted for applications where conventional plastics are utilized, comprising packaging, textile, electronics, automotive, and furniture. Due to the increasing regulations imposed by various agencies on the use of non-renewable and single-use plastics, numerous industries are focusing on the development and utilization of bio plastics for several purposes. Furthermore, bio plastics is a field wherein research activities are being carried out on a huge scale, both from individuals and corporates, to create a sustainable environment for future generations.

An upsurge in the adoption of biodegradable products and improvement in the scope of bio plastics across end-user industries boosts the growth of the bio plastics market. Bio plastics have the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emission by 30%-70%, as related to conventional synthetic plastic. Bio plastics production is a cost-effective and efficient procedure. Additionally, the greenhouse gas emission of bio plastics is negligible during the time of degradation. Bio plastics represents a 42% decline in carbon footprints. Due to these advanced technical properties and functionalities, leading companies, such as Coca-Cola, Nike, Nestle, and Ford are exhibiting their interest in the production and usage of bio plastics materials, across numerous applications. On the other hand, high production costs and comparatively limited performance standards as compared to traditional plastics hinder the bio plastics market growth to a certain extent.

The Europe region is anticipated to witness substantial growth in the global bio plastics market owing to the advanced government policies encouraging the growth of bio plastics products. Moreover, the factors such as high disposable income, ease of availability, improvement in living standards extensive variety, and presence of domestic as well as international players in the market are driving the market growth.The Asia Pacific region is projected to witness the fastest-growing region during the forecast period owing to the increased contract manufacturing activities and proactive switching from conventional plastics to more environment-friendly materials. South America and Middle East & Africa are likely to expand at a healthy pace in the coming years due to the increased government interest in promoting the use of biodegradable plastic products by providing certain incentives that are likely to boost demand for bio plastics market in the region.
