Key Market Insights

Biodegradable plastics are widely utilized in various applications like packaging, agriculture, consumer goods, and others. The manufacturers are focusing towards innovation to capture more of the market share. The demand for biodegradable plastics is increasing owing to the increased awareness about environment and reducing the plastic waste.

The increasing awareness across the globe, especially developed regions along with increasing environmental protection efforts from the governments is pushing the growth of biodegradable plastics. On the other hand, growing economies and increasing per capita income along with technological innovations to bring down the prices are making biodegradable plastics more and more affordable & efficient. The evolution of new enzymes to degrade commodity polymers and upgrade of older biodegradable plastic with enhanced properties is expanding the application areas providing additional growth opportunities to the market.

Europe dominates the market currently and is also expected to grow during the forecast period due to intense demand. Asia Pacific is expected to accelerate in the market during the forecast period. Some of the prominent key players in the biodegradable plastics market are Arkema, BASF, Corbion, DowDuPont, and Cargill.
