Biodegradable Plastics Market Growth & Trends

The global biodegradable plastics market size is projected to reach USD 10.0 billion by 2030, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc., rising at a CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period. The increasing use of biodegradable plastics, owing to strict governmental laws prohibiting the use of conventional plastics, coupled with growing awareness among the public towards the ill effects of plastic waste is stoking the growth of the market. The above factors are expected to spur market growth during the forecast period.

Biodegradable plastics are plastics that decompose in the environment within a reasonable period. Biodegradable plastics are made up of renewable raw materials. Many of these plastics require biodegradable additives to enhance the biodegradation process and some may require a specific environment to disintegrate. Time taken by plastics to decompose depends upon various factors such as raw materials used and environmental conditions such as moisture and temperature.

The starch-based segment leads the global market. Starch-based plastics are used in various applications such as packaging, consumer electronics, agriculture, automotive, and textiles. PLA is also one of the most consumed biodegradable plastic-type. It is used in 3D printing, mulch film, and packaging.

Polylactic Acid Market Growth & Trends

The global polylactic acid market size is expected to reach USD 2,772.93 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 21.4% over the forecast period, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising environmental concerns, improving awareness among consumers, and stringent government regulations are contributing to eliminating the use of non-biodegradable plastics, which, in turn, is driving the growth of the polylactic acid (PLA) market. Polylactic acids are bio-sourced, and break down faster as compared to petroleum-based plastics. Due to their decreased carbon footprint, they get preference over traditional plastics. The rising emphasis on sustainable products is a key factor driving the growth of the flexible packaging industry, which is expected to result in reduced consumption of petroleum-based products and a shift toward bio-based alternatives.

Bio-based Polyurethane Market Growth & Trends

The global bio-based polyurethane market size is expected to reach USD 58.28 million by 2030, expanding at 7.97% CAGR from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing awareness among consumers, environmental concerns, and stringent government regulations are contributing to the increased use of bio-based plastics and in turn, driving the growth of the bio-based polyurethane industry.

Bio-based polyurethane is bio-sourced and breaks down faster as compared to petroleum-based plastics. Due to their decreased carbon footprint, they remain a preferred option over traditional plastics. The rising emphasis on sustainable products is a key factor driving the growth of the packaging industry, which is expected to result in reduced consumption of petroleum-based products and a shift toward bio-based alternatives.

Moreover, bio-based polyurethane is increasingly being used to manufacture single-use packaging materials that include shopping bags and disposable cutlery, which is likely to boost their demand over the forecast period. Bio-based polyurethane is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastics, notably in flexible and rigid packaging applications, as they are bio-based, compostable, and biodegradable.

Biopharma Plastics Market Growth & Trends

The global biopharma plastics market size is expected to reach USD 11,290.12 million by 2030, expanding at 11.3% CAGR from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The rise in global healthcare expenditure for research & development of biopharma plastics is anticipated to drive the market. In addition, the rising demand for biopharmaceuticals, owing to the increasing cases of cancerous patients across the globe, is anticipated to propel the demand for biopharma plastics.

Plastics are widely used in this industry due to their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. The use of plastics in biopharma applications includes packaging and delivery systems, laboratory equipment, diagnostic devices, and drug delivery devices.

The global biopharma plastics industry is expected to experience significant growth in the coming years. This growth is driven by factors such as the increasing demand for biopharmaceuticals, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, and the rise in healthcare expenditure. Additionally, the need for more advanced and innovative packaging and delivery systems for biopharmaceuticals is also expected to drive market growth.
