What Is the Size of Global Biodegradable Plastic Industry?

Global Biodegradable Plastic market is growing at a CAGR of ~% in 2017-2022 and is expected to reach ~USD Bn by 2028F. The Biodegradable Plastic Market is largely driven by Increasing consumer awareness regarding eco-friendly plastic solutions and rising efforts to reduce the use of conventional plastics

The major challenge faced by the market is the high price of biodegradable plastics as compared to traditional polymers. Biodegradable plastics are typically 20-80% more expensive to manufacture than conventional plastics, due to the high polymerization cost of such plastics. Higher costs of these plastics hinder the market growth.

Growing piles of garbage and landfills have become a major environmental disaster, with many negative impacts on ecosystem flora and fauna. Growing consumer awareness of the effects encourage the use of biodegradable plastics. Hence, shifting consumer preference toward using environmentally friendly plastic products, driving the market for biodegradable plastics. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted supply chains on both supply and demand sides, which negatively impacted many manufacturing and service industries such as consumer goods, packaging, textiles, agriculture, and horticulture. The closure of biodegradable plastic manufacturing plants and the irregular supply of raw materials required for production hindered the industry growth in 2019-2020.

Global Biodegradable Plastic Market By Product Type

The Global Biodegradable Plastic market is segmented by Product type into Starch Based, Polylactic acid (PLA), Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), Polybutylene Adipate Co-terephthalate (PBAT), Poly Butylene Succinate (PBS) and Others. The starch-based segment held the largest market share in the global biodegradable plastics market in 2022, owing to its wide area of applications such as packaging, automobiles, and agriculture.

Rising demand for starch-based bioplastics in the packaging industry due to their low toxicity and versatile behavior. This type of bio-based plastic is the perfect substitute for petroleum-based polymers.

Global Biodegradable Plastic Market By End-User

The Global Biodegradable Plastic Market is segmented by End-User into Packaging, Agriculture, Consumer Goods, Textiles, Healthcare and Others. The packaging segment held the largest market share in the global biodegradable plastics market in 2022, due to rising consumer demand for durable green packaging materials for food, beverages, and other products.

In the packaging industry, conventional plastics are being replaced by bio-based plastics for making boxes, wraps, cups, and plates, which is supporting the growth of the biodegradable plastic market. For instance, EnviGreen, an Indian manufacturer of edible and 100% biodegradable plastic bags, launched ‘EnviGreen bags’ which have the capability to break down completely in 15 seconds if placed in the boiling water.

Global Biodegradable Plastic Market By Geography

The Global Biodegradable Plastic market is segmented by geography into North America, Europe, Asia- pacific and LAMEA. Europe held the largest market share among all other regions within the Global Biodegradable Plastics Market in 2022, due to high awareness among people toward plastic waste. A complete ban imposed on single-use plastics by the European government is the major reason for the bio-based plastic materials to grow in the region.

The region is expected to lead the biodegradable plastics market over the forecast period owing to the fast implementation of plastic restriction policies, and the presence of advanced standards and certification systems to check the biodegradability of plastic materials. Growing economies like China and India have implemented severe regulations on conventional plastics utilization and major manufacturers in the countries are introducing sustainable packaging solutions like bio-based products, which is estimated to drive market growth.

3 Key Insights on Competitive Landscape in Global Biodegradable Plastics Market: Ken Research

Few Diverse Regional Players Dominate the Market despite the Presence of about ~300 Competitors Comprising a Large Number of Country-Niche Players and Global Players, finds a recent market study on the Global Biodegradable Plastics Market by Ken Research

Biodegradable plastics are the type of plastics that can be broken down into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass by the action of living organisms, usually micro-organisms. Biodegradable plastics are typically made from renewable sources, microbes, petrochemicals, or a combination of all three. Some biodegradable plastics are compostable, which means they decompose under controlled conditions such as those found in compost or anaerobic digestion locations.

Ken Research shares 3 key insights on the competitive landscape of this dynamic market from its latest research study.

Global Players Constitute ~15% of the Total Number of Competitors, While Regional Players Dominate Representing ~45% of Total Competitors.

A comprehensive competitive analysis conducted during the Research Study found that the Global Biodegradable Plastics Market is competitive with ~300 players, including globally diversified players, regional players, and many country-niche players. The regional players comprise about 45% in terms of the number of companies followed by country-niche players with 40% of the total competitors.

Growing Acceptance of Biodegradable Plastics Consumption in the Automotive Industry and the Shift of the Packaging Industry towards Bio-based Materials are Expected to be the Primary Drivers of this Market

Detailed comparative analysis of key competitors available within the Research Study shows that major players such as BASF SE, Eastman Chemical Company,Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, TotalEnergies Corbion, and others are highly focused on providing a significant number of biodegradable plastics products that can be used across multiple end-user industries, including building & construction, packaging, electrical & electronics, automotive, and more. Furthermore, several companies and organizations are aggressively focusing on acquisitions and mergers with specialized players for the development of techniques used in the manufacture of biodegradable plastic materials.

• In July 2021, Solvay acquired the global coating business of Bayer AG, having facilities in France, Brazil, and the U.S. The acquisition strengthened the sustainable and bio-based solutions in the company’s portfolio. The whole product portfolio and research & development projects from Bayer AG have been shifted to Solvay.

• In April 2021, NatureWorks announced a new strategic partnership with IMA Coffee, which is a market leader in coffee handling processing and packaging. The partnership aimed at increasing the market reach for high-performing compostable K-cup in North America.

• In February 2020, BASF and Fabbri Group (Italy) formed a joint venture for the development of a sustainable solution for cling film used in fresh-food packaging. The film is used in wrapping meat, seafood, and fresh fruits & vegetables. The product is made by the Fabbri group with BASF's Ecovio bioplastic, which boosted the demand for biodegradable plastics in packaging applications.

Increased Government Initiatives and New Strategical Investments in the Polymers Industry Promoted Biodegradable Plastics Products Which Led to Major Industry-Wide Developments, Acquisitions, and Deal-Wins.

The Governments of many developed countries are committed to achieving zero plastic waste by establishing regulations and policies that drive the demand for biodegradable plastics. For instance,

• In January 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced USD 13.4 million in funding for next-generation plastics technologies that reduce the energy consumption and carbon emissions of single-use plastics.
• In March 2022, the European Commission announced a suite of new proposals under the European Green Deal to make sustainable products the norm in the EU. Ecodesign for sustainable products regulation (ESPR) is one of the proposals, which is applicable to food contact articles and packaging.

Governments started providing funding to the companies involved in developing biodegradable plastics for reducing plastic waste in the country. For Instance, in August 2022, the Indian Union Government approved a Startup loan of USD 0.14 million to M/s TGP Bioplastics, a manufacturer of commercially viable biodegradable plastic grade for commercializing compostable plastics.
