Bio-based plastics are a type of plastic material derived from renewable sources, including plants, algae, and even bacteria, as opposed to traditional plastics made from fossil fuels. As their moniker suggests, these plastics are constructed with a foundational base of biological matter. Distinguished by their unique characteristics and properties, bio-based plastics are designed to reduce the carbon footprint, given their sustainable origins, and offer an appealing alternative to petroleum-based products. The biological resources used in the production of these plastics absorb carbon dioxide during growth, essentially countering the emissions produced during the lifecycle of the plastic. The working mechanism of bio-based plastics involves transforming the raw, biological materials into polymers through a series of chemical reactions, resulting in a plastic that is ready to be molded into a vast array of products. The performance characteristics of bio-based plastics, such as strength, flexibility, and durability, often mirror those of traditional plastics, making them functional for a wide range of applications.

The global market is majorly driven by the emerging trend towards sustainability and reducing carbon footprint due to the growing environmental consciousness among the masses. Moreover, stringent regulations on the use of petroleum-based plastics, especially single-use items, by various governments worldwide are resulting in a shift towards bio-based alternatives. In addition to this, the rapid expansion of end-use industries such as packaging, automotive, and consumer goods that are increasingly adopting bio-based materials is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor for the market.

Continual technological advancements in bio-based plastic production such as the advent of biodegradable or compostable variants are impacting the market positively. Additionally, the burgeoning demand for bio-based plastics in the medical sector due to their biocompatibility, sterilizability, and customizability is also fostering the market growth. Besides this, the easy availability of abundant and diverse feedstocks for producing bio-based plastics is creating lucrative opportunities in the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid industrialization, the rise in corporate sustainability goals, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
