Market Overview:

The global bioplastics market size reached US$ 11.3 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 23.2 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1% during 2023-2028.

Bioplastic is a biodegradable material produced from natural resources, such as vegetable oils and starches, which is used to reduce plastic waste polluting the environment. It is highly durable and lightweight and can be molded into different shapes and sizes. It requires less amount of energy during the manufacturing process. As bioplastic is absorbed by the soil and converted to compost or humus, there is no need to add more landfills. In addition, it is recyclable and does not need any fossil fuel for recycling as compared to conventional plastics. As a result, it is widely used in agricultural products, coating, packaging, and consumer goods across the globe.

Bioplastics Market Trends:

The growing concerns among the masses about the harmful impact of plastics represent one of the key factors driving the market. Besides this, there is a rise in the demand for bio-based packaging in consumer goods as they have higher tensile strength. This, along with the increasing utilization of bioplastics in various industries to reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions, is contributing to the growth of the market. In addition, bioplastics are manufactured from renewable sources, such as corn, wheat, maize, and sugarcane, which is offering a positive market outlook. Moreover, governments of several countries are undertaking initiatives to promote the usage of bioplastics for reducing plastic pollution. They are also organizing various campaigns for using bioplastic products due to the increasing oil prices across the globe. Apart from this, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce bio-based polyethylene, nylon, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles for beverage packaging, which is positively influencing the market.
