The bioplastics industry is a rapidly growing sector within the broader plastics industry. Bioplastics are a type of plastic made from renewable resources, such as plant-based materials, and are designed to be more environmentally friendly than traditional petroleum-based plastics. Here are some key aspects of the bioplastics industry:
The flexible packaging segment held the largest market share in 2021, garnering more than one-fourth of the global market, and is expected to maintain its leadership status during the forecast period. The consumer goods segment, on the other hand, is predicted to cite the fastest CAGR of 13.8% during the forecast period.

- Types of Bioplastics:
- Bio-Based Plastics: These are made from renewable resources like corn starch, sugarcane, or potato starch. Polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are common examples.
- Biodegradable Plastics: These plastics can break down naturally, often in composting conditions. Polylactic acid (PLA) and polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) are used in this category.
- Bio-Based and Non-Biodegradable Plastics: These plastics are made from renewable sources but do not necessarily biodegrade quickly. Polyethylene made from sugarcane is an example.
The biodegradable plastic segment held the dominating market share in 2021, holding nearly three-fifths of the global market, and is expected to maintain its leadership status during the forecast period. In addition, the same segment is expected to cite the fastest CAGR of 12.2% during the forecast period. The report also analyses other segment of the market such as non-biodegradable plastic.
- Environmental Benefits:
- Bioplastics are often marketed as a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastics because they are derived from renewable resources.
- They can have a lower carbon footprint, especially if the feedstock is grown sustainably.
- Market Growth:
- The bioplastics industry has been experiencing significant growth due to increased consumer awareness of environmental issues and stricter regulations on traditional plastics.
- It’s used in various sectors, including packaging, consumer goods, agriculture, automotive, and textiles.
- Challenges:
- Cost: Bioplastics are often more expensive to produce than petroleum-based plastics.
- Performance: Some bioplastics may not perform as well as traditional plastics in terms of durability and heat resistance.
- Feedstock Competition: There can be competition for agricultural resources between food production and bioplastic feedstock.
The market across Asia-Pacific region held the dominating market share in 2021, holding more than two-fifths of the global market, and is expected to maintain its leadership status during the forecast period. In addition, the same segment is expected to cite the fastest CAGR of 12.4% during the forecast period. The report also analzyes other regions such as North America, Europe, and LAMEA.
- Research and Development:
- Ongoing research and development efforts are focused on improving the properties of bioplastics, making them more cost-effective, and expanding the range of applications.
- Innovations in bioplastic blends and composites are also being explored.
- Global Players:
- Some notable companies in the bioplastics industry include NatureWorks (producer of PLA), Novamont, BASF, Braskem, and Total Corbion PLA.
- Future Outlook:
- The bioplastics industry is expected to continue growing as sustainability concerns become more prominent.
- Advancements in technology and increased scalability may help reduce production costs and make bioplastics more competitive with traditional plastics.
In summary, the bioplastics industry is an evolving sector that aims to provide more sustainable alternatives to traditional plastics. While it faces challenges related to cost and performance, it is likely to continue growing in importance as environmental concerns and regulations drive demand for eco-friendly materials.
The key players analzyed in the global bioplastics market report include Eastman Chemical Company, Kuraray Co. Ltd., LG Chem, BASF SE, Biome Technologies Plc., CJ CheilJedang Corp., Corbion N.V., Danimer Scientific, Dow Inc., Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings, Novamont S.P.A and SKC.
