Global Bioplastics Market: Drivers and Trends

Demand for bioplastics is increasing in the past decade due to growing awareness concerning environmental conservation, the use of bio-based or natural resources for manufacturing materials, and the formulation of various regulations across countries for the effective use of natural resources and waste management.

In terms of materials, the global bio-plastics market is segmented as bio-PET, bio-PE, bio-PA, bio-degradable polyesters, PLA & PLA blends, starch blends, PHA, and others. Currently, the bio-PET material segment dominates the bio-plastics market and was estimated to be US$ 5.6 Billion in 2014.

This segment is expected to reach US$ 29.1 Bn by 2020, with a momentous CAGR of 31.4% for the forecast period. Moreover, increasing demand for bio-plastics from the beverage packaging industry and the effectiveness of bio-plastics in the one-time-use application have driven the demand for bio-PET in the last few years.

Based on application type, the bio-plastics market is segmented as bottlers, other packaging, food services, agriculture/horticulture, consumer products, automotive, and others. Among all the aforementioned applications, the bottles segment is expected to dominate the market with 34.4% of the total revenue share by 2020.

However, the automotive segment is anticipated to exhibit the second-highest CAGR of 27.5% as compared to other applications during the forecast period.
