Biodegradable Polymers demand stood at 1.28 Million Tonnes and is projected to reach 2.338 Million Tonnes by 2030, growing at a steady CAGR of 6.55% in the forecast period.
Biodegradable Polymers are polymers that are degradable and break down into smaller molecules due to the action of agents such as microorganisms and, also nature. Based on feedstock type they can be classified into Natural Biodegradable Polymers which are formed in nature and Synthetic Biodegradable Polymers and are based on petroleum. Various Natural Biodegradable Polymers include Polylactic Acid (PLA), Polyhydroxy Butyrate (PHB), Starch-based Biopolymers, Cellulose derivatives, etc. Synthetic Biodegradable Polymers include Polycaprolactone (PCL), Polyglycolide (PGA), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxy valerate) (PHBV), poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), etc. and others. Biodegradable Polymers find application in Agriculture Films, Textile, Consumer Goods, Packaging, Healthcare, and others.
Leading authorities around the globe are supporting the use of Biodegradable Polymers based products for replacing conventional plastics as Biodegradable Polymers are less toxic, have lower side effects, and aids in the process of stabilization of drug. Upcoming technologies such as Biodegradable composite materials and Biobased hybrid nanocomposites having application in artificial joints, drug delivery systems, etc. are expected to push the demand further in the long run.
In 2020, the spread of COVID-19 in major global economies caused a sudden fall in demand for electronics, automobiles, and construction. Manufacturing units were temporarily shut down and disruption in the supply chain was observed which affected the market adversely. Fall in end-use segment impacted the demand of global Biodegradable Polymers market for the first half of 2020. However, after the covid period, the Biodegradable Polymer market is expected to pick up the pace eventually.
Region-wise, the APAC region holds the major share of global demand for Biodegradable Polymers. China and India are considered to be the fastest-growing economies. The easy availability of raw materials in the region along with the rise in awareness regarding the benefits of using Biodegradable Polymers is expected to boost the market growth.
Major players for Biodegradable Polymers globally include Treofan, Purac, Mitsui Chem, Nature Works LLC, BASF SE, Galactic, Shimadzu, Dainippon Ink Chem, Chronopol, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Biomer, Novamont, Rodenburg Biopolymers, National Starch, Végémat, Limagrain and others.
