Biodegradable plastics are referred to as the type of plastics that can be degraded into biomass, water, and carbon dioxide by the action of microorganisms. They are predominantly produced using petrochemicals, microbes, and renewable raw materials, or sometimes by combining them all. These plastics are sustainable in nature since they emit lesser amount of greenhouse gases as compared to tradition plastic forms. The rising instances of environmental pollution, stringent government regulations to decrease the utilization of single-use plastics, and growing R&D activities in the field are primarily augmenting the outlook of this industry vertical.
Furthermore, increasing environmental consciousness of the masses, widespread industrialization, and willingness of consumers to pay for biodegradable products are creating lucrative opportunities for the marketplace to prosper. Also, rising adoption of sustainable plastics in the e-commerce sector is positively swaying the dynamics of this industry vertical. On the contrary, high costs pertaining to these plastics is hindering the remuneration scope of this market sphere.
With rising instances of ecological exploitation resulting in climatic change and other issues, the masses have become consciousness regarding the ill impact of single use plastics. This in turn in increased the adoption of biodegradable plastics in the end use sectors since they are eco-friendly and sustainable in nature.
There has been a rapid emergence of advanced applications aimed at the production of biodegradable plastic. Manufacturers across the globe are also engaging in R&D activities to promote the use of eco-friendly packaging materials in industries such as e-commerce, automotive, healthcare, and consumer electronics, among others. These factors are fueling the progression of the overall industry.
Type Insights
The PLA segment is poised to amass notable gains over the stipulated timeline owing to the affordability of these products. The PLA (polylactic acid) segment is one of the fastest-growing segments in the biodegradable plastics market. PLA is a bio-based plastic made from renewable resources such as corn starch, tapioca roots, or sugarcane. It has gained popularity in recent years due to its biodegradability, compostability, and non-toxic nature.
Application Insights
The Packaging segment is expected to generate significant market share of more than 20% over the estimated duration ascribing to the rising use of biodegradable plastics for packaging purposes across industries such as food & beverage, crockery, and pharmaceuticals, among others.
Regional Insights
North America, Middle East & Africa, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America are the primary regions constituting the geographical ambit of this business sphere. Among these, Asia Pacific is slated to capture a substantial market share owing to widespread urbanization, rising environmental cognizance, and abundance of raw materials required for the production of biodegradable plastics.
