Global Bioplastics Market Highlights over 2022 – 2031
The global bioplastics market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of ~18% over the forecast period, i.e., 2022 – 2031. The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing demand for plastic that is biodegradable, in order to reduce environmental pollution caused by chemically manufactured plastics. Moreover, plastics are extensively used in various day-to-day activities, such as, packaging, which generates a significant amount of waste. To reduce this waste, bioplastics are the most feasible alternative to plastics. Therefore, the growing awareness amongst people regarding environmental conservation is estimated to boost the market growth. Additionally, bioplastics possess advanced technical properties, such as, reducing greenhouse gases, and increasing the source efficiency, and is being increasingly adopted amongst various end-user industries. For instance, in 2020, over 2 million metric tons of bio plastic was produced globally. Along with this, the stringent regulations by the government on plastics, and supportive initiatives to promote bioplastics are anticipated to further encourage the market growth.
The market is divided by product into biodegradable, and non-biodegradable out of which, the biodegradable segment is anticipated to hold a substantial share in the global bioplastics market over the forecast period on account of growing environmental awareness amongst people, leading to the higher adoption of naturally biodegradable plastics.
