Adoption of PHAs in the Pharmaceutical Sector - PHAs have been discovered to work well in a variety of medical settings, including as anticancer agents, biocontrol agents, drug carriers, biodegradable implants, tissue engineering, and memory enhancers. The growing pharmaceutical sector is expected to propel the PHA market in the projected years. For instance, it was found that the total global pharmaceutical sales in 2018 reached around USD 973 billion, which further rose to nearly USD 1,187 billion in 2021.
Worldwide Spike in Packaging Industry - Packaging is one of the most significant aspects addressed by manufacturers to maintain the aesthetic appeal of a product to consumers. The global packaging industry is rapidly expanding owing to a boost in the number of manufacturing units, food processing facilities, and industrial output. Therefore, a massive surge in the packaging industry is also anticipated to boost the market growth of the global polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) market during the forecast period. For instance, it was reported that the worldwide packaging sector expanded to a value of over USD 769 billion in 2020.
Rising Government Initiatives to Reduce Non-Degradable Wastes - For instance, the plastic waste amendment rules, of 2021, by the Indian government forbid the use of single-use plastics with a thickness of 50 to 75 microns by 2022.
Increased Production of Bioplastics – 2021 witnessed a 16% rise in the global production of bioplastics, reaching 2.5 million metric tons, and is expected to reach 7.7 million metric tons by 2026.
Escalating Ratio of Flexible Packaging – For instance, currently, flexible packaging represents around 40% of packaging worldwide and around 21% in the United States.
The global polyhydroxyalkanoate market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into packaging & food services, biomedical, agriculture, cosmetics, and others. Out of these segments, the packaging & food services segment is anticipated to hold the highest market share by the end of 2033. Owing to their hydrophobic nature and extensive mechanical flexibility, they are potential materials to compete with petrol plastics in the market for food packaging. According to a report, by 2022, the online food delivery segment was expected to have a 24% user penetration rate, and by 2027, the online food delivery is expected to have nearly 2615 million customers. Since packaging is a highly leading array where PHA is estimated to replace conventional plastic materials, and several countries have already started the initiatives to completely ban plastic use, which is anticipated to further create positive opportunities for polyhydroxyalkanoate to acquire the larger market size in the coming years.
The global polyhydroxyalkanoate market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into short chain length, medium chain length, and long chain length. Amongst these three segments, the short chain length segment is expected to garner a significant share. The cost of short chain length is very low as compared with the medium chain length. Therefore, this factor is ascribed to fuel the growth of the market in the projected time frame.

The Asia Pacific polyhydroxyalkanoate market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2033. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the boom in the packaging and biomedical sectors, and the rising number of working people, that increases the demand for packaged foods and other ready-made products. For instance, China generates around 10,000 metric tons per year PHA by Tianjin Green Bio-Science, whereas, in 2021, there were roughly 747 million working people in China. Further, the presence of significant key manufacturers of polyhydroxyalkanoate is another factor that is anticipated to expand the market growth over the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2033.
In addition to this, the European polyhydroxyalkanoate market is estimated to display notable market growth by the end of 2033. The major factors that contribute to the growth of the market in this region are the surge in the demand for PFA in terms of value and volume in several countries in the region, followed by the expanding governmental policies and initiatives to support the use of biodegradable plastics, along with increasing awareness in people regarding the environmental concern. Additionally, the increasing demand for premium packaging, and growing foreign exports are some more factors that are estimated to further propel the market growth during the projected time frame in the region.
Kaneka Corporation has made great efforts to implement appropriate rates in order to maintain a steady supply of its products, given the rising cost of raw materials such as naphtha.
Danimer Scientific, Inc. has completed the acquisition of Novomer, Inc., which is a leading developer of conversion technology that allows for the production of PHA-based resins and other biodegradable materials with transformable, functional, and low-net carbon inputs.
In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.
