Global bioplastics & biopolymers market size is projected to grow from USD 10.7 billion in 2021 to USD 29.7 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 22.7% between 2021 and 2026. Bioplastics are plastics derived from renewable sources such as corn, potatoes, rice, soy, sugarcane, wheat, and vegetable oil, while biopolymers are naturally occurring polymers. A bioplastic may or may not be biodegradable. Bioplastics are mainly segmented into biodegradable and non-biodegradable plastics for various applications in the packaging, consumer goods, automotive & transportation, agriculture & horticulture, medical, and other end-use industries.

APAC is estimated to be the fastest-growing market for bioplastics & biopolymers between 2021 and 2026. Growth in APAC is primarily attributed to the fast-paced expansion of the economies such as China, India, and Indonesia. Growing population increased consumer spending, and rapid industrial expansion are the major factors responsible for the high growth rate of the region. Growing environmental concern and awareness along with increasing regulations are the key factors driving the demand for bioplastics & biopolymers. The manufacturers focus on the high-growth market to gain market share and increase their profitability.
The bioplastics & biopolymers market players are continuously implementing organic and inorganic strategies for their growth. In recent years, the players have made many strategic developments in the emerging countries of APAC. For instance, in 2019, Total Corbion set up a PLA Plant in Rayong, Thailand, with a production capacity of 75,000 tons per year. In the same year, Mitsubishi Chemical Holding Corporation (Japan) and Lenovo Group Limited (China) entered into a joint venture to produce a bioplastic-based body (3D shape rear panel) for smartphones. In addition, Indonesia is exploring bioplastic alternatives, such as seaweed. Evoware, a local player, provides patented seaweed-based packaging. The company is producing containers made from seaweed. The regulations related to the environment are expected to increase, which would eventually propel the demand for bioplastics in these countries in the future. Moreover, Southeast Asia is rich in bio-based feedstock required to produce bioplastic as it has local access to sustainable raw materials. Thus, regulations, coupled with the easy availability of feedstock, will, in turn, help sustain the demand for bioplastics during the forecast period.
