Rising Environmental Awareness
Growing awareness about the environmental impact of conventional plastics has led to stricter regulations on non-biodegradable materials. Governments and organizations worldwide are enforcing bans or taxes on single-use plastics, creating opportunities for biodegradable alternatives like PBAT.

Demand for Sustainable Packaging
The global packaging industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Consumers and manufacturers alike are shifting toward sustainable options to reduce waste and carbon footprints. PBAT, with its biodegradability, aligns perfectly with this trend, driving its adoption in flexible packaging, food containers, and shopping bags.

Supportive Government Policies
Several countries are offering incentives for adopting eco-friendly materials. Subsidies, tax breaks, and research funding for biodegradable plastics are fostering innovation in the PBAT sector.

Technological Advancements
Innovations in polymer blending and processing technologies are enhancing the performance characteristics of PBAT. For instance, combining PBAT with other biodegradable polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA) improves its cost-effectiveness and durability, further expanding its range of applications.

High Production Costs
While PBAT offers environmental benefits, its production costs remain higher compared to traditional plastics. This cost disparity can deter small and medium-scale manufacturers from transitioning to PBAT-based materials.

Limited Availability of Raw Materials
PBAT production depends on specific raw materials that are not as readily available as those for conventional plastics. Fluctuations in raw material prices can also impact the overall market growth.

Competition from Other Biodegradable Polymers
PBAT competes with other biodegradable polymers such as PLA, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and starch blends. While each material has its unique advantages, the competition can limit PBAT's market share in certain applications.
