Biodegradable Polymers Market Outlook 2025-2034: Key Trends, Growth Drivers, and Market Share

How Big Is the Biodegradable Polymers Market Expected to Be, and What Will Its Growth Rate Be?
In the recent past, there has been a swift expansion in the market size of biodegradable polymers. Projected to escalate from $7.78 billion in 2024 to $9.25 billion in 2025, it will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.8%. The historical period's growth is influenced by factors such as the burgeoning e-commerce sector, an expanding healthcare industry, initiatives advancing the circular economy, augmented demand from the cosmetics industry, and heightened investments in research and development.

Anticipated to witness a rapid expansion in the nearing years, the biodegradable polymers market is projected to surge to $18.17 billion by 2029, with an 18.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This growth during the forecast period can be credited to factors such as the rise in industrialization, growing preference for eco-friendly materials, expansion of the packaging industry, increased demand for sustainable packaging solutions, and more stringent environmental regulations. The forecast period is also expected to see key trends like technological developments, the use of life cycle assessments, hybrid materials, 3D printing, and the emergence of algae-based biodegradable polymers.

What Are the Primary Growth Drivers for the Biodegradable Polymers Market?
The biodegradable polymer market is projected to expand alongside growth in various agricultural sectors. These sectors, including crop production, livestock farming, forestry, fisheries and agribusiness, are all concentrated on food production, raw materials, and other related goods. Their growth can be attributed to an increasing global appetite for food due to population growth, developments in agricultural technologies, more investments in sustainable methods, and the increasing demand for bio-based materials. Biodegradable polymers, which are needed to decrease plastic waste, enhance soil health, and foster sustainability through eco-friendly product alternatives like mulch films, seed coatings, and packaging, play a significant role in these sectors. For instance, an American government agency, the United States Department of Agriculture, reported in September 2024 that agricultural sectors, including food and related industries, contributed around $1.53 trillion to the U.S. GDP in 2023, making up 5.6% of the total. Consequently, the expansion of agricultural sectors is pushing the growth of the biodegradable polymer market.

How Is the Biodegradable Polymers Market Evolving?
Leading firms in the biodegradable polymers industry are shifting their focus towards the production of soil conditioners designed to enhance soil structure, increase water retention, enrich nutrient content and stimulate efficient root development. These soil conditioners are essentially substances incorporated into the soil to boost its physical attributes, such as structure, water-holding capacity, and nutrient absorption capacity, which help propagate plant growth and nurture the soil. An instance of this development is Hydroplan-EB, a biodegradable and superabsorbent polymers producer from the UK which unveiled its HYB PLUS biodegradable polymer in August 2024. Hydroplan-EB's biodegradable polymers are uniquely formulated with additives that revitalize rooting and facilitate successful growth during both planting and transplanting. These polymers significantly enhance initial plant growth while considerably reducing the necessity for re-plantation. Their key advantages include an increase in nitrogen level, organic carbon, and enzymes that alleviate the physiological strain typically linked with transplanting.
