Plastic-eating Bacteria Market to Expand at 15.1% CAGR from 2022 to 2031
The global plastic-eating bacteria industry was valued at US$ 194.5 thousand in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.1% from 2022 to 2031. Driven by rising environmental concerns and advancements in biotechnology, the market is expected to reach US$ 771.5 thousand by 2031. The increasing focus on sustainable waste management solutions is fueling the adoption of plastic-degrading microbes, positioning the industry for significant expansion over the forecast period.Rise in accumulation of plastics in landfills and oceans, and increase in concerns regarding plastic pollution are driving the plastic-eating bacteria market size. Plastic pollution adversely impacts aquatic life. Plastic debris can cause intestinal injury and death in marine wildlife such as seabirds, whales, fish, and turtles.

Recycling can help mitigate plastic pollution. Some bacteria have demonstrated significant potential in consuming plastic. Recently, a study in Germany reported the discovery of a highly efficient enzyme that degrades Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) in record time. Ideonella Sakaiensis, the heterotrophic bacteria, degrades PET. Such plastic-eating bacteria could help tackle around 14 million tons of plastic that is offloaded into oceans every year.
