Top Growth Drivers in the Biodegradable Polymers Industry: What's Accelerating the Market?
The growth of biodegradable polymer market is expected to be driven by the expansion of agricultural sectors. The term 'agricultural sectors' encompasses various aspects of agriculture such as crop cultivation, livestock rearing, forestry, fisheries, and agribusiness. All these areas focus on the production of food, raw materials, and related products. The expansion of these sectors is attributed to factors such as increasing global food demand due to population growth, advancements in farming technologies, more investment in sustainable practices, and the increased demand for bio-based materials. Biodegradable polymers find their use in these sectors as they help reduce plastic waste, enhance the health of the soil, and encourage sustainability. They serve as environmentally friendly substitutes for products like mulch films, seed coatings, and packaging materials. For instance, a report by the United States Department of Agriculture (a US government agency) published in September 2024 stated that in 2023, agriculture, food, and related industries contributed around $1.53 trillion to the U.S. GDP, equating to 5.6% of the total. Thus, it is the expansion of the agricultural sectors that is fueling the growth of the biodegradable polymer market.

What Trends Will Shape the Biodegradable Polymers Market Through 2029 and Beyond?
Key players in the biodegradable polymers market are focusing their efforts on creating soil conditioners aimed at enhancing soil texture, promoting water absorption, increasing nutrient access, and fostering healthier root growth. Soil conditioners are substances introduced to soil with the intent to enrich its physical properties such as texture, water retention and nutrient accessibility, all with the goal of encouraging plant proliferation and improving the health of the soil. For example, a UK-based firm known for manufacturing biodegradable and superabsorbent polymers, Hydroplan-EB, introduced a new biodegradable polymer named HYB PLUS in August 2024. The biodegradable polymers of Hydroplan-EB are engineered with additives that are instrumental in promoting enhanced root growth and successful settlement when undertaking planting and transplantation activities. The crucial advantage of these polymers is their ability to foster initial plant growth while simultaneously reducing the necessity for replanting. Additional benefits include increased levels of nitrogen, organic carbon, and enzymes known to help alleviate physiological stress typically related to transplantation.
