Polylactic Acid (PLA) Dominates the Market:

By type, the polylactic acid (PLA) segment held the largest share in 2023, accounting for nearly one-third of total market revenue. Derived from renewable resources such as corn starch and sugarcane, PLA has gained widespread adoption due to its biodegradability, versatility, and suitability for packaging and food-contact applications. Increasing concerns over petroleum-based plastics continue to boost demand for PLA-based solutions.

Packaging Segment Leads by Application:

By application, packaging emerged as the dominant segment, contributing over three-fifths of global revenue in 2023. Packaging waste remains one of the largest contributors to environmental pollution, prompting governments, businesses, and consumers to seek sustainable alternatives. Biodegradable plastics help reduce long-term waste accumulation by decomposing into natural components, making them an attractive choice for packaging applications.

Europe Leads Regional Growth:

Regionally, Europe accounted for the largest revenue share in 2023, representing more than two-fifths of the global market, and is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 8.7% through 2033. Strong environmental awareness, coupled with stringent EU regulations-such as the Single-Use Plastics Directive and the Circular Economy Action Plan-has created a highly favorable environment for biodegradable plastics adoption across the region.
