Market Growth Factors

The growing awareness of environmental sustainability and regulatory backing are primary growth drivers. Governments worldwide are implementing bans and restrictions on non-biodegradable single-use plastics, promoting their adoption. For example, the European Union plans to ban single-use plastics by 2030, contributing significantly to market expansion. The rising demand for eco-friendly products and increased awareness about climate change and plastic pollution also support growth.

Technological advancements are fostering continuous innovation in bioplastics. Advances in polymer science and manufacturing processes have produced bioplastics comparable in durability and cost to petroleum-based plastics. Collaborations among key players enhance technology adoption. For example, Sulzer Ltd. signed in March 2024 to supply cutting-edge PLA technology for India's first bioplastics plant producing 75,000 tons annually using sugarcane feedstock. Companies like PlantSwitch convert large volumes of agricultural waste into bioplastic pellets, further catalyzing revenue.

The food and beverage industry has become a significant application area for bioplastics. Flexible bioplastics made from cornstarch are used increasingly in packaging due to growing consumer demand for ready-to-cook food products amid hectic lifestyles. The ready-to-eat meals market revenue is expected to double by 2025 from USD 1.02 Billion in 2024. Germany's expanding food and beverage sector also drives the demand for both flexible and rigid bioplastic packaging.
