In this report, Technavio analysts highlight the emergence of bio-based
and renewable raw materials as a key factor contributing to the growth
of the global bioplastics
and biopolymers market:
Emergence of bio-based and renewable raw
materials
The global biopolymers market is anticipated to amass benefits from the
use of bio-based raw materials such as starch and vegetable crop
derivatives. The dependence on petroleum-based plastics is slowly
decreasing with the increased use of bioplastics in numerous
applications such as packaging and domestic goods. But, these sources
are expected to get exhausted in the next 30 to 40 years. Although new
bio-based products, which reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are
preferred, the process and product are required to be time and
cost-effective.
A key challenge faced by the petroleum-dependent industries is the
volatile prices that can be overcome by the establishment of
well-developed, self-sufficient, and state-of-the-art integrated
bio-refineries. The effective use of biomass such as grass, trees,
plants, and other organic materials such as animal meat and other
tissues, which decompose by the activities of microorganisms will help
in building a bio-based economy. This has led to the shift in the
preference of plastic manufacturers toward the production of biopolymers
based on renewable sources.
According to a senior analyst at Technavio for plastics,
polymers, and elastomers, “The raw materials used in the
production of biopolymers are renewable in origin and are available in
abundance across the globe when compared with petroleum and fossil-based
raw materials. Thus, the global outlook for bio-based raw materials for
polymers is significantly more positive than that of petroleum-based raw
materials.”
