Regarding volume, the market was calculated XX Million Tons in 2023 and forecast to touch XX Million Tons by 2032 with a CAGR of XX% during 2024-2032.
Biodegradable polymers refer to a special class of polymer that breaks down by the bacterial decomposition process after its intended use. These polymers undergo deterioration and completely degrade when exposed to microorganisms, aerobic, and anaerobic procedures and result in natural byproducts such as gases, water, biomass, and inorganic salts. There has been an increase in interest in biodegradable polymers due to the natural breakdown mechanism. Biodegradable polymers are polymers produced from feedstock derived either from petroleum resources or from biological resources. These polymers are more generally made out of ester, amide, and ether functional groups. Biodegradable materials are used in packaging, agriculture, textile, consumer electronics, healthcare, and other areas for their friendly properties.
Market Dynamics
The global biodegradable polymers market has experienced exciting growth in the past five years. The market future is anticipated to remain healthy and lucrative in the coming years. The key factors: bans on the production & use of plastics, rising demand for sustainable alternatives, and growing plastic pollution have collectively transformed the biodegradable polymers market outlook. Mounting waste burden and its negative effect on the ecosystem is changing the industry's view towards biodegradable polymers. The biodegradable polymers will be more broadly used in the future due to the increase in usage of fossil fuels in manufacturing plastics, potential risks to public health, and inadequate sustainable disposal and recycling solutions. However, high product cost and limited availability of raw materials are factors restraining the global biodegradable polymers market.
