簡介目錄

概述

全球生物聚合物市場2023年達到175.2億美元，預計2031年將達到360.3億美元，2024-2031年預測期間複合年成長率為9.43%。

生物聚合物是一類合成材料，除了甘蔗和玉米等農產品外，還由剩餘木材和木材等植物源物質生產。生物聚合物本質上是可生物分解的，與傳統的聚合物或塑膠不同，傳統的聚合物或塑膠會加劇污染和全球暖化等眾多環境問題。

市場擴張主要歸因於對基於PHA的可生物分解聚合物的需求不斷增加。為了滿足不同最終用途領域對永續包裝日益成長的需求，領先的包裝和塑膠製造商正在轉向使用可生物分解的產品。生物聚合物可用於多種應用，包括生物醫學、製藥和食品領域。由於其卓越的恢復特性，它們在生物醫學應用中備受追捧，因為它們有助於各種形式和尺寸的傷口的癒合。

艾倫麥克阿瑟基金會 (EMF) 報告稱，每年生產 7,800 萬噸一次性塑膠包裝，其中不到 2% 得到有效回收。值得注意的是，由於加工和垃圾收集設施不足，32% 的產品被排放到自然環境中。鑑於這一事實，政策制定者、製造公司和全球品牌正在探索消除洩漏造成的有害污染並提高回收率的方法。因此，人們付出了巨大的努力來推廣在許多報廢環境中可回收的包裝。因此，對該產品的需求將大幅增加。

動力學

石化塑膠的永續替代品

生物聚合物是從甘蔗、玉米、剩餘木材和立木等原料中提取的聚合物。與導致全球暖化和污染的傳統聚合物或塑膠不同，生物聚合物是可生物分解的。預計生物基聚合物的利用率將會提高。因此，生物聚合物被認為是傳統石油基塑膠的更永續的替代品，因為它們可以透過自然過程分解並且不會威脅生態系統。

消費者越來越重視自己的碳足跡，並要求更環保的永續產品。世界各國政府正在實施策略，透過限制一次性塑膠和推廣天然包裝替代品來減少塑膠廢物。隨著企業和消費者越來越認知到傳統石化塑膠對生態的影響，預計這一趨勢將在整個預測期內持續存在。

推動新興地區成長的策略性舉措

生物塑膠和生物聚合物的市場參與者正在積極利用有機和無機技術來刺激其成長。近年來，亞太新興經濟體取得了重大策略進展。 2019 年，Total-Corbion 在泰國羅勇市開設了一家 PLA 工廠，年產能為 75,000 噸。三菱化學控股公司（日本）和聯想Group Limited（中國）成立了一家合資企業，生產生物塑膠智慧型手機零件。

此外，印尼正在研究生物塑膠替代品，包括海藻。當地實體 Evoware 提供源自海藻的專有包裝，預計環境限制的增加將增加亞太國家對生物塑膠的需求。此外，東南亞擁有豐富的生物基原料，確保了生物塑膠製造原料的持續供應。因此，監管的進步和原料的可及性預計將維持該地區對生物塑膠的需求。

可生物分解塑膠的價格上漲

相較於傳統聚合物，可生物分解塑膠的成本較高，限制了各應用領域的市場擴張。可生物分解聚合物的生產成本一般比傳統塑膠高20-80%。這種差異主要是由於可生物分解聚合物的聚合成本較高，因為大多數方法仍處於開發階段，尚未實現規模經濟。

例如，用於黏合劑、合成紙、醫療器材、電子元件、食品包裝和農業的 PHA 面臨著生產成本升高、產量低和可用性有限的問題。儘管 PLA 的生產成本比 PHA 低，但其成本卻比石油衍生的 PE 和 PP 更高。一般來說，生物基材料仍處於開發階段，尚未達到與石化材料相同的商業化程度。

有限生產規模導致的研發和生產費用增加，加上與傳統石油基塑膠相比存在巨大的價格差異，是阻礙生物分解塑膠在不同行業廣泛採用的主要問題。

Biopolymers, a category of synthetic materials, are produced from plant-derived substances such as residual wood and timber, in addition to agricultural commodities like sugarcane and corn. Biopolymers are inherently biodegradable, unlike traditional polymers or plastics, which exacerbate numerous environmental problems such as pollution and global warming.

The market expansion is primarily ascribed to the increasing demand for PHA-based biodegradable polymers. In response to the increased demand for sustainable packaging across diverse end-use sectors, leading packaging and plastics manufacturers are transitioning to biodegradable goods. Biopolymers are utilized in several applications, including biomedical, pharmaceutical, and food sectors. Due to their superior recovery properties, they are much sought after in biomedical applications, since they facilitate the healing of wounds of various forms and dimensions.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF) reports that 78 million tons of single-use plastic packaging are produced annually, with less than 2% being effectively recycled. Remarkably, 32% of this product is discharged into the natural environment due to inadequate processing and trash collection facilities. In light of this truth, policymakers, manufacturing firms, and worldwide brands are exploring methods to eliminate the harmful pollution caused by leakage and to enhance recycling rates. Consequently, there has been a significant effort to promote packaging that is recyclable in many end-of-life contexts. Consequently, the demand for the product is poised to increase substantially.

Dynamics

A Sustainable Alternative To Petrochemical Plastics

Biopolymers are polymeric substances derived from raw materials such as sugarcane, corn, residual wood, and standing lumber. Biopolymers are biodegradable, unlike conventional polymers or plastics, which contribute to global warming and pollution. The anticipated increase in the perception of bio-based polymer utilization is forecasted. Consequently, biopolymers are considered a more sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics, as they can be decomposed through natural processes and do not threaten the ecosystem.

Consumers are increasingly conscientious about their carbon footprint and are requesting more environmentally sustainable items. Governments worldwide are implementing strategies to reduce plastic waste by imposing restrictions on single-use plastics and promoting natural packaging alternatives. This trend is anticipated to persist throughout the projected period, as enterprises and consumers increasingly recognize the ecological repercussions of traditional petrochemical-derived plastics.

Strategic Initiatives Fueling Growth In The Emerging Regions

Market participants in bioplastics and biopolymers are actively utilizing both organic and inorganic techniques to stimulate their growth. Recent years have observed substantial strategic advancements in the Asia-Pacific rising economies. In 2019, Total-Corbion inaugurated a PLA facility in Rayong, Thailand, with a manufacturing capacity of 75,000 tons per annum. Mitsubishi Chemical Holding Corporation (Japan) and Lenovo Group Limited (China) established a joint venture to manufacture bioplastic-based smartphone components.

Moreover, Indonesia is investigating bioplastic substitutes, including seaweed. Local entity Evoware provides proprietary packaging derived from seaweed, anticipating a rise in environmental restrictions that will elevate the need for bioplastics in Asia-Pacific nations. Moreover, Southeast Asia possesses ample bio-based feedstock, guaranteeing a sustained supply of raw materials for bioplastic manufacturing. Thus, regulatory advancements and the accessibility of feedstock are expected to maintain the need for bioplastics in the region.

Higher Prices Of Biodegradable Plastics

The expansion of the market across various application areas is constrained by the elevated cost of biodegradable plastics relative to conventional polymers. The production cost of biodegradable polymers is generally 20-80% greater than that of traditional plastics. This difference mostly arises from the high polymerization costs of biodegradable polymers, as most methods remain in the developmental stage and have not attained economies of scale.

For example, PHAs, used in binders, synthetic papers, medical devices, electronic components, food packaging, and agriculture, face elevated production costs, low yields, and restricted availability. Despite having a lower production cost than PHAs, PLAs are nevertheless more costly than petroleum-derived PE and PP. In general, bio-based materials remain in the developmental phase and have not been commercialized to the same degree as their petrochemical equivalents.

Elevated research and development, as well as production expenses stemming from limited-scale manufacturing, coupled with substantial price disparities relative to conventional petroleum-based plastics, are primary issues impeding the widespread adoption of biodegradable plastics across diverse industries.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has profoundly affected the biopolymer sector, chiefly due to the disruption of manufacturing and supply networks. The departure of more than 300 prominent Western corporations, along with the closure of packaging and manufacturing plants in Ukraine and Russia, has impeded the supply of critical raw materials for biopolymer manufacture.

Petrochemical facilities such as Karpatneftekhim, Ukraine's largest PET plant, were compelled to cease operations due to the imposition of martial law, while glass and packaging manufacturers like Vetropack suspended output, exacerbating supply chain difficulties. The uncertainty regarding the war's longevity, coupled with manufacturing delays, has compelled some enterprises to either diminish or entirely halt activities in the region.

The extensive closures and damage to infrastructure, including the loss of Vetropack's glass factory in Kyiv, have resulted in an uncertain business environment. This has compelled biopolymer manufacturers to explore alternate production centers and reorganize supply chains, especially in Europe and Asia-Pacific, to alleviate the effects on production and distribution.
