全球可分解生質塑膠市場:預測(2024-2029)Degradable Bioplastics Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
預計2024年至2029年全球可分解生質塑膠市場規模將以8.5%的複合年成長率成長。
可分解生質塑膠是一種由植物、藻類、細菌等可再生生質能資源製成的生物分解性塑膠。與可在環境中保留數百年的普通塑膠不同,生物分解性的生質塑膠會隨著時間的推移,透過微生物分解和堆肥等生物過程自然分解。可分解生質塑膠包括生物分解性塑膠和可生物分解成更簡單化合物的氧化可分解塑膠。生物分解性的生質塑膠變成水和二氧化碳,而氧化的可分解塑膠則分解成小塑膠片。
可分解的生質塑膠聚合物可以從纖維素、澱粉、膠原蛋白、酪蛋白和三酸甘油酯等產品中獲得。它們的大規模使用不僅有助於節約石油、天然氣和焦煤等不可再生資源,而且不涉及廢棄物處理的相關問題。此外,可分解塑膠在光和氧氣存在下自然溶解。
新材料科學公司 AlGenesis Corporation 和加州大學聖地牙哥分校發表了一篇論文,對於應對 2024 年即將到來的微塑膠污染危機至關重要。該論文重點關注生物基熱塑性聚氨酯生產的微塑膠的快速生物分解,並發表在《自然集團科學報告》。此外,源自可再生資源且可分解的生質塑膠被稱為生物分解性的生質塑膠,這是一種環保產品,可以解決塑膠使用和環境影響問題。這是響應世界日益成長的永續解決方案呼聲的重要一步。
包裝是一門科學和工程學科,對製藥、快餐和電子等主要行業有貢獻。因此,它涵蓋了經濟中所有形式的產品,目前是繼食品和能源產業之後的世界第三大產業。
由於人們對塑膠產品的使用及其對環境的影響的認知不斷提高,生物基包裝越來越受歡迎。由於環境問題,特別是客戶對永續包裝的擔憂,這些材料被應用於生產可生物分解類型的普通塑膠。 FlexSea 成立於 Imperial,首輪投資了 300 萬英鎊的股權和津貼。這筆資金籌措將使基於海藻衍生聚合物的永續包裝解決方案商業化。
此外,可分解生質塑膠提供的許多永續特性符合監管和業務永續性目標,例如生物分解性的概念和最大限度地減少客戶對化石產品的需求。可分解生質塑膠是食品和飲料包裝以及美容產品包裝等各種包裝解決方案的理想選擇。為了解決塑膠使用問題,歐盟委員會提出了生物基塑膠的概念,並制定了生物分解性和可堆肥塑膠的監管、標籤和使用。這不僅體現在塑膠政策中,也體現在歐洲綠色新政循環經濟行動計畫中。
可生物生物分解性的生質塑膠,例如聚乳酸-乙醇酸 (PLGA)、PLA 和聚己內酯 PCL,生物分解,因此被用於醫療應用,包括組織工程。生質塑膠用於人體內的生物學目的。因此,生質塑膠往往要求可生物分解性且無毒。
隨著醫療和製藥業的成長,可分解生質塑膠市場也有望成長。根據印度品牌資產基金會預測,到2030年,印度醫藥產業整體市場規模預計將達到1,300億美元,到2047年將達到4,500億美元。此外,到25會計年度,國內製藥業務預計將達到570億美元,營業利潤率預計將提高100-150個基點。印度是美國以外擁有數量最多的符合 USFDA 要求的製藥廠,擁有 2,000 多個經 WHO-GMP核准的工廠,可滿足 150 多個國家和超過 10,500 個生產工廠的需求。
在醫療和製藥領域,監管壓力、尋求更環保的解決方案以及技術發展共同推動了對生物分解性聚合物的需求。隨著人們越來越關注減少環境影響和提高患者安全,生物分解性的生質塑膠為各種應用提供了理想的解決方案,包括醫療設備、藥物輸送系統和包裝行業。
除此之外,據印度投資局稱,包裝是印度規模最大、成長最快的行業之一,在全球排名第五。據印度包裝工業協會 (PIAI) 稱,該行業的複合年成長率為 22% 至 25%。在過去的幾年裡,包裝產業為製造業的創新做出了巨大貢獻,為農業和快速消費品等其他產業付加了價值。
此外,該地區政府越來越關注減少塑膠廢棄物和支持永續行為,鼓勵採用生物分解性的生質塑膠。例如,印度政府已經認知到該行業的潛力,並頒布了一系列措施進一步促進該行業的創新,包括禁止一次性塑膠的立法、食品包裝與利潤掛鉤的稅收優惠以及核准國家包裝計劃已實施。因此,越來越多的材料技術研究型公司正在開發新型永續包裝材料。
除此之外,對永續性的興趣日益濃厚也是該地區的主要市場驅動力。例如,聯合國糧農組織表示,在2021年至2025年「十四五」發展計畫中,中國將走創新、合作、綠色、開放、共用的發展之路,全面且永續地改善人民生活。征程,以提高品質、實現高品質發展為目標。這些因素結合在一起,使亞太地區在全球可分解生質塑膠市場中佔據關鍵地位,推動成長和創新。
The global degradable bioplastics market is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5% between the period 2024 and 2029.
Degradable bioplastics are a type of biodegradable plastic made from renewable biomass sources such as plants, algae, and bacteria. Unlike typical plastics, which may remain in the environment for hundreds of years, biodegradable bioplastics degrade spontaneously over time by biological processes such as microbial decomposition or composting. Degradable bioplastics include biodegradable and oxy-degradable plastics that can bio-degrade into simpler compounds. Biodegradable bioplastics turn into water and carbon dioxide whereas oxo-degradable bioplastics break down into small plastic pieces.
Degradable bioplastic polymers can be derived from products such as cellulose, starch, collagen, casein, triglycerides, etc. Large-scale use of these would not only help in the conservation of non-renewable sources like Petroleum, natural gas, and coking coal but also would not involve any problem associated with waste disposal. Moreover, bio-degradable plastics dissolve in the presence of light and oxygen naturally.
Algenesis Corporation, a novel material science company, and UC San Diego published the paper which is deemed crucial to combat the impending microplastic pollution crisis in 2024. This paper focused on the rapid biodegradation of microplastics generated from bio-based thermoplastic polyurethane and was published in the Scientific Reports from the Nature Group. Furthermore, the bioplastics that are derived from renewable resources and can degrade are known as biodegradable bioplastics and they can be described as an environmentally friendly product that provides the solution to the problem of plastic use and their impact on the environment. This is an imperative step towards satisfying the growing global call for sustainable solutions.
Packaging is a rising scientific and engineering subject that contributes successfully to key sectors such as pharmaceuticals, fast food, and electronics. It thus encompasses all forms of products within an economy, now making it the third largest industry in the world, after the food and energy industries.
Bio-based packaging is becoming more popular because of the growing consciousness of the utilization of plastic products and their effects on the environment. These materials are applied to produce bio-degradable kinds of common plastics because of customer concern about environmental issues, especially sustainable packaging. FlexSea, a firm founded at Imperial, invested £3 million initial round in stock and grants. The funding enables the business to commercialize a line of sustainable packaging solutions based on seaweed-derived polymers.
Furthermore, many sustainable characteristics provided by degradable bioplastics comply with the regulations and business sustainability goals including biodegradability conception and minimization of the customers' appetite towards fossil products. Degradable bioplastics are excellent for a variety of packaging solutions such as food and beverage packaging, and beauty products packaging. To address the issue of the use of plastics, the European Commission coined the concept of biobased plastics and their regulation, labeling, and use of biodegradable and compostable plastics. This is as evidenced by the European Green Deal circular economy action plan as well as the plastics policy.
Biodegradable bioplastics, such as poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), PLA, and Poly(ε-caprolactone) PCL, are employed in medical applications, including tissue engineering since they are biodegradable by fungus and bacteria in humans' bodies. Bioplastics are employed for biological purposes in human bodies. This often requires the bioplastics to be biodegradable and non-toxic.
With the growth in the medical and pharmaceutical industry, the degradable bioplastics market is also anticipated to grow. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, the overall market size of the Indian pharmaceutical industry is predicted to be US$ 130 billion by 2030 and US$ 450 billion by 2047. Additionally, the domestic pharmaceutical business is expected to reach US$ 57 billion by FY25, with an improvement in operating margins of 100-150 basis points. India has the highest number of USFDA-compliant pharmaceutical plants outside the US, with over 2,000 WHO-GMP-approved facilities serving demand from 150+ countries and 10,500+ manufacturing facilities.
In the medical and pharmaceutical domains, there has been a rising demand for biodegradable polymers due to a combination of regulatory pressure, the pursuit of greener solutions, and technological development. With increasing concerns about the reduction of environmental effects and improvement in the safety of the patients, biodegradable bioplastics present an ideal solution for a range of uses such as in medical apparatuses, drug delivery systems, and packaging industries.
In addition to this, as stated by Invest India, packaging is one of the biggest and fastest-growing industries in India and ranks fifth in the world. According to the Packaging Industry Association of India (PIAI), the industry is expanding at a CAGR of 22% to 25%. In the past few years, the packaging industry has been the key contributor to technology and innovation in the manufacturing sectors with value addition to other sectors like agriculture and FMCG.
Furthermore, the region's increased governmental focus on decreasing plastic waste and supporting sustainable behaviors promotes the adoption of biodegradable bioplastics. For instance, the Indian government apprehended the industry's potential and implemented a plethora of measures, including single-use plastic ban legislation, a profit-linked tax incentive for food packaging, and the approval of the National Packaging Initiative, to further encourage innovation in the sector. Owing to this, there has also been an increase in material technology research-based firms developing novel sustainable packaging materials.
Along with this, increasing focus on sustainability has also been a key market driver in the region. For instance, as per FAO, China is embarking on a new journey of rural revitalization during the 14th Five-Year Development Plan, which runs from 2021 to 2025, to pursue innovative, coordinated, green, open, and shared development, improving people's livelihoods comprehensively and sustainably, and achieving high-quality development. These factors together position the Asia-Pacific region as a key participant in the worldwide degradable bioplastics market, encouraging growth and innovation.
