生物聚合物由木屑等植物來源原料和甘蔗和玉米等農產品製成,並設計為傳統聚合物的環保替代品。與造成污染和氣候變遷的傳統塑膠不同,生物聚合物可以自然生物分解。包括橡膠、黑色素、角質、角質、木栓質和木質素等材料。現在,先進技術被用來利用動物和人類排泄物、植物材料和農產品等廢棄物生產生質生質塑膠。越來越多的法律支持可生物分解性聚合物取代傳統塑膠並減少碳排放。包括福特汽車在內的幾家主要汽車製造商目前正在將生物聚合物融入其車輛中。生質塑膠是一種由砂糖、海帶和澱粉等生物基材料製成的熱塑性塑膠,屬於更廣泛的生物聚合物類別。多醣,是鎖狀或支化的聚合糖,例如澱粉、海藻酸和纖維素,也屬於這一類。生質塑膠的主要市場促進因素包括可再生原料的可用性、環境效益以及消費者對生物基產品的高度接受度。生質塑膠的生產是高效節能的,比傳統塑膠製造少使用 65% 的能源。此外,由於擔心合成塑膠滲入食品中,消費者對生質塑膠包裝的支持正在增加。促進生質塑膠永續性和生物分解性的全球法規和法律正在推動生質塑膠市場的成長。
Global biopolymers market was valued at USD 15.60 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 17.10 billion in 2023 to USD 35.60 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.60% in the forecast period (2024-2031).
Biopolymers, made from plant-based sources such as leftover wood, agricultural products like sugar cane and corn, are designed to be environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional polymers. Unlike traditional plastics, which contribute to pollution and climate change, biopolymers are naturally biodegradable. They include materials like rubbers, melanin, cutin, cutan, suberin, and lignin. Advanced technologies are now used to produce bio-plastics from waste products, including animal and human waste, plant materials, and agricultural by-products. Legislative support is growing for biodegradable polymers to replace conventional plastics and lower carbon emissions. Currently, a few major automotive manufacturers, such as Ford Motor Company, incorporate biopolymers into their vehicles. Bioplastics, a type of thermoplastic made from bio-based materials like sugar, kelp, and starch, are part of the broader category of biopolymers. Polysaccharides like starch, alginate, and cellulose, which are linear or branched polymeric sugars, also fall under this category. Key market drivers for bioplastics include the availability of renewable raw materials, environmental benefits, and high consumer acceptance of bio-based products. Bioplastic production is more energy-efficient, using 65% less energy compared to traditional plastic manufacturing. Additionally, due to concerns about synthetic plastics leaching into food, consumers are increasingly favoring bioplastic packaging. Supportive regulations and laws worldwide further promote the sustainability and biodegradability of bioplastics, driving revenue growth in the bioplastics market.

Drivers of the Global Biopolymers Market
The market for bioplastics is growing due to a shift in consumer preferences towards environmentally friendly alternatives. Increasing consumer awareness about sustainable plastic options is accelerating the move away from traditional, non-biodegradable plastics. Unlike conventional plastics, which are derived from oil and persist in landfills for extended periods, bioplastics break down more quickly and are integrated back into the environment. Biodegradable plastics decompose faster through microbial action, making them a preferable option for reducing long-term waste and environmental impact.
Restraints in the Global Biopolymers Market
The growth of bioplastics across various applications is limited by their higher cost compared to traditional polymers. Manufacturing bio-based polymers can be 20-100% more expensive than conventional plastics. This cost disparity is primarily due to the high polymerization expenses associated with bio-based polymers, as most production methods are still in the development phase and have not yet achieved economies of scale.
Market Trends of the Global Biopolymers Market
To replace traditional fossil-based plastic coatings in grease-resistant fast-food packaging, new environmentally friendly biomaterials are being developed. Conventional grease-resistant coatings often contain plastics and harmful substances such as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). In contrast, the new prototype coating meets the functional requirements of traditional packaging while providing an eco-friendly solution. This advancement represents a significant step toward creating a sustainable biopolymer for the future. The innovative coating uses natural polymers derived from seaweed as the biomass. These seaweed extracts are modified using a patented processing technology to produce functional biopolymer sheets suitable for slicing or coating onto various surfaces. The structure of these seaweed extracts closely resembles the natural fibers used in paper production. Advanced techniques enhance the grease resistance of the seaweed-based film while maintaining the biodegradability and recyclability of the coated paper.
