2030 年生物分解性塑膠市場預測:按原料、類型、最終用戶和地區進行的全球分析Biodegradable Plastics Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Feedstock (Bacteria-based, Cellulose-based and Other Feedstocks), Type (Bio-based and Bio and Fossil-based Biodegradable), End User and By Geography |
根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據,2024 年全球生物分解性塑膠市場價值為 58.5 億美元,預計到 2030 年將達到 113.7 億美元,預測期內複合年成長率為 11.7%。
由植物、藻類、微生物等可再生資源製成的塑膠稱為生物分解性塑膠、可堆肥塑膠和環保塑膠。與石化燃料製成的傳統塑膠相比,可生物分解性塑膠可以透過生物過程自然分解並轉化為無害元素,例如水、二氧化碳和生質能。這項特性使其非常適合各種應用,包括包裝、農業、汽車和消費品。
根據印度品牌股權基金會(IBEF)預測,到2025年,印度電子製造業的產值預計將達到5,200億美元。
消費者對生物分解性塑膠的偏好日益成長
全球對生物分解性塑膠的需求是由一次性塑膠的過度使用及其對環境和人類健康的負面影響所推動的。由石油製成的塑膠需要數十年的時間才能分解並掩埋進入垃圾掩埋場,使其成為最緊迫的環境問題之一。生物分解性塑膠被環境吸收並迅速分解。生物分解性塑膠的分解速度也比傳統塑膠更快。因此,日益成長的環境問題預計將重振生物分解性塑膠市場。
比傳統塑膠相對昂貴
與傳統聚合物相比,生物分解性塑膠的價格較高,限制了市場成長。玉米澱粉和甘蔗等植物來源材料經常用作可生物分解性塑膠的原料。與用於製造傳統塑膠的石化燃料的提取和精製相比,這些可可再生資源的生產和加工成本可能很高。與傳統塑膠相比,生產生物分解性塑膠可能需要額外的步驟和專用機械。這會增加生產成本並提高整個製造過程的價格。
增加新技術的使用
生物分解性塑膠生產中不斷採用新技術預計將在未來提供豐富的投資機會。抗菌技術現在正被納入生物分解性材料的生產中,以製造長保存期限的材料,特別是延長食品等包裝商品的保存期限。此外,抗菌包裝也用於阻止微生物的生長,確保化學和微生物食品安全。
石油價格波動
塑膠的成本受到石油價格波動的影響。從長遠來看,這被認為是困難的。由於供需動態,油價可能會下跌。因此,傳統塑膠的成本將會下降,可能會阻礙對生物分解性塑膠的需求。
由於全球供應鏈和生產服務受到干擾,COVID-19 大流行對全球生物分解性塑膠的生產產生了負面影響。此外,在大流行期間,數百萬人扔掉了手套、口罩、消毒瓶和圍裙等一次性塑膠製品,產生了大量的塑膠廢棄物。這些因素正在增加生物分解性塑膠在個人防護裝備和其他產品中的使用。由於冠狀病毒大流行後的企業部署,生物分解性塑膠市場趨勢預計也將出現良好成長。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Biodegradable Plastics Market is accounted for $5.85 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $11.37 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period. Plastics made from renewable resources like plants, algae, or microorganisms are known as biodegradable plastics, compostable plastics, or eco-friendly plastics. Biodegradable plastics, as opposed to conventional plastics made from fossil fuels, can decompose naturally through biological processes into harmless elements like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. Due to this quality, they are very desirable for a variety of applications, including packaging, agriculture, automotive, and consumer goods.
According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the electronics manufacturing industry in India is projected to reach US$520 billion by 2025.
Increasing consumer preference for biodegradable plastics
Global demand for biodegradable plastics is being driven by the overuse of disposable single-use plastics and their detrimental effects on the environment and human health. Being made of petroleum, plastics take decades to degrade and end up in landfills, making them one of the most urgent environmental concerns. Biodegradable plastics are absorbed into the environment and break down quickly. Biodegradable plastics also decompose more quickly than conventional plastics. As a result, growing environmental concerns are anticipated to fuel the market for biodegradable plastics.
Comparatively more expensive than conventional plastics
The market's growth is constrained by biodegradable plastics' higher price compared to traditional polymers. Plant-based materials, like corn starch or sugarcane, are frequently used as the raw materials for biodegradable plastics. In comparison to the extraction and refinement of fossil fuels used in conventional plastics, the production and processing costs of these renewable resources can be higher. In comparison to conventional plastics, the production of biodegradable plastics may require extra steps or specialized machinery. This may raise production costs and drive up the price of the manufacturing process as a whole.
Increasing use of new technologies
Future years are expected to bring about a wealth of investment opportunities due to the continuous adoption of new technologies in the production of biodegradable plastics. Antimicrobial technology is now being incorporated into the production of biodegradable materials to create materials with longer shelf lives and to prolong the preservation of packaged goods, particularly food items. Additionally, antimicrobial packaging is used to stop microbial growth and guarantee chemical and microbiological food safety.
Fluctuating oil prices
The cost of plastics is influenced by changes in oil prices. In the long term, this would be difficult. With the dynamics of supply and demand, oil prices may decrease. This may lead to a drop in the cost of traditional plastics, which would hinder the demand for biodegradable plastics.
Due to disruptions in supply chains and production services around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the production of biodegradable plastics globally. Additionally, millions of people discarded single-use plastic items like gloves, masks, sanitizer bottles, and aprons during the pandemic, producing a significant amount of plastic waste. The use of biodegradable plastics in PPE and other products has increased as a result of this factor. The market trend for biodegradable plastics is also anticipated to grow favourably following the corona virus pandemic due to company developments.
