Market Trends
The fundamental driver of the worldwide biodegradable plastic business is consumer awareness of environmental issues and a preference for sustainable alternatives. As a result, businesses around the world are investing in research and development of sustainable manufacturing methods in order to meet consumer expectations while lowering their carbon footprints. In this case, biodegradable polymers are an environmentally friendly solution. Furthermore, countries all over the world are enacting tight rules and restrictions on the use of traditional plastics, thereby encouraging the use of biodegradable plastics. These characteristics are likely to give the biodegradable plastic sector a substantial boost.
Thailand has banned microbeads, cap seals, and oxo-degradable plastics, according to a World Economic Forum article published in January 2020. Furthermore, single-use plastic items such as cups, plates, and “single-use” cotton buds have been outlawed throughout the region by France. Over the projected period, such initiatives are expected to have a substantial impact on market growth. The Asia Pacific region is estimated to account for a sizable portion of the global biodegradable plastic market. This increase can be linked to the region’s high biodegradable plastics production and development capabilities. According to data published by European Bioplastics, Asia produced 46 percent of the world’s biodegradable plastics in 2020.
