Global market for bioplastics to reach to 6 million metric tons by 2019



Bioplastics is recorded to be one of the fastest-growing materials sector in the past decade. The main driver of this growth is an interest in reducing use of petroleum as a feedstock because of its contribution to climate change, pricing volatility and its occasional role as a political weapon.

Another reason is Chinese government’s growing support for agricultural development in areas such as bioplastics as a way to prop up the standard of living in the country’s rural regions. Major indigenous producers of starch plastics and other types of bioplastics are rapidly emerging, changing the shape of the marketplace. With Asia and South America rapidly emerging as bioplastic-producing powerhouses, this market is estimated to show significant growth in the foreseeable future.

BCC Research presents a comprehensive analysis of the global market for bioplastics in its report, Global Markets and Technologies for Bioplastics. According to this report, the global demand for bioplastics amounted to 1.1 million metric tons in 2013. This is expected to reach 1.4 million metric tons in 2014 and about 6 million metric tons in 2019 registering a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.7% from 2014 to 2019.
