Starch-based had a major share in Biodegradable Plastics Market
In 2021, the starch-based category dominated the global Biodegradable Plastics market and had more than 30% of the market volume and value share in the same year. This is primarily due to the high application of starch-based across industries such as packaging, automobiles, and agriculture among others. The different properties of starch-based categories such as elongation and tensile strength are projected to boost the category growth in the years to come.
Besides, the PLA category is presumed to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period. The PLA is manufactured from renewable resources, and also it is biodegradable and compostable. PLA is derived from tapioca roots, corn starch, chips, or sugarcane, or starch. The PLA is non-toxic and environment-friendly material due to which is highly used across industries such as packaging, automotive, and others. The major applications of PLA are drink cups, thermoformed products, containers, takeaway food trays, and planter boxes.
Packaging was the leader in the Biodegradable Plastics
The packaging category dominated the Biodegradable Plastics market in 2021. The category accounted for over 50% of the market revenue share in the same year. The Biodegradable Plastics is majorly used in flexible and rigid packaging. The increased replacement of traditional plastics by Biodegradable Plastics products in food & beverage packaging such as boxes, cups, wraps, and plates is the key reason for the category dominance. Moreover, the growing environmental regulations and change in the consumer lifestyle are some other key factors for the growth of the category over the forecast period. Besides, the agriculture category is expected to hold a significant share over the forecast period. This is due to the high use of biodegradable mulch film that ensures conservation of water in the soil along with suppression of weed growth and soil temperature maintenance for faster crop development.
