Vantage Market Research

Nov 22, 2022

In terms of revenue, the Global Plastic to Fuel Market is expected to reach USD 1088.9 Million by 2028, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 28.90% from 2022 to 2028.

Cleaner environments are driving up demand for waste-to-energy generation, which has fueled the market expansion. In addition, governments in various parts of the world are turning to energy production from plastic waste because of the rising volume of trash from households and businesses. In the coming years, the market should benefit from relaxed regulations and government support in the form of tax breaks and other financial incentives. However, the use of nonrenewable energy sources is becoming increasingly controversial, which should slow the market's expansion.

Market expansion is anticipated to be fueled by the rising demand for recycling services in industrialized nations, including the United States, Japan, the Netherlands, and Germany. In addition, companies like Chevron and BP have developed methods for using plastic trash as fuel to produce and generate their own energy.

Key Developments in the Industry

· Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) was a major driver of the growth of the US plastic-to-fuel market in 2019, contributing approximately US$85 million to the total market share.

· Investment management company Circulate Capital said in 2020 that it has invested US$19 million in four privately held Indian recycling businesses, including SrichakraPolyplast, Dalmia Polypro Industries, Deeya Panel Products, and Rapidue Technologies.

· By investing US$ 39 million in 2020, India's Circulate Capital Ocean Fund (CCOF) built the country's largest investment portfolio focused to combating ocean plastic pollution.

· Needa Green Energy Limited (NGEL) established a plastic-to-petroleum development facility in Guntur in 2020. In the year 2020, three technocrats created the system.

Market Dynamics

The need to generate energy from trash, growing environmental concerns, and increased demand from the recycling industry are some of the factors propelling the growth of the global plastic-to-fuel market. Additionally, the worldwide plastic fuel market share is increasing due to rising public awareness of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). For instance, according to data made public by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the economic and gas industries are mostly responsible for the greenhouse gases produced by human activity. Carbon dioxide accounted for 65% of the stake in the gas sector, while electricity and heat production made up 25% of the share in the economic sector. After COVID-19, the world's energy needs are anticipated to soar enormously, so the market for plastic fuel would experience significant growth.

The market's expansion, however, may be constrained by the high startup costs and low consumer awareness in emerging markets. A tonne of plastic bags currently costs more than 4,000 USD to recycle. Many individuals burn plastic or dispose of it in landfills to avoid these hefty expenditures. On the other hand, ongoing research and development to reduce the installation cost of a plant that converts plastic into fuel would encourage small and medium-sized businesses to enter the market, ultimately propelling it. In addition, advantageous government assistance in the form of tax breaks and subsidies will raise the market's profitability in the ensuing years.

Geographically, the market is anticipated to have the considerable market expansion, with the highest growth rate over the anticipated period.China, India, and Japan are predicted to have the highest demand for Plastic to Fuel. In the upcoming years, rising industrialization and urbanization in this region are anticipated to drive market expansion. Over the forecast period, the market expansion is anticipated to be fueled by favourablegovernment policies and regulations supporting renewable energy technologies' development.

This rise in energy consumption is being supported by an expanding population, particularly in China and India. The need for basic fuels such as power, transportation, and cooking fuel has been rising as the population has grown. In addition, these nations produce a remarkably large amount of plastic garbage. A plentiful supply of scrap plastic can be used to produce fuel. During the projected period, these factors are anticipated to propel the market.
