2. Biopolymers have found wide acceptance in various industries, on account of its distinguished
environment friendly properties. On the basis of application areas, the market of biopolymers
can be broadly segmented into packaging, bottles, fibers, agriculture, automotive, and others.
Though packaging and bottles are the major biopolymers applications and serve an array of
industries due to their various properties and performance advantages. Among major
biopolymers, PHA is an emerging market and its demand is growing at good pace.
North America is the biggest market for biopolymers, consuming more than one-third of the
total global demand for biopolymers. There is a lot of scope in the Asia-Pacific market due to
strong and increasing manufacturing and industrial base, which are the major end consumers
of biopolymers. Additionally, increasing need in Europe for high performance material for
fibers and injection molding is pushing the demand for PLA at a considerable pace. With the
emerging technological developments and innovations in Europe, the demand growth for
biopolymers may further augment at a high pace.

Biopolymers/Bioplastics Market – Trends &
Forecasts to 2018

3. Currently, the penetration of biopolymers is increasing in packaging, bottles, and
automotive at a very high pace around the globe. The key drivers for increasing demand of
biopolymers in all the sectors are biodegradability of these materials, and positive attitude
of government towards green procurement policies. On the other hand, increasing scope in
end user segment and under penetration in Asian countries are the major upcoming
opportunities in the market, and technological developments, and innovations are
identified as key strategies to capitalize on these opportunities.
