Global Bio-based Chemicals Market Overview


Bio-based Chemicals Market Size was valued at USD 86.75 Billion in 2022. The Bio-based Chemicals industry is projected to grow from USD 96.39 Billion in 2023 to USD 163.92 Billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.30% during the forecast period (2023 - 2030)Bio-based chemicals are chemical products that are derived from renewable biological resources, such as plants, crops, agricultural waste, or microorganisms. These chemicals are often produced through processes such as fermentation, enzymatic conversion, or other biochemical processes that convert biomass into useful chemical products. Bio-based chemicals can be used as alternatives to traditional petroleum-based chemicals and can have a lower environmental impact, as they typically have a smaller carbon footprint and are produced from renewable resources. Instances of bio-based chemicals include biofuels, bioplastics, bio-based solvents, and bio-based polymers.
