Bioplastic Packaging Market Information: by Type (Bio-PET, PLA, PBS, Bio-PP, and Others), Application (Plastic Bottles, Packaging, and Others), and Region - Forecast Till 2030

Bioplastic Packaging Market overview:

Packaging materials made by bioplastics could be processed with all traditional plastics-making technologies. Special machines are not required to generate these plastics. The processing parameter is adjusted fully based on the material used to make bioplastic. A broad range of materials suitable for high numbers and several applications has developed and improved within a short period, and currently, the quality of bioplastics for packaging material could be easily compared to that of already established traditional products. The bioplastic packaging market size is anticipated to reach USD 8,.20 million by the year 2030 and register a CAGR of 15.30% during the forecast period of 2030.

Bioplastic packaging material helps to increase the consumption time of the product. This packaging has a unique property called antimicrobial coating which helps the product to stay longer with good quality. This is highly demandable because of its benefits and nature. The market trend is high due to its demand. 

COVID 19 Analysis:

Among the coronavirus pandemic, the increasing rise of the bioplastic packaging market has been extremely dwarfed. The supply chain disturbance, raw material cost, and the global lockdown have highly affected the increasing market growth before the outbreak of the pandemic strike.

Additionally, changes in customer preference during the pandemic need an action regarding the assumption of bioplastics for one-use food material packaging. Polylactide is expected to evident considerable growth for large production sustainability, performance proportional to petroleum type thermoplastics, and carbon-objective life cycle in the bioplastic packaging market survey throughout the forecast period. The COVID-19 crisis didn’t impact the market size and market trend of the bioplastic packaging market due to its demand and increasing growth.

Bioplastic Packaging Market Dynamics:

Market drivers:

The increasing assumption of bioplastic packaging solutions, because of their nature and benefits like eco-friendliness and renewable, biodegradable type, is a major factor that is expected to drive the extension of the market globally during the forecast period. Additionally, the increasing customer choice for green products across synthetic derivatives substance in chemicals is the other factor that is anticipated to drive the extension of the market growth.

In addition, increase R&D activities and capital funding from the manufacturer of food and beverage industries like PepsiCo and Coca-Cola company are other key factor that is expected to drive the evolvement of the market in the upcoming years. The bioplastic packaging market is an increasing assumption because of its biodegradable nature. The market trend of the bioplastic packaging is raised and the market share is also increased significantly because of its unavoidable demand.

Market opportunities:

Chemical producers have raised their investments in developing bio-oriented chemicals with the primary target of decreasing dependence on petroleum chemical feed merchandise, which is anticipated to rise the availability of raw elements for bioplastic packaging materials. The garment industry is expected to be a profitable application for the market of bioplastic packaging in the credit of raising awareness about the location of environmental security practices.

The increased usage of bioplastic packaging by the consumers will offer massive extended opportunities, the cost is very high regarding the production of bio-based plastic packaging materials. The market opportunities provide a mutual benefit to the seller as well as the consumer. Due to its demand and requirement, the market size is rising gradually. The fast-growing market of bioplastic packaging increases the value of a market share.

Market restraints:

Increasing utilization of agro-based components especially raw materials is majorly hindering the rise of the bioplastic packaging market. Bioplastic packaging is very expensive, which is the main factor affecting the growth of the bioplastic packaging market.

Even though bioplastic is renewable and biodegradable, it couldn’t degrade as like organic materials. The molecular structure of the bioplastic is very complicated and is not much attractive as a normal plastic molecular structure. The physical attributes of plastics and the renewability, biodegradability of the bio-based components used in the manufacture of bioplastics leads to huge cost and this makes a buyer feel quite expensive.

Market challenges:

The high difficulty associated with the manufacture of bioplastic packaging products from the raw components of agro-based origin is expected to challenge the extension of the market. Raised crude oil & natural gas manufacturing in the Russia and Middle East firms leading to decrease oil prices is expected to have a contrary impact on the market of bioplastic packaging in the upcoming years.

The bioplastic materials users mistakenly recycle the material, which causes the pollution of air and water. The product made from bioplastic sometimes confuses the customer because they are renewable, they throw the waste into recycling baskets. They cause annoying to the waste management firms.

Cumulative growth analysis:

Plastic packaging is widely used in various levels of application like Fast Moving Consumer Goods, food and beverages, consumer goods, pharmaceutical industries, etc. This raised usage of plastic in the various application is accountable for increasing plastic pollution. Hence, recycling and renewable plastic are attractive which is very important for sustainability and innovation. Additionally, conventional plastic is anticipated to reach more cost-effective shortly with decreasing sources of raw material. The market size of bioplastic packaging was at USD 13.5 Billion in the year 2019 and is anticipated to reach USD 36.3 billion by the year 2027 and register a CAGR of 14.5% during the forecast period of 2027.

In the last couple of years, bioplastic has controlled plastic manufacturing companies over innovation for many resource materials, functionality, efficiency, and sustainability. The bioplastic packaging market trend is playing an important role to raise recycling goals and waste management facilities by replacing petroleum components with renewable component sources. Bioplastics are produced using sustainable plant-based sources which provide low toxicity, improved recyclability, and a large cycle of bio-degradability. These major factors are having a considerable impact on the raise of bioplastic packaging market growth.

Value chain analysis:

Stringent government rules and regulations against the usage of non-recyclable plastics are increasing the market growth of bioplastic packaging. For example, in the year 2008, the government of China launched a unique scheme to ban plastic covers and bags, they concentrate on bioplastic materials for packaging. The huge growth in the usage of liquid refreshments and innovative packaging solutions are anticipated to drive the bioplastic packaging market growth and market trend. 

In addition, rising awareness about renewable packaging among the customers and the enormous availability of unprocessed material in growing economies have an affirmative influence on the rise of the market growth. Contrarily the cost of bio-oriented materials is very high that may hinder the increasing growth of the bioplastic packaging market share. Additionally, high complications associated with the manufacture of bioplastic packaging products through agriculturally based unprocessed materials are anticipated to restrict the market growth.
