Bio-PE to Remain Largest Biopolymer Through 2018, According to MarketsandMarkets Report Published at MarketPublishers.com
London, UK (PRWEB) March 31, 2014 -- Owing to their outstanding eco friendly properties, biopolymers have found wide acceptance in a slew of industries. Packaging, followed by bottles, is the main application of biopolymers; it is anticipated to be worth around USD 1.723 billion by 2018. On the basis of types, bio-PE is the largest biopolymer; it is primarily utilised in packaging and automotive applications. PHA represents the fastest growing biopolymer type, poised to increase at a CAGR of 27.7% during 2014-2018. Global biopolymers consumption is forecast to be estimated at over 1.446 million tonnes by end-2018. Biodegradability is the key factor that is expected to drive the global biopolymer market in the years to arrive. The potential expansion of biopolymers packaging market is also set to assist in boosting the demand for biopolymers.
North America, led by the US, is the leading market for biopolymers, accounting for over one-third of the total biopolymer demand worldwide. Packaging, fibers, bottling, and automotive application segments are driving the demand for bio-PE, bio-PET, and PLA, which is in turn spurring the consumption of biopolymers in the region. Other drivers include growing concerns over the public’s health and safety, and a high level of penetration of the material in packaging and automotive industries in the region. The APAC market for biopolymers has huge potential too, due to a strong and expanding industrial and production base. In Europe, due to emerging technological advancements and innovations, the growth in biopolymers demand will likely further escalate at a fast rate.
