The global bioplastic industry is expected to witness significant growth and
reach an estimated $7.02 billion by 2018. The major forces that are driving
bioplastic market are high consumer acceptance, danger posed by climate
change, increasing price of fossil materials, and dependence on fossil
resources.
Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has
conducted a detailed analysis on the bioplastic industry and presents its
findings in "Global Bioplastic Industry 2013-2018: Trend, Forecast, and
Opportunity Analysis". The wide variety of bioplastic applications under
development is a positive factor for growth of bioplastic which also helps to
capture market share from competing materials; huge potential lies within the
fields of consumer electronics and automotive. On account of new technological
developments, bioplastics are moving out of the niche and entering the mass
market. Although full market penetration is just beginning, bioplastic
materials and products are multiplying continuously. Multinational brand
owners such as PepsiCo and Tetra Pak in the packaging market or Ford,
Mercedes, Volkswagen, and Toyota in the automotive market have launched or
integrated bioplastic products.
Lucintel highlights some of the major challenges likely to be faced by the
industry. Bioplastics are generally two to three times more expensive than the
conventional plastics. Currently, bioplastic resins cost at least twice as
much as petro plastic resins. Price considerations will be the primary
determinant for the success of bioplastic market. It is expected that rising
petroleum costs will allow some bioplastic resins to be able to achieve price
parity with conventional plastics. As crops are used for bioplastic
manufacturing, use of hazardous chemicals such as pesticides in land for
agriculture production is much common in practice. The use of arable land and
edible crops to produce bioplastics is increasingly perceived as an
undesirable development that could increase food prices and contribute to food
shortages.
The report also describes some of the key industry drivers. Life cycle
analysis demonstrates that bioplastics can reduce CO2 emissions by 30%-70% as
compared to conventional plastics. This shows a significant reduction in
hazardous waste that is caused by oil-derived plastics. Global business is now
turning to bio-plastics as governments demand cleaner alternatives to
petroleum-based technologies and their reckless emission of greenhouse gas
CO2. One metric ton of bioplastics generates between 0.8 and 3.2 fewer metric
tons of carbon dioxide as compared to one metric ton of petroleum-based
plastics.
Bioplastics are demonstrating impressive growth rates. The strong growth makes
way for increasing demand for sustainable solutions in the bioplastic market.
Eventually, bioplastics have reached an established position in the number of
application sectors from the packaging market to the electronics sector and
the automotive industry. Europe and North America remain hot destinations for
research and development; they are also important as sales markets.
