生分解性プラスチックの2030年までの市場予測- 製品別、用途別、地域別の世界分析

Stratistics MRCによると、世界の生分解性プラスチック市場は2023年に52億4,000万米ドルを占め、2030年には113億8,000万米ドルに達すると予測され、予測期間中のCAGRは11.7%です。

植物、藻類、微生物などの再生可能資源から作られるプラスチックは、生分解性プラスチック、堆肥化可能プラスチック、環境に優しいプラスチックとして知られています。化石燃料から作られる従来のプラスチックとは対照的に、生分解性プラスチックは生物学的プロセスを通じて自然に分解し、水、二酸化炭素、バイオマスといった無害な要素に変えることができます。この性質により、包装、農業、自動車、消費財など、さまざまな用途に非常に適しています。

欧州環境庁が2021年1月に発表したデータによると、回答者の40％近くが、今後より持続可能な行動を取る予定があると答えています。

市場力学：

促進要因

生分解性プラスチックに対する消費者の嗜好の高まり

生分解性プラスチックの世界の需要は、使い捨ての使い捨てプラスチックの乱用と、それらが環境や人体に及ぼす有害な影響によって牽引されています。石油から作られるプラスチックは、分解に数十年を要し、埋立地に埋め立てられてしまうため、喫緊の環境問題のひとつとなっています。生分解性プラスチックは環境に吸収され、すぐに分解されます。また、生分解性プラスチックは従来のプラスチックよりも分解が早いです。その結果、環境への関心の高まりが生分解性プラスチック市場の活性化につながると予想されます。

阻害要因

従来のプラスチックより割高

生分解性プラスチックは従来のポリマーに比べて価格が高いことが、市場の成長を制約しています。生分解性プラスチックの原料には、トウモロコシのデンプンやサトウキビのような植物由来の材料がよく使われます。従来のプラスチックに使用される化石燃料の抽出と精製に比べ、これらの再生可能資源の生産・加工コストは高くつく可能性があります。従来のプラスチックと比べて、生分解性プラスチックの生産には余分な工程や特殊な機械が必要になる場合があります。そのため生産コストが上昇し、製造工程全体の価格が上昇する可能性があります。

機会：

新技術の利用拡大

生分解性プラスチックの生産に新技術が続々と採用されているため、将来は豊富な投資機会がもたらされると予想されます。現在、抗菌技術が生分解性材料の生産に取り入れられ、保存期間の長い材料を作り出し、包装商品、特に食品の保存期間を長くしています。さらに、抗菌包装は微生物の増殖を止め、化学的・微生物学的な食品の安全性を保証するためにも使われています。

脅威

石油価格の変動

プラスチックのコストは石油価格の変動に影響されます。長期的には難しいです。需要と供給の力学により、石油価格は下落する可能性があります。その結果、従来のプラスチックのコストが下がり、生分解性プラスチックの需要が妨げられる可能性があります。

COVID-19影響：

世界各地でのサプライチェーンや生産サービスの混乱により、COVID-19の大流行は生分解性プラスチックの生産に世界的に悪影響を及ぼしました。さらに、パンデミックの間、何百万人もの人々が手袋、マスク、除菌ボトル、エプロンなどの使い捨てプラスチック製品を廃棄し、大量のプラスチック廃棄物を生み出しました。このような要因から、PPEやその他の製品における生分解性プラスチックの使用が増加しています。生分解性プラスチックの市場動向も、コロナウィルスのパンデミック後、企業展開により順調に成長すると予想されます。

予測期間中は、包装分野が最大になると予想される：

2022年に生分解性プラスチックの最大市場シェアを占めたのは包装分野であり、予測期間中もこのポジションを維持すると予想されます。生分解性プラスチックは硬質包装と軟質包装の両方で利用されており、箱、ラップ、カップ、皿のような食品包装材料において、より多くの従来型プラスチックが置き換えられるにつれて拡大しています。さらに、医療分野における生分解性プラスチックの新たな用途として、薬剤のカプセル化や外科手術が一般的になりつつあります。

ポリ乳酸（PLA）セグメントは、予測期間中に最も高いCAGRが見込まれる：

予測期間中、PLA分野は急成長が見込まれます。PLAは再生可能な原料でできており、従来のプラスチックよりも温室効果ガスの排出が少ないため、農業や包装を含むさまざまな産業で使用されるようになってきています。これらの要因が、今後数年間の市場成長を促進すると予想されます。

最大のシェアを持つ地域：

包装、農業、消費財、繊維など様々な最終用途産業で生分解性プラスチックの需要が高まっているため、欧州が世界市場で最大の売上シェアを占めると予想されます。欧州委員会は、バイオプラスチックがバイオエコノミーにおいて重要な役割を果たしており、循環型経済への移行を早める可能性があることを認めています。さらに、予測期間中、同地域の市場成長は、循環型バイオエコノミーの発展のための生分解性プラスチックの使用に関するイニシアティブの高まり、政策の確立、補助金の利用可能性によって後押しされると予想されます。

CAGRが最も高い地域：

包装産業における生分解性プラスチックの使用が増加していることから、アジア太平洋地域は予測期間中に高い成長率を記録すると予想されます。同地域は原料の購入に便利で、手頃な労働力があり、費用対効果の高い原料が入手できるため、欧州や米国で操業している企業がアジア太平洋に製造拠点を移しつつあり、同地域の市場を押し上げています。

主な発展：

2023年6月、アルケマはPIアドバンストマテリアルズの支配的株式を取得し、高性能ポリマーの品揃えを拡大。グレンウッド・プライベート・エクイティが保有する韓国の上場企業PIアドバンストマテリアルズ（PIAM）の株式54％を、企業価値7億2800万ユーロで取得することを提案。同社はアルケマの会計に完全に連結されます。

2022年12月、フューテロはノルマンディーに欧州初の垂直統合型バイオリファイナリーを設立し、PLAの生産とリサイクルを行う予定です。2021年に中国に初のPLA（ポリ乳酸）工場を建設したのに続き、フューテロは、ルーアンとル・アーヴルの間のセーヌ川軸に位置するコー・セーヌ地区（サン＝ジャン＝ド＝フォルルヴィル市）のポルト・ジェローム工業・港湾地域に、新しい完全統合型バイオリファイナリーを設立することを目標としています。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Biodegradable Plastics Market is accounted for $5.24 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $11.38 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period. Plastics made from renewable resources like plants, algae, or microorganisms are known as biodegradable plastics, compostable plastics, or eco-friendly plastics. Biodegradable plastics, as opposed to conventional plastics made from fossil fuels, can decompose naturally through biological processes into harmless elements like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. Due to this quality, they are very desirable for a variety of applications, including packaging, agriculture, automotive, and consumer goods.

According to data published by the European Environment Agency in January 2021, nearly 40% of respondents said they planned to adopt more sustainable behavior in the future.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing consumer preference for biodegradable plastics

Global demand for biodegradable plastics is being driven by the overuse of disposable single-use plastics and their detrimental effects on the environment and human health. Being made of petroleum, plastics take decades to degrade and end up in landfills, making them one of the most urgent environmental concerns. Biodegradable plastics are absorbed into the environment and break down quickly. Biodegradable plastics also decompose more quickly than conventional plastics. As a result, growing environmental concerns are anticipated to fuel the market for biodegradable plastics.

Restraint:

Comparatively more expensive than conventional plastics

The market's growth is constrained by biodegradable plastics' higher price compared to traditional polymers. Plant-based materials, like corn starch or sugarcane, are frequently used as the raw materials for biodegradable plastics. In comparison to the extraction and refinement of fossil fuels used in conventional plastics, the production and processing costs of these renewable resources can be higher. In comparison to conventional plastics, the production of biodegradable plastics may require extra steps or specialized machinery. This may raise production costs and drive up the price of the manufacturing process as a whole.

Opportunity:

Increasing use of new technologies

Future years are expected to bring about a wealth of investment opportunities due to the continuous adoption of new technologies in the production of biodegradable plastics. Antimicrobial technology is now being incorporated into the production of biodegradable materials to create materials with longer shelf lives and to prolong the preservation of packaged goods, particularly food items. Additionally, antimicrobial packaging is used to stop microbial growth and guarantee chemical and microbiological food safety.

Threat:

Fluctuating oil prices

The cost of plastics is influenced by changes in oil prices. In the long term, this would be difficult. With the dynamics of supply and demand, oil prices may decrease. This may lead to a drop in the cost of traditional plastics, which would hinder the demand for biodegradable plastics.

COVID-19 Impact:

Due to disruptions in supply chains and production services around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the production of biodegradable plastics globally. Additionally, millions of people discarded single-use plastic items like gloves, masks, sanitizer bottles, and aprons during the pandemic, producing a significant amount of plastic waste. The use of biodegradable plastics in PPE and other products has increased as a result of this factor. The market trend for biodegradable plastics is also anticipated to grow favorably following the coronavirus pandemic due to company developments.

The packaging segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period:

Packaging accounted for the largest market share of biodegradable plastics in 2022 and is anticipated to continue to hold this position throughout the forecast period. It is utilized in both rigid and flexible packaging and is expanding as more and more conventional plastics are being replaced in food packaging materials like boxes, wraps, cups, and plates. In addition, new uses for biodegradable plastics in the medical field are becoming more common for drug encapsulation and surgical procedures.

The polylactic acid (PLA) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period:

Over the forecast period, the PLA segment is anticipated to grow rapidly. Because it is made of renewable raw materials and emits fewer greenhouse gases than traditional plastics, PLA is increasingly used in a variety of industries, including agriculture and packaging. These factors are anticipated to fuel market growth over the upcoming years.

Region with largest share:

Because of the rising demand for biodegradable plastics across a variety of end-use industries, including packaging, agriculture, consumer goods, and textiles, Europe is anticipated to hold the largest revenue share in the global market. The European Commission acknowledged that bioplastics play a crucial role in the bioeconomy and have the potential to hasten the transition to a circular economy. Furthermore, during the forecast period, market growth in the region is anticipated to be boosted by rising initiatives, policy establishment, and the availability of subsidies regarding the use of biodegradable plastics for the development of a circular bioeconomy.

Region with highest CAGR:

Due to the growing use of biodegradable plastics in the packaging industry, Asia Pacific is anticipated to post a strong growth rate during the forecast period. Due to the region's convenient access to feedstock purchases, affordable labor, and availability of cost-effective raw materials, businesses operating in Europe and the United States are moving their manufacturing operations to Asia-Pacific, which is boosting the region's market.
