Global Biopolymers Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2030

Análisis y tamaño del mercado de biopolímeros

Solidez cálida, flexibilidad, resistencia a los gases, al agua, protección contra materiales sintéticos, biocompatibilidad y biodegradabilidad son características de los biopolímeros que se requieren principalmente en el sector de productos de consumo. Los muebles hechos de biopolímeros incluyen sillas, mesas, estantes, despensas y otras piezas, así como productos de cuidado personal como lápices labiales, servilletas limpias, polvos compactos y lociones.

Data Bridge Market Research analiza que el mercado mundial de biopolímeros, que era de 7.760 millones de dólares en 2022, se disparará hasta los 10.700 millones de dólares en 2030, y se espera que experimente una CAGR del 4,1% durante el período de pronóstico. Se espera que los "poliésteres biodegradables" dominen el segmento de tipos del mercado de biopolímeros debido a que a menudo tienen puntos de fusión bajos, temperaturas de transición vítrea bajas y poca estabilidad hidrolítica, lo que significa que cuando se exponen a la humedad, absorberán una cantidad moderada a alta de agua.

Además de la información sobre escenarios de mercado como valor de mercado, tasa de crecimiento, segmentación, cobertura geográfica y actores principales, los informes de mercado seleccionados por Data Bridge Market Research también incluyen un análisis profundo de expertos, producción y capacidad por empresa representada geográficamente, diseños de red de distribuidores y socios, análisis detallado y actualizado de tendencias de precios y análisis de déficit de la cadena de suministro y la demanda.

Alcance y segmentación del mercado de biopolímeros

Definición de mercado

Los biopolímeros son materiales sintéticos que se fabrican a partir de materias primas como el maíz, la caña de azúcar, la madera en pie y los restos de madera. A diferencia de los polímeros o plásticos convencionales, que contribuyen a la contaminación y al calentamiento global, los biopolímeros son biodegradables por naturaleza. Se prevé que el uso de polímeros de origen biológico se haga más popular. Los plásticos tradicionales fabricados a partir del petróleo se consideran menos sostenibles que los biopolímeros, ya que no pueden dañar el medio ambiente y pueden descomponerse mediante procesos naturales. Los sectores alimentario, farmacéutico y biomédico son solo algunos de los que utilizan biopolímeros. En la industria biomédica, los biopolímeros son muy buscados debido a sus excepcionales propiedades curativas. Todo tipo de heridas se benefician del uso de biopolímeros en su proceso de curación.

Dinámica del mercado de biopolímeros

Conductores

• La creciente comprensión del daño que causan los plásticos tradicionales

El uso de biopolímeros ha dado lugar a un movimiento en favor de los mismos como resultado de la creciente conciencia de los efectos nocivos de los plásticos tradicionales sobre el medio ambiente. Los plásticos tradicionales fabricados a partir de productos petroquímicos contienen compuestos peligrosos que pueden filtrarse en los alimentos y las bebidas y provocar diversos problemas de salud. Por el contrario, como los biopolímeros se crean a partir de componentes naturales y seguros, no existe la posibilidad de exposición a sustancias peligrosas. El mercado de los biopolímeros se está expandiendo como resultado de la demanda comercial y de los consumidores de productos más seguros y saludables en lugar de los plásticos convencionales.

Los consumidores esperan productos más ecológicos a medida que toman conciencia de su huella de carbono. Los gobiernos de todo el mundo están trabajando para reducir los residuos plásticos prohibiendo los plásticos de un solo uso e impulsando el uso de alternativas de embalaje respetuosas con el medio ambiente. Las predicciones futuras predicen que esta tendencia continuará a medida que las empresas y los consumidores sean cada vez más conscientes de los efectos ambientales negativos de los plásticos convencionales derivados de los productos petroquímicos .

• Un cambio en la preferencia de los consumidores hacia los plásticos biodegradables

Along with efforts to cut back on the use of conventional, non-biodegradable plastics and increase awareness of sustainable plastic alternatives, the market for bioplastics is growing. Since conventional plastics are mostly composed of petroleum and take decades to decompose, they can spend a lot of time in landfills. Microorganisms break down biodegradable polymers at a far quicker pace than they do traditional plastics. Biodegradable plastics may be absorbed back into the natural system and degrade more quickly when they are disposed of. As a consequence of increased consumer awareness, more people are moving to biopolymers.

Opportunities

• Newer applications are being developed in the packaging and agriculture sectors.

Similar to conventional polymers, bio-based polymers have a wide range of uses. The market for bio-based polymers is anticipated to see tremendous development prospects in applications for consumer products due to the government's increased focus on sustainability and supportive green procurement rules.  It is also anticipated that the packaging application would expand significantly. There are several uses for biodegradable mulch films in the agricultural sector. Trays, cutlery, and cups are only a few examples of the significant and highly demanding applications of bio-based polymer in the food packaging industry.

Restraints/Challenges

• Biopolymers are more expensive than conventional polymers.

The expansion of the market in various application segments is constrained by the higher cost of bioplastics compared to conventional polymers. The cost of producing bio-based polymers is typically 20–100% more expensive than that of conventional polymers. The main reason for this is that bio-based polymers have high polymerization costs since the vast majority of their cycles are still in their infancy and have not yet reached economies of scale. PHAs, for example, have high production costs, poor yields, and limited availability while having several uses in fasteners, made papers, therapeutic devices, electronic components, food packaging, and agribusiness. Even while PLAs are more expensive than PE and PP made from oil, they have a lower cost of production than PHAs. Generally speaking, bio-based products are still in the development stage and have not yet reached the same level of marketing as their petrochemical counterparts, which have been expanding swiftly for more than 50 years.
