Pune, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/20/2018 -- Biodegradable polymers contain polymer chains that are hydrolytically or enzymatically cleaved, which results in soluble degradable products. Biodegradable polymer degrade quickly when compared to non-biodegradable polymers and there byproducts are eco-friendly such as CO2, water, methane and inorganic compounds or biomass that is easily scavenged by microorganisms. Lactic Acid and Polyhdroxyalkanoates are the well-known examples of biodegradable polymers used in many industries. Moreover, biodegradable polymers also finds application in biomedical, plastics and packaging due to facts such as they are non-toxic, sterilize, effective and bio compatible.

Market Insights

The global biodegradable Polymers market is projected to grow with a CAGR between 20.0% and 20.5% during 2017-2023. Growing consumer demand towards eco-friendly packaging and changing consumer focus towards healthier living which results in increasing demand for natural, sustainable and green products is the prime factor driving the global biodegradable polymers market. Moreover, intensity in the prices of crude oil which is raw material for the production of petroleum based polymer also helps in driving the demand of biodegradable polymers globally over the traditional petroleum polymers. Furthermore, increasing demand for biodegradable polymers from the application such as biomedical, agriculture and packaging are also anticipated to drive the global biodegradable polymers market over the forecast period. However, fewer biodegradable applications to replace synthetic based plastic materials and high manufacturing cost are the key restraining factors hampering the growth of biodegradable market across the globe. Nevertheless, growing initiatives by government to promote renewable & sustainable polymers, green products and regulations forcing key vendors for manufacturing biodegradable polymers as well as economical raw material prices required for the production of biodegradable polymers will bring more opportunities to the global biodegradable polymers market over the forecast period.
