Global biodegradable plastics market is expected to reach USD 8.57 Billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 15.64% from 2018 to 2025. Growing consumer preference for the eco-friendly plastic products and increasing regulations and prohibitions against the use of plastic bags and other plastic items are driving the global biodegradable plastics market.
Market Overview:
Biodegradable plastic is plastic that decomposes naturally in the environment by the action of microorganisms in the environment that metabolize and break down the structure of biodegradable plastic. The end result is one which is relatively less harmful to the environment than the traditional plastics. Non-decomposable plastics are a global environmental problem. Governments around the world are dealing with this problem by banning single-use plastics and promoting biodegradable plastics. Moreover, consumers are willing to pay more for biodegradable plastics owing to their eco-friendly nature. Moreover increasing use of biodegradable plastics in packaging and agriculture sectors is projected to drive the global biodegradable plastics market over the forecast period.

Global Biodegradable Plastics Market Competitive Analysis:
Key players in the global biodegradable plastics market are BASF SE, BIO-ON, Biome Bioplastics, Total Corbion PLA, FKuR, MHG, Natur -Tec India Private Limited., Nature Works LLC, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Plantic Technologies, Danimer Scientific, Novamont S.P.A., Toray Industries, Succinity GmbH, Tianan Biologic Materials Co., Synbra Technology Bv, Carbiolice, and among others. Regular biodegradable plastics require specific moisture and temperature in order to decompose. Scientists at the BEACON bioeconomy research centre and AMBER materials science research centre have, however, designed a new biodegradable material which could help alleviate the problem. They found that by adding polycaprolactone (PCL) to polylactic acid (PLA), which normally on its own requires high temperatures to disintegrate, the material completely broke down in an environment mirroring a home composter.
