Global Biodegradable Films Market is valued approximately at USD 1.0 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.95% over the forecast period 2020-2027. Biodegradable films are environment friendly films used as a wrap in numerous applications namely, Food Packaging and agriculture. These films can be decomposed by nature with greater ease as opposed to traditional films used. Thus, the growing concerns for environment safety and increasing public awareness drives the market growth. Further, growing support from the government through mandatory regulations regarding environmental safety of the manufactured products propel organizations to adopt biodegradable films fueling the market growth. For Instance: Futamura Chemicals collaborated with Bio4Pack GmbH to manufacture plastic free compostable crisp pack for German crisps producer myChipsBox. The use of this biodegradable pack using NatureFlex Flim helped the company venture into sustainable crisp pack market. Further, continuous research and development in the field to increase the ease of biodegradability has led to launch of new products increasing the product portfolio leading to the market growth. In May 2019, BASF SE entered into an agreement with Lactips to market water soluble, 100% bio-based and fully biodegradable film manufactured by Lactips. However, higher cost of biodegradable films compared to conventional plastic films impedes the growth of the market over the forecast period of 2020-2027.
