The global biodegradable film market was valued at $1.1 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $2.3 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2023 to 2032.
Biodegradable film refers to a type of thin material that breaks down naturally into harmless components when exposed to environmental conditions, such as moisture, sunlight, and microorganisms. Unlike traditional plastic films made from non-renewable resources such as petroleum, biodegradable films are typically derived from renewable sources like plant-based materials (e.g., corn, potato, sugarcane, etc.) or other biopolymers.?
The world’s population continues to increase, leading to greater demand for food and agricultural products. The agriculture industry plays a crucial role in meeting the surge in food needs of a larger global population. In addition, there is a rise in emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices to minimize environmental impact on conservation resources and improve long-term productivity. Sustainable farming practices, including organic farming and regenerative agriculture, have gained popularity among consumers. Biodegradable films find increasing use in agriculture for mulching, which helps conserve water, control weeds, and improve soil quality. The agricultural sector’s adoption of biodegradable films has contributed to market growth. These factors are expected to drive the market growth in the agriculture? industry during the forecast period.
Biodegradable films have a shorter shelf life compared to traditional plastics. They are more susceptible to moisture and temperature changes, which impact their mechanical properties and lead to a reduced product lifespan. Biodegradable films are more expensive to produce than conventional plastics. The cost of raw materials and production processes is higher, which sometimes translate to higher product prices for consumers. This factor is expected to hamper market growth during the forecast period.?
Advancements in material technology have a profound impact on various industries, ranging from electronics, aerospace, and healthcare. These advancements have enabled the development of more efficient, durable, and innovative products in the biodegradable films market. Furthermore, ongoing research and development efforts are continuously improving the properties and performance of biodegradable materials. Innovations in material technology are likely to lead to new formulations with enhanced strength, barrier properties, and compost ability, opening up new opportunities for biodegradable films in diverse applications. This factor is projected to offer new avenues for the biodegradable market.
The biodegradable films market is segmented on the basis of raw material, the market is categorized into polylactic acid (PLA), biodegradable starch, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and others. On the basis of application, it is divided into food packaging, agriculture mulching, pharmaceutical packaging, and others. Region-wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
