[184 Pages Report] The Bioplastics Market size was estimated at USD 14.10 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 15.94 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 13.25% to reach USD 33.72 billion by 2030.

Bioplastics are materials derived from renewable sources such as plants, microorganisms, and agricultural waste that can function as alternatives to conventional plastics produced from fossil fuels. They exhibit similar properties to traditional plastics regarding flexibility, durability, and lightweight performance, making them suitable for various applications in packaging, automotive components, electronics, agriculture, and medical devices. Increasing environmental concerns and stricter regulations regarding plastic waste disposal have led to a higher demand for eco-friendly alternatives such as bioplastics. Rising public awareness about using sustainable products also drives the adoption of bioplastics. However, the production cost of bioplastics is higher than that of conventional plastics due to feedstock prices, economies of scale, and investment in research & development. Moreover, the development of new application areas for bioplastics and research to develop high-performance biopolymers with enhanced properties can broaden their adoption across various industries.
