Biopolymers Market Overview
Biopolymers are polymers that are produced or derived from living organisms, such as plants and microbes, petroleum, the traditional source of polymers, the primary source of biopolymers is renewable. Other examples of biopolymers include natural rubber (polymers of isoprene), suberin and lignin (complex polyphonic polymers), cutin and cutan (complex polymers of long-chain fatty acids), and melanin. Three classes of biopolymers are used and biopolymer structures are formed: polynucleotides, polypeptides, and polysaccharides. Biopolymers have been found to be biocompatible and biodegradable, allowing them to be used in food films, emulsions, packaging materials in the food industry and drug transport materials, organs such as medical implants, wound healing, tissue scaffolds and dressings. Biopolymers include proteins (polymers of nucleic acids), genetic material (polymers of nucleic acids), glycoforms (carbohydrates and glycosylated molecules), metabolites, and other structural molecules. In cellulose, it is a naturally occurring polymer of glucose, found as the main component of plants and the natural fibers of cotton and linen, some bacteria such as Acetobacter xylinum can also synthesize cellulose. Biopolymers are organic polymers produced by various biological organisms, in nature, biopolymers can be found in large quantities, they are biodegradable and have no negative impact on the environment and therefore can be suitable soil-remediation materials. The use of polymers reduces carbon dioxide emissions, municipal solid waste and dependence on petroleum-based resources, in packaging applications, the material is selected based on permeability and tensile properties. Increasing awareness about the use of bio-based polymers will drive the growth of the global biopolymer market over the forecast period.
Biopolymers Market Dynamics
The primary factor driving the food and beverage industry including poultry products, dried fruits and more is the growth of the biopolymer market and changing consumer lifestyles in developed countries, rising pharmaceutical, food and other industries and emergence of new product development in biopolymers products. The global market is expected to provide opportunities to manufacturers during the forecast period. Growing use in the pharmaceutical industry for biomedical applications provides a huge market opportunity for key players operating in the biopolymer market, however, volatile prices are predicted to hinder the overall growth of the biopolymer market. High cost of biopolymer is expected to limit the growth of biopolymer market during the forecast period, hence, high cost of biopolymer market in the coming years.
Technological advancement
The increase in the number of advanced technologies and the growing tremendous growth of the bio-polymer sectors have had a major impact on the growth of the global biopolymer market sectors. Biopolymers technology, he is interested in using biopolymers and converting them into advanced bio macromolecule materials. Manufacturers involved in the biopolymers market are developing advanced versions of their products due to new age technological advancements. Major biopolymers players are investing more in power systems and creating more modern, time-saving, cost-effective technologies that will positively impact the biopolymers market. Changes in regulations favoring biopolymers are expected to drive the market, especially in developed countries. In November 2022, Braskem's new Boston Metro Area Innovation Center focuses on accelerating early-stage innovations in renewable chemicals and sustainable materials. Braskem, the largest polyolefin producer in the U.S. as well as a market leader and industry leader in biopolymers, announced this month the construction of a new Renewable Innovation Center in Lexington, Massachusetts, owned by Greatland Realty Partners.
Biopolymers Market Segmentation
Disclaimer: This data is only a representation. Actual data may vary and will be available in the report.
The Biopolymers Market is segmented based on type, application, end-use industry and region.
Biopolymers Market, By Type
On the basis of type, the Biopolymers Market is segmented into Non-Biodegradable/Bio-Based, Biodegradable and Others. Natural biodegradable polymers are called biopolymers, as polysaccharides, starch and cellulose, represent the most typical family of these natural polymers. Other natural polymers such as proteins can be used to produce biodegradable materials, these are the two main renewable sources of biopolymers. Non-biodegradable polymers consist of long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, these molecules form an interatomic type of bonding, and they are recalcitrant, which means that it is difficult for microbes to break the bonds and digest them, so they require a long time to decompose.
Biopolymers Market, By Application
On the basis of application, the target market is classified into films, bottles, fibers, seed coating, automotive components, medical implants, others. Biopolymers have been found to be biocompatible and biodegradable, making them suitable for use in edible films, emulsion and packaging materials and drug transport materials in the food industry, medical implant organs, wound healing, tissue scaffolds and dressings. Biopolymers are used for the development of therapeutic devices such as temporary prostheses, three-dimensional porous structures as scaffolds for tissue engineering, and as controlled sustained release drug delivery vehicles and applications.
Biopolymers Market, By End-Use Industry
On the basis of end-use industry, the target market is classified into packaging, consumer goods, automotive transportation, textiles, agriculture and horticulture, and others. In packaging, the most common biopolymers used in packaging are polyhydroxyalkanoate, polylactic acid and starch, starch and PLA are commercially available and have properties that make them a common choice for packaging.
