2030 年生物降解塑料市場預測 - 按產品、應用和地區劃分的全球分析Biodegradable Plastics Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product (Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate, Polybutylene Succinate, Polyhydroxyalkanoates, Polylactic Acid and Other Products), Application and By Geography |
根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據,預計 2023 年全球生物降解塑料市場規模將達到 52.4 億美元,2030 年將達到 113.8 億美元,複合年增長率為 11.7%。
由植物、藻類和微生物等可再生資源製成的塑料被稱為可生物降解、可堆肥和環保塑料。 與由化石燃料製成的傳統塑料相比,可生物降解塑料可以通過生物過程自然分解,並轉化為無害元素,如水、二氧化碳和生物質。 這一特性使其非常適合各種應用,包括包裝、農業、汽車和消費品。
根據歐洲環境署2021年1月發布的數據,近40%的受訪者表示他們計劃在未來採取更加可持續的行動。
一次性塑料的濫用及其對環境和人類健康的有害影響推動了全球對可生物降解塑料的需求。 石油基塑料需要數十年的時間才能分解並最終進入垃圾填埋場,這使其成為緊迫的環境問題。 可生物降解塑料被吸收到環境中並迅速降解。 可生物降解塑料的分解速度也比傳統塑料更快。 因此,日益增長的環境問題預計將重振可生物降解塑料市場。
與傳統聚合物相比,可生物降解塑料的高價格限制了市場增長。 玉米澱粉和甘蔗等植物基材料通常用作生物降解塑料的原材料。 與傳統塑料中使用的化石燃料的提取和精煉相比,這些可再生資源的生產和加工成本可能非常昂貴。 與傳統塑料相比,可生物降解塑料的生產可能需要額外的工藝和專用機械。 這會增加生產成本並提高整個製造過程的價格。
生物降解塑料生產中不斷採用新技術,預計未來將帶來豐富的投資機會。 抗菌技術現在正被納入可生物降解材料的生產中,以製造長保質期的材料並延長包裝商品(尤其是食品)的保質期。 此外,抗菌包裝還可用於阻止微生物生長,確保化學和微生物食品安全。
塑料成本受到石油價格波動的影響。 從長遠來看是很難的。 由於供需動態,石油價格可能會下跌。 因此,傳統塑料的成本將會下降,這可能會阻礙對可生物降解塑料的需求。
由於全球供應鍊和生產服務中斷,COVID-19 大流行對全球可生物降解塑料的生產產生了負面影響。 此外,在疫情期間,數百萬人丟棄了手套、口罩、消毒瓶和圍裙等一次性塑料製品,產生了大量塑料垃圾。 這些因素正在增加可生物降解塑料在個人防護裝備和其他產品中的使用。 由於冠狀病毒大流行後的業務擴張,生物降解塑料的市場趨勢預計也將穩步增長。
到 2022 年,包裝領域佔據了生物降解塑料的最大市場份額,預計在預測期內將保持這一地位。 可生物降解塑料用於硬質和軟質包裝,並且隨著它們在食品包裝材料(如盒子、包裝紙、杯子和盤子)中取代更傳統的塑料,其用途正在不斷擴大。 此外,藥物封裝和外科手術作為可生物降解塑料在醫療領域的新應用也變得越來越普遍。
PLA領域預計在預測期內將快速增長。 由於 PLA 由可再生原材料製成,比傳統塑料排放的溫室氣體更少,因此它越來越多地應用於農業和包裝等各種行業。 預計這些因素將在未來幾年推動市場增長。
由於包裝、農業、消費品和紡織品等各種最終用途行業對生物降解塑料的需求不斷增長,預計歐洲將佔據全球市場的最大銷售份額。 歐盟委員會認識到生物塑料在生物經濟中發揮著重要作用,並有可能加速向循環經濟的轉型。 此外,在預測期內,通過增加使用可生物降解塑料以發展循環生物經濟的舉措、制定政策和提供補貼,預計該地區的市場增長將得到推動。
由於可生物降解塑料在包裝行業的使用不斷增加,預計亞太地區在預測期內將出現高增長率。 該地區便捷的原材料採購、負擔得起的勞動力以及具有成本效益的原材料供應,促使在歐洲和美國運營的公司將製造基地轉移到亞太地區。
2023 年 6 月,阿科瑪收購了 PI Advanced Materials 的控股權,擴大了其高性能聚合物產品組合。 Glenwood Private Equity擬收購韓國上市公司PI Advanced Materials (PIAM) 54%的股權,企業價值7.28億歐元。 該公司將完全合併到阿科瑪的會計中。
2022 年 12 月,Futero 將在諾曼底建立歐洲首個垂直一體化生物精煉廠,生產和回收 PLA。 繼2021年在中國建設第一家PLA(聚乳酸)工廠後,Futero將選址位於魯昂和勒阿弗爾之間的塞納河軸線上的塞納河區(聖讓德福爾維爾市),目標是在傑羅姆港工業和港口區建立一個新的完全一體化的生物精煉廠。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Biodegradable Plastics Market is accounted for $5.24 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $11.38 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period. Plastics made from renewable resources like plants, algae, or microorganisms are known as biodegradable plastics, compostable plastics, or eco-friendly plastics. Biodegradable plastics, as opposed to conventional plastics made from fossil fuels, can decompose naturally through biological processes into harmless elements like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. Due to this quality, they are very desirable for a variety of applications, including packaging, agriculture, automotive, and consumer goods.
According to data published by the European Environment Agency in January 2021, nearly 40% of respondents said they planned to adopt more sustainable behavior in the future.
Global demand for biodegradable plastics is being driven by the overuse of disposable single-use plastics and their detrimental effects on the environment and human health. Being made of petroleum, plastics take decades to degrade and end up in landfills, making them one of the most urgent environmental concerns. Biodegradable plastics are absorbed into the environment and break down quickly. Biodegradable plastics also decompose more quickly than conventional plastics. As a result, growing environmental concerns are anticipated to fuel the market for biodegradable plastics.
The market's growth is constrained by biodegradable plastics' higher price compared to traditional polymers. Plant-based materials, like corn starch or sugarcane, are frequently used as the raw materials for biodegradable plastics. In comparison to the extraction and refinement of fossil fuels used in conventional plastics, the production and processing costs of these renewable resources can be higher. In comparison to conventional plastics, the production of biodegradable plastics may require extra steps or specialized machinery. This may raise production costs and drive up the price of the manufacturing process as a whole.
Future years are expected to bring about a wealth of investment opportunities due to the continuous adoption of new technologies in the production of biodegradable plastics. Antimicrobial technology is now being incorporated into the production of biodegradable materials to create materials with longer shelf lives and to prolong the preservation of packaged goods, particularly food items. Additionally, antimicrobial packaging is used to stop microbial growth and guarantee chemical and microbiological food safety.
The cost of plastics is influenced by changes in oil prices. In the long term, this would be difficult. With the dynamics of supply and demand, oil prices may decrease. This may lead to a drop in the cost of traditional plastics, which would hinder the demand for biodegradable plastics.
Due to disruptions in supply chains and production services around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the production of biodegradable plastics globally. Additionally, millions of people discarded single-use plastic items like gloves, masks, sanitizer bottles, and aprons during the pandemic, producing a significant amount of plastic waste. The use of biodegradable plastics in PPE and other products has increased as a result of this factor. The market trend for biodegradable plastics is also anticipated to grow favorably following the coronavirus pandemic due to company developments.
Packaging accounted for the largest market share of biodegradable plastics in 2022 and is anticipated to continue to hold this position throughout the forecast period. It is utilized in both rigid and flexible packaging and is expanding as more and more conventional plastics are being replaced in food packaging materials like boxes, wraps, cups, and plates. In addition, new uses for biodegradable plastics in the medical field are becoming more common for drug encapsulation and surgical procedures.
Over the forecast period, the PLA segment is anticipated to grow rapidly. Because it is made of renewable raw materials and emits fewer greenhouse gases than traditional plastics, PLA is increasingly used in a variety of industries, including agriculture and packaging. These factors are anticipated to fuel market growth over the upcoming years.
Because of the rising demand for biodegradable plastics across a variety of end-use industries, including packaging, agriculture, consumer goods, and textiles, Europe is anticipated to hold the largest revenue share in the global market. The European Commission acknowledged that bioplastics play a crucial role in the bioeconomy and have the potential to hasten the transition to a circular economy. Furthermore, during the forecast period, market growth in the region is anticipated to be boosted by rising initiatives, policy establishment, and the availability of subsidies regarding the use of biodegradable plastics for the development of a circular bioeconomy.
Due to the growing use of biodegradable plastics in the packaging industry, Asia Pacific is anticipated to post a strong growth rate during the forecast period. Due to the region's convenient access to feedstock purchases, affordable labor, and availability of cost-effective raw materials, businesses operating in Europe and the United States are moving their manufacturing operations to Asia-Pacific, which is boosting the region's market.

In June 2023, Arkema broadens its range of high performance polymers with the acquisition of a controlling stake in PI Advanced Materials. Proposed acquisition of Glenwood Private Equity's 54% stake in the listed South Korean company PI Advanced Materials (PIAM), for €728m enterprise value. The company will be fully consolidated in Arkema's accounts.
In December 2022, Futerro plans to set up Europe's first vertically integrated biorefinery in Normandy to produce PLA and recycle it. Following the construction of its first PLA (poly-lactic acid) plant in China in 2021, Futerro's ambition is to set up a new fully integrated biorefinery in the industrial and port area of Port-Jerome, in the Caux Seine agglomeration (commune of Saint-Jean-de-Folleville), located on the Seine axis between Rouen and Le Havre.
