Global market for bioplastics

17 January 2017

A new Ceresana study examines the global market for bioplastics. Currently, revenues of more than USD 2.6 billion are generated with these 'green' plastics. Bioplastics account for considerably higher growth rates than traditional standard plastics. Facing a rising demand and an increasingly broader range of applications, this trend will become even more significant. While biodegradable plastics account for the smaller share on global demand for bioplastics with 42%, they register the more dynamical volume growth of over 11% p.a.
The most important sales sector for bioplastics is the packaging industry - from demand for bottles to the production of films up to bags and sacks.
