세계의 바이오플라스틱 시장 예측(-2032년) : 유형별, 용도별, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Bioplastics Market is accounted for $18.6 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $67.3 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 20.1% during the forecast period. The bioplastics market involves plastics derived from renewable biomass sources and, in some cases, designed to be biodegradable or compostable. It includes materials such as PLA, PHA, and bio-based PE used in packaging, consumer goods, textiles, and automotive parts. Benefits include reduced dependence on fossil feedstocks, lower greenhouse gas emissions over the life cycle, potential for improved end-of-life options, and support for brand and regulatory goals around sustainable materials.

According to European Bioplastics' market data, global bioplastics production capacity was about 2.18 million tonnes in 2023 and is projected to expand substantially toward 2028, indicating rising industrial bioplastics capacity.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Stringent Global Plastic Bans

Governments worldwide are intensifying regulatory pressure through bans and taxes on conventional plastics, directly accelerating bioplastics adoption. Policies like the EU's Single-Use Plastics Directive are compelling industries to seek sustainable alternatives, creating a guaranteed market pull. Furthermore, extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes are making traditional plastics less economically viable, pushing packaging, consumer goods, and textiles manufacturers to transition to biobased materials to ensure compliance and maintain market access, thereby fueling consistent market growth.

Restraint:

Performance and Limitations

Despite their environmental benefits, bioplastics often face performance and processing hurdles that restrict their application scope. Key issues include lower heat resistance, inferior barrier properties compared to advanced petroplastics, and brittleness. Additionally, many bioplastics require specific industrial composting facilities to biodegrade, which are not universally available, leading to potential consumer confusion and improper disposal. These technical and infrastructural limitations currently hinder their adoption in high-performance sectors like automotive and advanced electronics, slowing market penetration.

Opportunity:

Development of a Circular Economy

Bioplastics, especially those derived from bio-waste, align perfectly with circular models by keeping carbon in a continuous loop and reducing dependence on virgin fossil resources. Moreover, innovations in chemical recycling for bioplastics can create closed-loop systems, turning end-of-life products into new materials. This synergy allows brands to build zero-waste portfolios and meet ambitious sustainability targets, unlocking new value chains and customer segments.

Threat:

Competition from Recycled Plastics

The growing maturity and scale of mechanical and advanced recycling for conventional plastics pose a significant competitive threat. Recycled PET (rPET) and similar materials offer a lower carbon footprint at an often more competitive price point than many bioplastics. As packaging giants and consumer brands invest heavily in recycled content to meet sustainability goals, bioplastics must convincingly demonstrate a superior environmental or functional advantage to justify their typically premium cost and avoid being sidelined in the market.

Covid-19 Impact:

The pandemic initially disrupted bioplastics supply chains and R&D activities, mirroring broader industrial trends. However, the crisis ultimately amplified the demand for sustainable packaging, particularly in e-commerce and food delivery, where hygiene and environmental concerns converged. This surge highlighted the fragility of linear plastic economies and accelerated corporate commitments to sustainability. Consequently, the post-pandemic recovery phase has seen a strengthened market position for bioplastics as resilience and eco-consciousness become central to corporate strategy.

The non-biodegradable bioplastics segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The non-biodegradable bioplastics segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period and is driven by its direct 'drop-in' capability with existing manufacturing and recycling infrastructure. These materials offer the reduced carbon footprint of a bio-based origin without requiring consumers or municipalities to alter disposal habits. Their proven durability and versatility make them the immediate choice for brands in rigid packaging, automotive, and textiles seeking to quickly meet sustainability mandates with minimal operational disruption, securing their leading market share.

The consumer goods segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the consumer goods segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, fueled by intense brand competition and shifting consumer preferences. Companies in cosmetics, electronics, and household products are aggressively adopting bioplastics for durable items like casings, containers, and disposable cutlery to enhance their green credentials. This sector's rapid product lifecycles and direct consumer engagement allow for quicker integration of sustainable materials, making it a key testing ground for innovation and a primary driver of the bioplastics market's expansion.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Europe region is expected to hold the largest market share. This leadership is anchored in the European Union's proactive and stringent regulatory framework, including the Single-Use Plastics Directive and ambitious circular economy action plans. Strong consumer awareness, coupled with significant investment in bioeconomy initiatives and advanced waste management infrastructure, creates a highly conducive environment for bioplastics adoption. Consequently, European countries remain the dominant market, setting the pace for both innovation and commercialization.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, propelled by the escalating plastic waste crisis in densely populated nations, prompting governments to implement stricter plastic regulations. Furthermore, the region serves as a global manufacturing hub, with leading brands exerting pressure on local suppliers to embrace sustainable materials. Massive investments in new bioplastic production capacity, particularly in countries like Thailand, India, and China, are set to make Asia Pacific the engine of global market growth.
