세계의 바이오 기반 산업 재료 시장 예측(-2032년) : 제품 유형별, 원료별, 형태별, 유통 채널별, 최종사용자별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Bio-Based Industrial Materials Market is accounted for $23.0 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $82.5 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 20% during the forecast period. Bio-Based Industrial Materials are derived partially or entirely from renewable biological sources such as plants, agricultural residues, or microbial processes. These materials are used to replace petroleum-based plastics, resins, and chemicals across packaging, construction, automotive, and consumer goods industries. Driven by sustainability mandates and circular economy initiatives, they help reduce carbon footprints, improve resource efficiency, and support regulatory compliance while maintaining comparable functional and mechanical performance.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Stringent sustainability and emission regulations

Stringent global sustainability and emission regulations are driving demand for bio-based industrial materials. Governments and regulatory bodies are enforcing stricter carbon reduction targets, pushing industries to replace petroleum-derived inputs with renewable alternatives. Bio-based polymers, composites, and coatings help manufacturers meet compliance while reducing environmental footprints. As industries transition toward greener supply chains, regulatory pressure is accelerating adoption, positioning bio-based materials as essential enablers of sustainable manufacturing and long-term climate resilience.

Restraint:

Limited scalability of bio-based feedstocks

Despite strong demand, limited scalability of bio-based feedstocks remains a key restraint. Agricultural and forestry resources used for biopolymers and composites face seasonal variability, land-use competition, and supply chain constraints. Scaling production to meet industrial demand requires significant investment in biorefineries and logistics infrastructure. These challenges hinder cost competitiveness compared to fossil-based materials, slowing adoption in price-sensitive markets. Feedstock limitations thus remain a critical bottleneck for widespread commercialization of bio-based industrial materials.

Opportunity:

Circular economy and green manufacturing initiatives

The rise of circular economy models and green manufacturing initiatives presents major opportunities for bio-based industrial materials. Companies are investing in closed-loop systems where bio-based inputs can be recycled, repurposed, or biodegraded, reducing waste and emissions. Innovations in bioplastics, bio-composites, and plant-derived resins align with corporate sustainability goals and consumer demand for eco-friendly products. As industries embrace circularity, bio-based materials are positioned to capture premium markets and drive long-term growth across multiple sectors.

Threat:

Volatile raw material supply chains

Volatility in raw material supply chains poses a threat to bio-based industrial materials. Dependence on agricultural crops and natural resources exposes producers to risks from climate change, geopolitical tensions, and commodity price fluctuations. Disruptions in feedstock availability can increase costs and reduce reliability, discouraging adoption in critical industries. Without diversified sourcing and resilient supply chains, bio-based materials may struggle to compete with synthetic alternatives, limiting their penetration in global markets.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global supply chains and reduced industrial activity, temporarily slowing demand for bio-based materials. However, it also accelerated sustainability initiatives as companies sought resilient, eco-friendly solutions post-crisis. Consumer preference for biodegradable packaging and green products surged during recovery, boosting adoption. Governments reinforced sustainability policies, further supporting bio-based innovation. The pandemic ultimately highlighted the importance of sustainable materials in building resilient supply chains and reducing environmental risks.

The bio-based polymers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The bio-based polymers segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, resulting from their widespread use in packaging, automotive, and consumer goods. Their ability to replace petroleum-based plastics with renewable alternatives makes them central to sustainability strategies. Continuous innovation in PLA, PHA, and starch-based polymers is improving performance and cost efficiency. As industries prioritize eco-friendly solutions, bio-based polymers remain the largest segment, capturing significant market share during the forecast period.

The plant-based sources segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the plant-based sources segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, propelled by innovations in lignin, cellulose, and starch-derived materials. These feedstocks offer abundant availability and align with sustainability goals, enabling scalable production of bioplastics, composites, and coatings. Advances in biotechnology and agricultural practices are improving yields and reducing costs. As industries demand renewable alternatives, plant-based sources are expected to lead growth, making them the fastest-expanding segment in the bio-based industrial materials market.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share, attributed to strong manufacturing bases in China, Japan, and India. The region benefits from abundant agricultural resources, government-backed sustainability initiatives, and rising consumer demand for eco-friendly products. Expanding biopolymer production facilities and investments in green infrastructure further reinforce Asia Pacific's leadership. With growing emphasis on circular economy practices, the region is positioned as the dominant hub for bio-based industrial materials.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR associated with strong regulatory frameworks, corporate sustainability commitments, and advanced R&D capabilities. The U.S. and Canada are investing heavily in biorefineries and green chemistry innovations, supporting large-scale adoption of bio-based materials. Consumer preference for biodegradable packaging and renewable products further accelerates growth. As industries transition toward low-carbon manufacturing, North America is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing region in the bio-based industrial materials market.
