To gain more consumer traction and increase market share, key players are investing heavily in the research and development of bioplastics. A rise in the popularity of bioplastics has motivated manufacturers to escalate production volumes and invest significantly in research and development. Their investments revolve around developing new, biodegradable polymer blends, and creating greater bioplastic strength and flexibility. Innovations in biopolymers focus on biopolymer composition and structure. For example, Lotte Chemical produces biodegradable block-copolymer for application in orthopedic devices, and BASF manufactures biodegradable graft polymers for use in washing and cleaning products. Further, Teijin Limited offers formable gasoline-resistant film products of PLANEXT bioplastic to replace chrome plating. The company's innovative film is developed using special metal-evaporation technology from a processing-manufacturer partner. This new film is produced with PLANEXT SN4600, an enhanced grade of Teijin's PLANEXT bioplastic, which is produced from bio-origin isosorbide. In addition to original PLANEXT properties—such as chemical resistance, transparency, and surface hardness—polymer reformation imparts significant new properties to PLANEXT SN4600, including gasoline resistance, formability, and UV resistance. Thus, the growing focus on innovations and technology advancements is the key trend predicted to propel the bioplastics market during the forecast period.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the MEA bioplastics market at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
MEA bioplastics market is segmented into type, application, and country. Based on type, the market is segmented into biodegradable and non-biodegradable.
