The polylactic acid segment is expected to maintain dominance during the forecast period.
Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most common biodegradable polymers used today. It's derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane, making it an attractive alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. PLA is often used in packaging materials such as films, trays, cups, and containers. Its ability to form transparent and heat-sealable films makes it suitable for food packaging. PLA-based disposable cutlery, plates, and cups are popular in the food service industry. These items can be composted along with organic waste, reducing the environmental impact of single-use plastics.
The packaging segment is expected to lead throughout the forecast period.
Biodegradable polymers are used in various forms of food packaging, including films, trays, and containers. These materials provide protection and preservation for food products while also being environmentally friendly. Biodegradable polymers are used in the production of single-use items like cups, plates, utensils, and straws. These items are often used in restaurants, cafes, and other food service establishments where single-use items are common.

Europe to maintain its dominance by 2033
Biodegradable polymers have gained significant traction in European countries due to their potential to address environmental concerns associated with traditional plastics. The agriculture sector in European countries has also embraced biodegradable polymers for various purposes. Biodegradable mulch films, made from polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA) or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), offer an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional plastic mulches. These biodegradable mulch films help improve soil health, reduce plastic contamination in agricultural environments, and facilitate the decomposition of the mulch after use, minimizing the need for removal and disposal.
Germany stands out as a leader in the adoption of biodegradable polymers. The country has a robust recycling infrastructure and stringent environmental regulations, driving the demand for sustainable alternatives to traditional plastics. German companies are investing in research and development to innovate biodegradable polymers for various applications, including packaging, agriculture, and consumer goods.
