Market Study Bioplastics
Ceresana has examined the world market for "green" polymers for the fifth time already: biodegradable plastics can be composted, whereas bio-based plastics are made of renewable resources but are not always biodegradable.
The study in brief:
Chapter 1 provides a comprehensive analysis of the global market for bioplastics – including forecasts until 2026: the development of demand, revenues, and production is presented for each region. Furthermore, individual application areas for bioplastics are examined. We differentiate between the categories rigid packaging, flexible packaging (bags and sacks), other flexible packaging, consumer goods, automotive and electronics, and other applications.
Chapter 2 examines the eight most important countries for sales of bioplastics separately: Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, USA, China, and Japan. Demand and revenues, demand within individual application areas, demand per product type (PLA, starch-based, other biodegradable plastics, non-biodegradable plastics made of renewable resources) are presented.
Chapter 3 provides useful company profiles of the most important manufacturers of bioplastics, clearly arranged according to contact information, revenues, profits, product range, production sites, and profile summary. In-depth profiles of 75 manufacturers are listed, including, for example, Agrana Beteiligungs-AG, BASF SE, Braskem S.A., Far Eastern New Century Corporation (FENC), NatureWorks LLC, Novamont S.p.A., Rodenburg Biopolymers BV, Solvay SA, Teijin Limited, and Vegeplast S.A.S..
