Market Study: Bioplastics (4th edition)

The market research institute Ceresana analyzed the global market for bioplastics already for the fourth time. According to the new study, these materials account for considerably higher growth rates than traditional petrochemical standard plastics.

The Study in Brief:

Chapter 1 provides a description and analysis of the global market for bioplastics - including forecasts up to 2023: Demand and production for each plastic type as well as revenues are given for the regions Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World.

Chapter 2 examines the 7 largest countries of the market in more detail. Data on demand for and revenues generated with bioplastics as well as current and future production capacities are provided. Demand for bioplastics is analyzed in detail, split by the applications packaging and films, bottles, loose fill materials, bags and sacks, automotive and electronics, and other applications. Furthermore, this chapter includes an analysis of demand split by types of plastics.

Chapter 3 analyzes the different types of application areas of bioplastics in detail: This part provides data on development in Europe (Western and Eastern Europe), North America, Asia-Pacific, and the rest of the world.

In chapter 4, demand and production of individual types of bioplastics are analyzed. Products covered include polylactic acid (PLA), starch-based bioplastics, other biodegradable plastics, bio-PE, bio-PET, and other non-biodegradable bioplastics.

Chapter 5 is a useful directory of producers of bioplastics, clearly arranged according to contact details, turnover, profit, product range, production sites, profile summary, product-specific information as well as existing and future capacities at individual production sites. In-depth profiles of 90 producers are given.
