The global Biopolymer Films Market is expected to exceed 17 million tons by 2022. It had a market demand of 5 million tons in 2013. This industry is driven by the preference for renewable materials in an attempt to reduce pollution. Bio-based polymers such as PTMT (polytrimethylene terephthalate), TPS (thermoplastic starch), PLA (polylactic acid), and PHA (polyhydroxyalkonoates) may reap favorable returns over the forecast period (2016-2024).
