Bioplastics Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 19.2% from 2017 to 2025

The key factors responsible for the increasing adoption of bioplastics in rigid packaging applications include, the growing environmental awareness among the consumers and notable curiosity of packaging industries towards biodegradability. By 2020, the rigid plastic application would account for more than 40% of the market revenue.

Bioplastics are plastics that are made from the renewable feedstocks such as corn, sugarcane and cellulose among others. Largely available renewable feedstocks and eco-friendly nature of bioplastics fuel its market worldwide. Furthermore, increasing adoption in new end-user industries and encouraging government policies for the use of eco-friendly and biodegradable products are some of the main factors that would drive the market growth. On the other hand, high production cost is likely to restrain the growth during the forecast period.
