COVID-19 impact on global biodegradable plastics market
Biodegradable plastics are used in various industries, such as packaging, consumer goods, textiles and agriculture & horticulture. However, due to the ongoing pandemic, the industries had been affected throughout the world. Manpower shortage, logistical restrictions, material unavailability, and other restrictions had slowed the growth of the industry during the previous year. Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and its gradual spread, industries of essential needs, like getting foods and required supplies safely to the consumers are increasingly affected. The global impact has led to sharp reduction in demand for some types of packaging which are condemned as non-essential. On the other hand the demand for essential packaging such as e-commerce shipment has seen massive growth. These changes are presenting the packaging companies with new set of challenges. The affect of Covid-19 pandemic on the packaging industry will be mixed due to these reasons. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the normal functioning of companies in the consumer goods sector. The successful marketing model has been impacted by the pandemic, which has furthered the proper functioning of business model. Due to the supply chain disruptions around the globe, 76% of the businesses had to reduce revenue targets by an average of 23%, as per Institute for Supply Management Research. The sector has mixed market feelings as some sectors such as household cleaning and frozen foods have seen increase in consumer demands whereas others have seen drop in sales and significant decrease in food traffic in retail stores. The companies had to become flexible with the change in consumer demand towards e-commerce. This as forced the entire consumer goods industry into digital age.
Biodegradable plastics Market Dynamics
Driver: Changing consumer preference toward eco-friendly plastic
Improving consumer awareness regarding sustainable plastic solutions and increasing efforts to eliminate the use of non-biodegradable conventional plastics contribute to the market growth of biodegradable plastics. Traditionally used petroleum-based plastics take decades to break down or degrade and lay in the landfills for a long period. Biodegradable plastics break down faster when they are discarded and are absorbed back into the natural system. In addition, the rate of decomposition of biodegradable plastics by the activities of microorganisms is much faster than that of traditional plastics.
Biodegradable plastics break down 60% and more within 180 days or less as compared with traditional plastics, which take around 1,000 years to break down. Increasing landfills and waste piles have emerged as serious environmental hazards and resulted in numerous adverse effects on the flora and fauna of the ecosystem. The growing consumer awareness regarding these adverse effects (arising from the use of traditional plastics) is encouraging the use of biodegradable plastics. Therefore, the shift in consumer preference toward the use of eco-friendly plastic products is driving the market for biodegradable plastics.
Restraint: Higher prices of biodegradable plastics than conventional plastics
The higher cost of biodegradable plastics than that of traditional polymers restrains the market's growth in many application segments. Generally, the production cost of biodegradable plastics is 20-80% higher than that of conventional plastics. This is primarily due to the high polymerization cost of biodegradable plastics as most of the processes are still in the development stage and hence, have not achieved economies of scale.
For example, PHAs, which have various applications in binders, synthetic papers, medical devices, electronic parts, food packaging, and agriculture, have high production costs, low yields, and limited availability. PLAs, which have a much lower production cost than PHAs, are still more expensive than petroleum-based PE and PP. In general, bio-based materials are still at the development stage. They have not been commercialized to the same level as their petrochemical counterparts, which have been developing rapidly for more than 50 years.
The cost of biodegradable plastics varies from USD 2/kg to USD 6/kg compared with that of traditional plastics, which is approximately USD 1/kg to USD 2/kg. Higher R&D and production costs due to small-scale production and the significant price difference in comparison to traditional petroleum-based plastics are the key factors, which contribute to the low penetration of biodegradable plastics in various industries.
Opportunity: Development of new applications
With the increasing focus on sustainability and favorable government regulations for green procurement policies, biodegradable plastic manufacturers have significant opportunities in the new end-use industries such as electronics, medical, and automotive. The manufacturers are investing heavily in R&D activities for the use of biodegradable plastics in various applications in the medical industry, such as stitching materials, screws, and implants. Biodegradable plastics such as PLA and bio-PBS are used for manufacturing medical devices & equipment. Biodegradable plastics are used in tires with starch-based materials in the automotive industry to reduce fuel consumption. They are also used for making electrical equipment more efficient and cost-effective. The packaging application is also expected to witness significant growth. Biodegradable mulch films have an extensive application in the agriculture industry. Catering to the food products segment is a highly demanded and important application of biodegradable plastics, including trays, cutleries, and cups.
Initially, biodegradable plastics were used for niche products. The development of newer applications of biodegradable plastics is providing opportunities to its manufacturers.
Challenge: Performance issue
Low barrier properties to air, water, and oxygen and low resistance to heat are some of the major performance issues related to biodegradable plastics. This restricts its penetration in various industries, including electronics and automotive. In addition, poor mechanical properties such as low impact & tensile strength and process capabilities are restricting the penetration of biodegradable plastics in various applications. These performance limitations of biodegradable plastics act as a major challenge for the growth of the market.
In terms of value, the packaging is projected to account for the largest share of the biodegradable plastics market, by end-use industry, during the forecast period.
Packaging is the largest end-use industry for the application of biodegradable plastics. They accounted for the share of 53.5%, in 2020, for the global biodegradable plastics market. Increasing environmental regulations and changes in the lifestyle of consumers have increased the demand for biodegradable plastics in the packaging industry. Plastics have high durability and impermeability to water, which has encouraged their use in packaging. Packaging applications of biodegradable plastics include food packaging, healthcare packaging, cosmetic & personal care packaging, shopping bags, and others.
Focus of governments on green procurement policies and regulations to increase the demand for biodegradable plastics.
The growing need to reduce the dependency on conventional fossil fuels is propelling the demand for bio-based products. This is also supported by the new policies and regulations implemented and adopted by the government bodies globally. These regulations include banning or implementing additional surcharges on the use of conventional plastics in applications, such as shopping bags, packaging materials, and disposables. These increasing regulations and prohibitions against plastic bags and other plastic items are driving the market for bioplastics, especially biodegradable plastics, worldwide.
APAC is expected to be the second fastest-growing market during the forecast period.
Based on region, the biodegradable plastics market has been segmented into APAC, Europe, North America, RoW. . The growth of the biodegradable plastics market in APAC is attributed to the easy availability of raw materials used to manufacture biodegradable plastics. The future growth of biodegradable plastics in APAC highly depends on the awareness about the use of biodegradable plastics as a viable alternative to traditional plastics and price reduction.
