Biodegradable plastic is a type of material that can be decomposed by living organisms such as bacteria. It is commonly made using raw materials or petrochemicals. Plastic made with petrochemicals contain biodegradable additives that helps in the process of decomposition. Biodegradable plastic takes less time to break down as it is made up of eco-friendly material. This material also requires very less energy for production and it is easily recyclable. Biodegradable plastic does not have harmful effects on the environment and they do not affect other living organisms from soil and water.

Growing environmental awareness and rising popularity of ecofriendly packaging material are major factors anticipated to boost the demand of biodegradable plastics and drives the growth of the global biodegradable plastics market. Advantages of biodegradable plastic over non-degradable and non-decomposable plastic as non-degradable plastic creates major waste management problems and are causing land, water, air pollution, which also propel the growth of the global market. Stringent rules and regulations by various regulatory authorities and governments on the usage of conventional plastic non-degradable plastic, also bolster the use of biodegradable plastics and drives the market growth over the forecast period. Ongoing research and development activities to create more efficient, biodegradable packaging and growing adoption of ecofriendly alternatives among consumer are factors expected to drive expected to drive the growth of the global market in the near future.

However, high cost and less durability of the biodegradable plastics product is a factor expected to hamper the growth of the global biodegradable plastics market.

Development of a new range of low cost and highly resistant, biodegradable plastic products can create higher revenue opportunities for target players in the market.

The Europe accounts for largest market share in terms of revenue, owing to the presence of major manufacturing companies in the region and rising environmental concerns. The North America is expected to account for a second-highest share in terms of revenue, due to increasing environmental awareness among individuals in the region. The market in Asia Pacific region is anticipated to register a significant growth in terms of revenue over the forecast period, owing to stringent government rules against the use of non-degradable plastic and rising popularity of ecofriendly products among individuals.
