Bioplastics in India Market: Market Research by Knowledge Sourcing Intelligence
Bioplastics in India Market:
Packaging Application Hold a Significant Market Share
Introduction
Bioplastics
are the plastics that are manufactured from biomass sources including corn
starch, vegetable fats, and oils. They are extensively used in both disposable,
and non-disposable items. Disposable items include crockery, pots, and straws,
while the non-disposable items include fibers, plastic piping, and insulation
car interiors among others. The overall impact on the environment due to the
use of bioplastics is significantly lower than that of conventional plastics,
so these are considered to be eco-friendly that is increasing the
bioplastics in India market size.
Drivers and restraints of Bioplastics in
India Market
The bioplastics
in India market growth is driven by favorable government regulations. For
instance, the Indian Government has proposed a plan to ban the use of
single-use plastic throughout the country. This will augment the demand for
bioplastics in India. Also, the notification in Plastic Waste Management Rules,
2016 on non-compostable plastic bags is an important regulation contributing to
market growth. The bioplastics in India market trend in India is
expected to be positive on account of the rising environmental concern
regarding the pollution caused by plastics. Furthermore, the wide utilization
of bioplastics by various industry verticals such as construction, textiles,
and automotive among others is also contributing to the increasing demand for
bioplastics. However, the lack of awareness among the consumers and high cost
as compared to its alternative due to the increasing cost of raw material may
act as a restraining factor for the growth of the market. Poor waste processing
infrastructure in India may also hamper the growth of the market.
Market Segmentation
According
to supply chain studies, conducted by Knowledge Sourcing Intelligence, the
bioplastics in India market is segmented by type and application. By type, the
market is segmented into biodegradable bioplastics and non-biodegradable
bioplastics. Biodegradable plastic is further segmented into polyester,
polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), starch blends, and others.
The non-biodegradable plastic segment is further segmented into bio-PE
(polyethylene), bio-PET (polythene terephthalate), bio-PA (polyamide), and
others. Bio-PET is projected to hold a significant share of bioplastics in
India market share and is also expected to grow at a rapid rate. By
application, the market is segmented into construction, packaging, agriculture,
textile, automotive, FMCG, and others. The packaging segment is expected to
have a significant market share owing to the rising demand for disposable cups,
bottles, and bags.
