Opportunity: High potential in emerging economies

Bioplastics and biopolymers market players are actively employing both organic and inorganic strategies to fuel their growth. Recent years have witnessed significant strategic developments in the emerging markets of Asia-Pacific. For example, in 2019, Total-Corbion established a PLA plant in Rayong, Thailand, with an annual production capacity of 75,000 tons. Similarly, Mitsubishi Chemical Holding Corporation (Japan) and Lenovo Group Limited (China) formed a joint venture to produce bioplastic-based smartphone components. Additionally, Indonesia is exploring bioplastic alternatives, such as seaweed. Local player Evoware offers patented seaweed-based packaging, anticipating an increase in environmental regulations that will drive demand for bioplastics in Asia-Pacific countries. Furthermore, Southeast Asia benefits from abundant bio-based feedstock, ensuring a sustainable supply of raw materials for bioplastic production. Consequently, regulatory developments and the availability of feedstock are poised to sustain the demand for bioplastics in the region in the forecast period.
