The biochemical market is anticipated to experience significant growth due to the rising demand for bio-based products. These products are derived from renewable biological resources, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms, offering sustainable alternatives to traditional petrochemicals and contributing to environmental conservation. A report by the Organic Trade Association revealed that the U.S. organic food market achieved a record-breaking $61.7 billion in sales in 2022, marking a 4.4% increase from $59.1 billion in 2021. Additionally, the global bioplastics production capacity is expected to surge from 2.2 million metric tons in 2022 to around 6.3 million metric tons by 2027, as reported by European Bioplastics. This escalating demand for bio-based products is a key driver behind the growth of the biochemical market.
The biochemicals market is poised for expansion owing to the increasing need for clean and renewable fuel sources. These sources, also known as renewable energy or green fuels, harness biochemicals to convert organic materials such as biomass and algae into biofuels and biogases. This process provides an environmentally friendly and sustainable energy alternative, reducing harmful emissions and lessening dependence on fossil fuels. The International Energy Agency reported a projected 6% increase in global biofuel demand, equivalent to 9.1 billion liters per year, between 2021 and 2022. Hence, the heightened demand for clean and renewable fuel sources is a driving force behind the growth of the biochemical market.
Major companies operating in the biochemical market are increasing their focus on introducing products such as biobased precursors to gain a competitive edge in the market. A biobased precursor is a substance derived from renewable biological sources, such as plants, animals, or microorganisms, that serves as a starting point or raw material for the production of bio-based products. For instance, in July 2022, Advanced Biochemical, a Thailand-based biochemical company, launched a new brand called Epinity, which is a bio-based, drop-in, and competitive epichlorohydrin (ECH) used in a wide range of downstream industries. Epinity is used as a precursor to epoxy resins, which have various applications, including marine coatings, powder coatings, auto refinishing, metal coatings, and industrial adhesives. The launch of Epinity is a significant development in the biochemical industry since it provides a sustainable alternative to traditional ECH and other chemical compounds.
Leading firms in the biochemical market are escalating their efforts to introduce innovative sustainable products, including biobased sustainable additives, to enhance their competitive advantage. Biobased sustainable additives are naturally derived or renewable chemical compounds sourced from plants, agriculture, or other organic materials. They are employed to improve the properties, performance, or environmental sustainability of various products, materials, or processes. For example, in March 2023, BYK, a subsidiary of Altana AG, a Germany-based chemicals company, unveiled a new series of bio-based sustainable additives named CERAFLOUR. These additives are crafted to impart a natural appearance, as well as silky and matte surfaces, to coatings utilized in wood and furniture, coil, and architectural coatings.
In August 2023, UPM Biochemicals GmbH, a biochemical company based in Germany, successfully acquired SunCoal Industries GmbH for an undisclosed sum.
