The Bioplastics Market was valued at USD 2.06 trillion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 5.63 trillion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 18.3%. Global market volume is estimated to increase from 2,431.9 kilotons in 2024 to reach 5,634.6 kilotons by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3% from 2024 through 2029.

The growing packaging, automotive, textile and agriculture industries have established novel prospects for the bioplastics manufacturing industries. Technological advances in engineering plastics, agricultural mulching, electronics casings and manufacturing techniques create new doors for the bioplastics industry. The availability of raw materials and modest production procedures are prompting small and medium polymer producers to enter the market. Corporate sustainability initiatives further prompt global traditional plastics manufacturers to enter the bioplastics market. Global players in the market are reducing their dependency on fossil fuels and focusing on renewable raw materials for bioplastic production. These drivers provide an ideal environment for the market expansion of bioplastics.
