Global bioplastic market is estimated to account for US$ 215 Bn by the end Of 2027, says Coherent Market Insights (CMI)

A bioplastic material is a biological product made out of non-biological biomass sources, such as cellulose from wood. Unlike traditional plastics, bioplastic materials are made over many different processes. Some biodegradable bio-plastic may degrade within a 180 day period, provided the right environment exists. Other bioplastics degrade over a much longer period, however, and they require special processes to make them more eco-friendly.

The global bioplastic market is estimated to account for US$ 215 Bn in terms of value, growing at a CAGR of 25.8% during forecast period 2020-2027.

Market Drivers:

Growing environmental concerns is a prime factor driving market growth of bioplastic. Increasing demand for bio-based packaging materials from packaging industry is also projected to foster the market growth of bioplastic. Moreover, growing environmental pollution has encouraged key manufacturers to introduce bio-based plastic. Furthermore, rising health-related issues due to the burning of plastic is again expected to augment the market growth of the bioplastic.

The rise in the various manufacturing industries such as textile, agriculture, automotive & transportation, consumer goods, and building & construction has boosted the market growth. Bio plastic exhibit a unique and potential properties that helps in reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions effectively. Moreover, increasing strict rules and regulation across countries such as Europe and the U.S. has also contributed to market growth. Additionally, increasing investment in the research and development in the field of bioplastics is further anticipated to accelerate market growth.

Market Opportunities

Growing demand for the bioplastic packaging industry due to growing awareness regarding the benefits of bioplastic is projected to bring new market opportunities over the forecast period. According to the report from European Bioplastics, the packaging remains the largest field of application for bioplastics with almost 53 percent (1.14 million tons) of the total bio plastics market in 2019. Thus, growing demand for bio plastic from the packaging industry is projected to uplift the market growth of bio plastic.

Increasing production capacity of bio plastic around the globe in order to cater to rising demand from various end-user industries is projected to offer profitable market opportunities. For instance, in August 2018, Kaneka Corporation has announced its plan to expand a manufacturing facility of a biodegradable polymer. The production capacity will be about 5,000 tons per year with an investment amount of 2.5 billion yen. Kaneka Biodegradable Polymer PHBH”, is derived from 100% plants and has superior biodegradability

Market Trends

Single-use plastic ban across countries such as Europe, North America, and Asia has significantly supported the demand for bioplastic. For instance, recently the European parliament has approved a new ban on single-use plastic cutlery, cotton buds, straws, and stirrers as part of a sweeping law against plastic waste that despoils beaches and pollutes oceans. The members will implement rule include measure to reduce the use of plastic, by 2025, plastic bottles should be made of 25% recycled content, and by 2029 90% of them should be recycled.

The growing trend of using bioplastic for producing electronic device covers, semiconductor casings, connectors, and circuit boards is expected to supplement the market growth. This can be done by using injection molding and bioplastic can be also be used to develop games consoles, vacuum cleaners, touch screen computer casings, headphones, keyboards, loudspeakers, laptops, mobile phone casings, etc.

Texprocess 2026: Automation, digitalisation and AI redefine textile processing

Making investment decisions in textile processing has become significantly more demanding. Increasing energy costs, a shortage of skilled labour and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties are compelling companies to focus on technologies that deliver clear gains in efficiency and process reliability. This applies equally to apparel manufacturing and to the processing of technical textiles and high-performance materials. As a result, modernisation initiatives are assessed more carefully – even as the need to upgrade production systems continues to intensify.

Techtextil 2026: Between innovation pressure & market reality

From 21 to 24 April 2026, Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main will once again become the central meeting point for the international technical textiles and nonwovens industry. Running in parallel, Texprocess will focus on the industrial implementation of textile processing technologies as the leading platform in this field. Together, the two trade fairs form a closely integrated presentation and working platform along the entire textile value chain – from material development to finished applications.

Between geopolitical pressure and industrial resilience

In this interview, Dr. Janpeter Horn (VDMA) discusses the current challenges facing textile machinery manufacturers, shaped by geopolitical tensions, regulatory developments and subdued investment. He also outlines why innovation strength, integrated solutions and strategic positioning remain key to global competitiveness.

Fluff pulp market maintains steady growth

Despite being impacted by political and economic woes, the global fluff pulp market in 2024 will reach 7.3 million air dried tonnes with a value of $9.7 billion, according to a new Smithers produced study, The Future of Fluff Pulp to 2029. This is up from 6.2 million air dried tonnes valued at $5.5 billion in 2019.

Economic and geopolitical headwinds influence industrial nonwovens growth to 2029

The global consumption of industrial nonwovens in 2024 is 5.3 million tonnes or 83.4 billion square metres (m2), valued at $21.2 billion, according to The Future of Industrial Nonwovens to 2029 from Smithers. Growth rates for 2019-24 were 6.9% (tonnes), 6.9% (m2) and 6.7% ($). This reflects a recovery in some markets from Covid-19 as well as an adjustment to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and its repercussions (inflation, energy supply/price, global economic growth reductions).

BTMA backs global growth while investing in future UK leaders

As one of a number of new initiatives launched this year, the British Textile Machinery Association (BTMA) is launching the UK-India Textile Machinery Coalition. The UK-India Free Trade Agreement, signed in July 2025, has implications that extend across sourcing, competitiveness and long-term trade dynamics, believes BTMA CEO Jason Kent.

China projected to increase cotton production, yields, and imports in 2026/27

World cotton production in the 2026/27 season is projected at 25.9 million tonnes, exceeding global consumption of 25.2 million tonnes, according to the May 2026 issue of Cotton This Month. That means both production and consumption are expected to remain close to current season levels, while global cotton trade is projected to decline by 2.7% to approximately 9.6-9.7 million tonnes.
