Deerfield Beach, FL, July 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zion Market Research has published a new report titled “Biodegradable Polymer Market (Polymers with Carbon Backbones, Polymers with Hydrolyzable Backbones and Natural Polymers) for Packaging, Agricultural, Medical and Other Applications: Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis, and Forecast, 2014 – 2020”. According to the report, global biodegradable polymer market was valued at around USD 1.68 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach approximately USD 5.18 billion in 2020, growing at a CAGR of slightly above 21.0% between 2015 and 2020.
Polymers are compounds with a long chain of monomers formed by chemical reactions. Polymers are composed of a large number of repeating units and high molar mass. Biodegradable polymers are the polymers which can be broken down into simple, reusable, natural products after their intended purpose. Biodegradable polymers are non-toxic, environment-friendly, capable of maintaining integrity until degraded and their degradation rate can be controlled. Degradation of biodegradable polymers is mainly done with the help of micro organism. Biodegradable polymers after breakdown give the natural byproduct such as carbon dioxide, biomass, and water.

Rising demand for biodegradable and bio based products due to sustainable development policies and growing concern for use of environmentally friendly product is the main driver for the biodegradable polymer market. Government support to produce eco-friendly biodegradable polymer is also the key factor for the growth of the market. Escalating price of crude oil which is raw material for the production of the petroleum based polymer also helps in driving the demand of biodegradable polymers. However biodegradable polymers have few applications to replace synthetic petroleum based plastic materials and high manufacturing cost and failure in production of accurate biodegradable polymers may influence the market growth. Rising end-user applications and economical raw material price for biodegradable polymers are offering potential market opportunity in the years to come.
The biodegradable polymer market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. Polymers with hydrolyzable backbone, polymers with a carbon backbone and natural polymers are the types of biodegradable polymers. Polymers with a hydrolyzable backbone are classified as polyglycolic acid (PGA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyamides, polyurethanes, others in which polyglycolic acid (PGA) is the widely used followed by polyamides and polyurethane. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is one kind of polymers with a carbon backbone, whereas amylopectin, starch, amylose, chitin and chitosan and others are types of natural polymers. Starch based polymers are one of the leading segment due to easy availability, and extensive application in food packaging.
