Global Bio-Renewable Chemicals Market Size study & Forecast, by Type (Glycerol, Lactic Acid, Succinic Acid, Acetone, Others), by Application (Packaging, Food and Beverages, Personal Care and Cosmetics, Chemical Industry, Others) and Regional Analysis, 2022-2029
Global Bio-Renewable Chemicals Market is valued at approximately USD 2.5 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 11.6% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Bio-Renewable Chemicals refer to Chemicals which are created by living things and are used as chemical industry feedstock. The petroleum-based carbon feedstocks that currently power the chemical industry could be replaced with solar-powered bio-renewable compounds. The chemical business may be driven by the large variety of enzymes found in biological organisms and the potential for synthetic biology to alter these enzymes to develop novel chemical activities. A key building block for the creation of novel molecules is the polyketide biosynthetic pathway, which produces compounds made up of repeating alkyl chain units with the potential for a wide variety of functional groups at the various carbon atoms. The increasing expansion of personal care & cosmetics industry and growing awareness towards sustainability and environmental protection activities are key factors accelerating the market growth.
The growing expansion of personal care and cosmetics is contributing towards the growth of the Global Bio-Renewable Chemicals Market. For instance – according to Statista - as of 2023, the revenue in the global beauty & personal care market is estimated at USD 571.10 billion, and as per projections, the market would grow annually by 3.80% between 2023 and 2027 to reach USD 661.82 billion by end of 2027. Also, favorable government initiatives to promote the use of biochemicals and growing pollution levels worldwide would create a lucrative growth prospectus for the market over the forecast period. However, the high processing costs and complex manufacturing processes of Bio-Renewable Chemicals stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
The key regions considered for the Global Bio-Renewable Chemicals Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific dominated the market in terms of revenue, owing to the dominance of leading market players and growing demand for biochemicals from bioplastics manufacturers in the region. Whereas Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to factors such as rising number of favorable initiatives from leading market players as well as increasing demand for bio-renewable chemicals such as glycerin, acetone from end-use industries in the region.
