Starch Based Plastics Market by Type (Starch Blended with PLA, Starch Blended with PHA and Others); By Application (Agriculture and Horticulture, Automotive and Transportation, Packaging, Food and Beverage, Building and Construction, Electrical & Electronics, Textile and Others); and Region – Global Analysis of Market Size, Share & Trends for 2019–2021 and Forecasts to 2030



Product Overview
Polylactic acid, polybutylene adipate terephthalate, polybutylene succinate, polycaprolactone, and polyhydroxyalkanoates are among the biodegradable or compostable plastics used in starch-based plastics. They have a variety of characteristics, including high water resistance, processing, and mechanical properties. They can also accommodate a variety of physical qualities including tensile strength and heat tolerance. As a result, it is frequently employed as a substitute for traditional plastics. Automotive and transportation, agricultural, packaging, and consumer goods are just a few of the end-user applications for starch-based polymers.

Market Highlights
Global Starch based Plastics market is expected to project a notable CAGR of 4.1% in 2030.

The rising need for starch-based polymers in food packaging is a major factor driving the global industry forward. Because of their numerous qualities, such as longer shelf life, reduced food loss, and improved organoleptic aspects of food, starch-based polymers find use in food packaging and edible films. Environmental rules that apply to traditional plastic materials are also fueling the global market's expansion. However, the market's growth is hampered by the restricted production capacity and hydrophilic nature of starch-based polymers.

Global Starch based Plastics: Segments
Starch Blended with PLA to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30

Global Starch based Plastics market is segmented by type into Starch Blended with PLA, Starch Blended with PHA and Others. Starch Blended with PLA segment held the largest market share in the year 2020. The increased use of starch combined with PLA based bioplastic sheets in automotive, electronics, and agriculture applications is attributable to this rise. Package integrity, non-reactive with content, impermeable, versatile, and having high tensile strength are some of the advantages of using starch combined with PLA based bioplastic sheets. They are also 100 percent biodegradable and compostable. Because of its biocompatibility, low toxicity, oxygen barrier, water vapour barrier, degrading qualities, and mechanical capabilities, starch-based Bioplastics are widely used in a variety of industries.

Packaging segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30

Global Starch based Plastics market is divided by application into Agriculture and Horticulture, Automotive and Transportation, Packaging, Food and Beverage, Building and Construction, Electrical & Electronics, Textile and Others. Over the forecast period, the Packaging segment is projected to expand at the fastest pace. Massive amounts of packaging wind up in landfills, as well as unsustainable packaging products, are a major environmental concern. The packaging sector is increasing its need for bioplastic goods in order to address an environmental issue. Moreover, during the forecast period, the packaging industry's increased need for starch-based bioplastic flexible films would push the growth of this category. The flexible films have improved print and adhesive properties, allowing for high-speed lamination and good print quality.

Market Dynamics
Drivers

High demand for Starch based Plastics and increasing disposable income

The high demand for starch-based bioplastics is due to their water permeability and heat preservation properties, which make them ideal for use in agriculture because they reduce soil contamination and improve sustainability, which in turn increases the use of renewable raw materials derived from agro-industrial waste. Market expansion is aided by rising disposable income, rapid worldwide economic growth, and increased use in medical applications such as controlled medication release, space filled implants, and wound treatments.

Technological improvements and environment concerns

Due to technology improvements, the medical industry is predicted to increase rapidly, meeting market need. Mulch films are biopolymer films that are utilised in agriculture and horticulture. They keep humus in place and deliver the right amount of carbon to the soil. Concerns about the environment and low labour costs are projected to drive market expansion.

Restraint

Removing and disposing of plastic remnants and restricted production capacity

The main issue with using non-biodegradable plastic films is that they pollute soil when buried in landfills; also, removing and disposing of these plastic remnants from the field before or after harvest is an expensive and time-consuming process. The market's growth is hampered by the restricted production capacity and hydrophilic nature of starch-based polymers.
