据ICIS网站11月18日消息 据一家全球市场情报公司估计，全球生物塑料市场价值将达约2150亿美元，在2020-2027年间以25.8%的复合年增长率增长。
Coherent市场洞察在一份声明中称，消费者和政府对环境日益关注是增长的主要推动力。
生物塑料是由非生物物质来源制成，如木材中的纤维素等。与传统塑料不同，生物塑料可以在较短的时间内降解。
随着对环境污染问题的日益关注，重点鼓励塑料生产企业引进生物塑料。这种对生物基包装的日益增长的需求预计将促进生物塑料市场的增长。
据报道，2019年生物塑料在欧洲市场的应用占53%。
欧洲、北美和亚洲等国家禁止一次性使用塑料，这也支撑了生物塑料需求的增长。
2019年，欧洲议会投票通过禁止一次性使用塑料餐具、吸管和搅拌器，作为减少海滩和海洋塑料污染的全面法律的一部分。
这项法律将于2021年在所有欧盟成员国生效。
各成员国还将采取其他措施减少塑料的使用，目标是到2025年使塑料瓶的回收率达到25%。到2029年，大约90%的塑料瓶应被回收利用。
生物塑料市场正在努力提高生产能力，以满足不断增长的需求。
例如，Danimer Scientific最近同意上市，使这家位于美国的可再生聚羟基脂肪酸（PHA）生产商在2025年前将产能从目前的2000万磅/年扩大到约2亿磅/年（90718吨/年）。

Global bioplastic market estimated to grow to $215bn by 2027
The global bioplastic market is estimated to account for US $215bn in terms of value, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 25.8% during 2020-2027, according to a global market intelligence firm.
The growing environmental concerns from consumers and governments alike are a prime driver for growth, said Coherent Market Insights in a statement.
Bioplastics are made from non-biological biomass sources like cellulose found in wood. Unlike traditional plastics, the bioplastics can degrade in a shorter period.
The increasing concern with environmental pollution has encouraged key manufacturers to introduce bio-based plastic. This growing demand for bio-based packaging is projected to foster growth in the bioplastic market.
Packaging remains the biggest application for bioplastics with about 53% of the total bioplastics market in 2019, according to a report from European Bioplastics.
Single-use plastic bans across countries such as Europe, North America, and Asia have supported the growing demand for bioplastics.
In 2019, the European parliament voted to ban single-use plastic cutlery, straws and stirrers as part of a sweeping law to reduce plastic pollution of beaches and oceans.
The law will come into effect by 2021 in all EU member states.
The members will also implement other measures to reduce the use of plastic, aiming to make plastic bottles out of 25% recycled content by 2025, and by 2029 around 90% of bottles should be recycled.
The bioplastic market is working on increasing production capacity to meet growing demand.
For instance, Danimer Scientific recently agreed to go public, enabling the US-based producer of renewable polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) to expand production capacity to about 200m lb/year (90,718 tonnes/year) by 2025, from currently 20m lb/year.
