Bioplastics are plastics that are made from renewable sources such as corn, sugarcane, potato, wheat, rice, vegetable oil, or cellulose. There are two types of bioplastics, namely biodegradable plastics and non-biodegradable plastics. Biodegradable plastics include polylactic acid, starch blends, PBAT, and PBS, while non-biodegradable plastics include polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide, and polytrimethylene terephthalate.
Bioplastic packaging is considered to be an environment-friendly solution and helps enhance the final product’s appearance. Growing usage of bioplastics in flexible packaging is expected to fuel market growth. The growing demand for food, due to the rising global population, is a key factor driving the demand for flexible packaging. Moreover, the packaged food industry in the U.S. and Europe has grown tremendously in recent years. Furthermore, increasing concerns regarding toxins in petrochemicals, along with depleting crude oil reserves, are driving the development of bio-based polymers.
Regulations by most governments restricting the consumption of petroleum-based plastics in certain applications such as food packaging and medical devices are expected to further incentivize bioplastic production in the plastics industry. However, the high cost as compared to conventional plastics is a major factor restraining the market growth. Currently, low prices of conventional plastics are making it difficult for bioplastics to achieve competitive pricing.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Bioplastics Market
The global economy was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 due to the implementation of nationwide lockdowns and social distancing measures worldwide. All economic activities, including manufacturing throughout value chains and investments, came to a halt.
The pandemic, like other industries, also impacted the bioplastic industry. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were unavoidable negative shifts due to a surge in demand for single-use plastics for manufacturing face shields or personal protective equipment and food and groceries delivery packaging. For instance, the Japanese Ministry of Finance, Trade, and Industry recorded that more than 600 million face masks were required in April 2020.

Also, according to the World Health Organization, an increase of 40% in manufacturing capacity was needed due to the increased demand for surgical masks, examination gloves, and goggles when the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak. Furthermore, virgin plastic became cheaper than biodegradable plastics due to a decline in oil prices in 2020, negatively impacting the demand for bioplastics.
However, the relaxations of social distancing norms and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic with the resumption of logistics and production facilities are expected to provide bioplastics companies with significant growth opportunities in the coming years. Furthermore, the demand for bioplastics is expected to gradually increase to avoid the utilization of single-use plastics.
There are several emerging initiatives to promote a green recovery, which are expected to speed up the production of bioplastics. For instance, the European Union is working towards the 2050 net-zero emissions goal. This initiative was aimed at tackling the ever-growing environmental and sustainability crisis by implementing the European Green Deal.
