The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic conditions have severely affected every sector around the world. Whereas, the chemicals and materials sectors were moderately affected during the pandemic. This is primarily due to the uncut demand for chemicals for healthcare, life science, and cleaning agents. However, other elements of chemical and material sectors such as paints, industrial oil, construction materials are facing diminution in demand. Strict lockdown resulted in a nearly 50-60% reduction in supply for raw materials, which directly affected the manufacturing process. Further, halt on many end-use industries directly affected the chemical demand all around the world.
Bio Plasticizers Market Overview
The global Bio Plasticizers Market was worth $1.4 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $2.2 billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 5.41% between 2023 and 2030.
Global Bio Plasticizers Market is projected to witness significant growth due to rising awareness about the health risks of conventionally used plasticizers, such as phthalates. Phthalates are soluble in organic solvents such as saliva, hence they become dangerous when used in objects. Eventually, they are very hazardous for both children and adults. Therefore, polymers treated with bio plasticizers used in several applications, including food packaging and medical products. This key fact remarkably contributing to the growth of the market.
Additionally, bio plasticizers have the largest demand in medical devices, packaging materials, and consumer goods. Also, the use of bio plasticizers in widely popular polymers such as PVC and the continuous development of safer and more effective bio plasticizers has improved the market for polymers such as PVC. These major factors are hugely boosting the growth of the market.
On the downside, the high cost of raw materials used to produce bio plasticizers is hampering the growth of the market. Besides this, rising research & development activities, increasing application of bio plasticizers in developing countries, and inclination towards sustainable development are projected to create gainful opportunities for the Global Bio Plasticizers Market’s expansion in the next few years.
Bio Plasticizers Market Segment Overview
Based on the product, the Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESBO) segment is occupying the maximum market share. ESBO is manufactured from soybean oil through the process of epoxidation. ESBO is one of the additives in the PVC gasket. ESBO is also used in PVC cling films for wrapping foods and toys. Moreover, the building & construction application segment is expected to show significant growth in the market. Bio-plasticizers are broadly utilized for thermal insulation panels, architectural molds & sculptures, and other construction materials including bonding agents, adhesives, sealants, flooring, and roofing supplies.
Bio Plasticizers Market Regional Overview
Region-wise, North America and Europe are the major markets for bio plasticizers. Some crucial factors such as steady government support to environment-friendly initiatives, technological development of medical devices, and continued expansion of consumer goods industries are remarkably driving the growth of the market in these regions. Likewise, the developing regions such as the Asia Pacific and the Middle East will also be lucrative markets over the forecast period. This is due to the increasing demand for consumer goods, medical materials, and wires and cables in these regions.
