Based on type, the biodegradable plastics market is classified into PLA, Starch blends, PHA, Biodegradable polyesters, and others. Biodegradable plastics are derived from renewable sources or are based on monomers derived from renewable sources such as corn, potato, rice, soy, sugarcane, wheat, and vegetable oil. Polylactic acid (PLA) is considered one of the most important biodegradable plastics due to its good mechanical properties and easy processability. The raw materials required to manufacture PLA is also easily available. Such factors make PLA the largest segment of the biodegradable plastics market, and it is expected to grow at a rapid rate. Growing concerns related to environmental pollution and non-renewable finite petroleum resources are leading to the increasing use of biodegradable plastics.

Based on end user, packaging industry captures the larger part of market share in terms of volume and value during the forecast period, followed by textiles, consumer goods, agriculture & horticulture and other industries. The need for sustainable solutions has encompassed several industry verticals, including food & beverages, e-commerce, and FMCG.
