This growth is due to the growing regulations by governments towards green procurement policies for the purchase of sustainable and environment-friendly products (green products). Along with restrictions on the use of traditional plastics, governments are also offering incentives to companies that produce and promote green materials, which has led to the high growth of the PHA market.

The PHA co-polymer segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The PHA co-polymer segment is projected to be the fastest-growing from 2016 to 2021. This growth is attributed to the cost-effectiveness of the PHA co-polymers as compared to other types which includes PHA monomers, and PHA terpolymers, which is expected to drive the demand for PHA in the near future.

The packaging segment to account for the largest share in the PHA market

The packaging segment accounted for the largest market share in 2015, owing to stringent government regulations against recycling and waste management of petro-based plastics, which led to an increased consumption of biodegradable plastics such as PHA in packaging applications. PHA can replace traditional plastics in the near future and can be used in various types of packaging such as, rigid, flexible, and others.
