Market Overview

The natural polymers known as biopolymers are created by living things and are made up of monomeric units that are covalently bound to form bigger structures. Biopolymers are polymeric goods made from raw materials such as corn and sugarcane, as well as standing lumber and leftover wood. Unlike traditional polymers or plastics, which cause pollution, biopolymers are biodegradable. It is anticipated that perceptions of the use of bio-based polymers would rise. Biopolymers are considered a more sustainable substitute to conventionally used petroleum-based plastics, since they can naturally decompose and do not cause harm to the environment. As consumers become more aware of the impact of their carbon footprint, they are also demanding more environmentally friendly products. Governments in the US are trying to reduce plastic waste by charging extra fees for single-use plastics and encouraging the use of natural packaging alternatives. As companies and consumers grow increasingly aware of the environmental effects of traditional petrochemical-based plastics, this trend is anticipated to persist over the projected period. Research and development (R&D) projects to enhance the production processes of biopolymers from agricultural feedstocks have received substantial funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Traditional petrochemical-based plastics contain dangerous substances that can contaminate food and beverages and cause a host of health issues.

Restraining Factors

The United States biopolymers market faces obstacles, like bioplastics being more expensive than conventional polymers. The cost of producing bio-based polymers is typically 20–100% more than that of conventional polymers.

Market Segmentation

The United States Biopolymers Market Share is classified into product and application.

• The bio-PE segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States biopolymers market is segmented by product into bio-PE, bio-PET, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), polylactic acid (PLA), polybutylene succinate (PBS), polysaccharides, and others. Among these, the bio-PE segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. Environmental concerns are the segment's driving force. Furthermore, the end-of-life issues with conventional plastics are resolved by biodegradable polyesters. Biodegradable polyesters can be used to create products that organically decompose, lowering the need for long-term disposal and promoting a circular economy.

• The bottles segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the United States biopolymers market is segmented into films, bottles, fibers, seed coating, vehicle components, medical implants, and other. Among these, the bottles segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The segment growth is propelled by the change in the consumption patterns of bio-based and renewable plastics. Because they are environmentally benign, biopolymers like PLA are being employed more and more in the production of bottles.
