Key Drivers of Market Growth

The market is primarily driven by PBAT's acceptance as an alternative to Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), especially for packaging applications. PBAT offers similar resistance and flexibility to LDPE, making it a preferred choice for packing bags. Additionally, favorable government policies promoting green procurement and the increasing use of biodegradable plastics in packaging contribute to market growth. Consumer demand for packaged food, which boosts the need for cling bags, also plays a significant role. Unlike conventional plastics, PBAT breaks down over 90% within six months of being buried, compared to more than a century for ordinary plastic.

Market Developments

Recent developments in the PBAT market include notable acquisitions and expansions. In January 2020, BASF SE acquired Solvay's polyamide business, enhancing its presence in North and South America, as well as Asia. This acquisition included eight production facilities across Germany, France, China, India, South Korea, Brazil, and Mexico. Additionally, South Korea's SKC Ltd. has obtained an Investment Registration Certificate to build the world's largest biodegradable plastic production plant in Haiphong, Vietnam.

Challenges in the Market

Despite the growth, the PBAT market faces challenges, particularly the high cost of polymerization for biodegradable plastics. Many of the technologies required for PBAT production are still in early research stages and have not achieved economies of scale. The manufacturing process of PBAT is complex and requires specialized equipment and methods, contributing to higher production costs compared to conventional plastics.
