Biobased Propylene Market Size, Share | Analysis by 2028

The biobased propylene market size is expected to be valued at US$ 63.71 million in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 83.69 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2023 to 2028.

Biobased propylene is considered a substitute for synthetic propylene, which is mostly used to produce polypropylene. The increased focus of manufacturing companies on sustainable manufacturing processes has led to a rise in emphasis on the development of biobased propylene.

Europe is expected to dominate the global biobased propylene market in 2023 and retain its dominance during the forecast period. Increased government support and rise in initiatives regarding the adoption of biobased plastics are leading to an increased demand for biobased polypropylene. The European Union (EU) promotes the application of biobased, biodegradable, and compostable plastics to contribute to a sustainable plastics economy. Along with the increased government support, the rise in demand for bioplastics from the packaging industry in Europe has led to the increasing adoption of biobased polypropylene. Thus, these factors positively impact the market across the region. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region for the bio-based propylene market. The increase in awareness owing to the rising hazards of conventional plastics on the environment and overall economy, coupled with rising government support such as funding and financial assistance is helping in developing the bio-based propylene market across the region.

Market Insights

Rising Government Support

The rise in government support related to the adoption of biobased materials has led manufacturers to develop biobased products such as biobased propylene. The increased initiatives from various governments worldwide for the adoption of biobased plastics will drive the market growth. The EU promotes the application of biobased, biodegradable, and compostable plastics to contribute to a sustainable plastics economy. Through its initiatives, the government of Japan has led to increased development of products made from biodegradable bioplastics and subsidized companies that produce paper alternatives to plastic. The rising government support for the adoption of biobased plastics will positively impact the market. Along with this, The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is involved in and supporting various programs which are focused on increasing the research, development, and buyer/consumer awareness of bioplastics. The USDA’s BioPreferred Program works to raise the consumption and usage of biobased products through federal procurement and a certification and labeling initiative.

Derivative Insights

Based on derivative, the biobased propylene market is segmented into polypropylene, propylene oxide, acrylonitrile, cumene, and others. In 2023, the polypropylene segment is expected to dominate the global market. Various applications of polypropylene, including bottles, food containers, cosmetic packaging, automotive components and parts, medical equipment, fibers, and films, are driving the demand for polypropylene. The increase in awareness of global warming and the depletion of fossil fuels have led manufacturers to develop biobased propylene, which can, in turn, be used to produce biobased polypropylene.
