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.
