Biodegradable polymers are those that, when broken down by microbes, produce natural substances such carbon dioxide, water, and biomass. They are eco-friendly and serve as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics. Degradation happens through various methods, such as hydrolysis or microbial activity, depending on the polymer's structure and the environment.
In the medical field, biodegradable polymers are particularly useful because they can safely degrade in the body. Polylactic acid (PLA) and polyglycolic acid (PGA) are common in making dissolvable sutures, which don’t require removal surgery. They are also used in drug delivery systems, where the polymer degrades to release medication steadily.
According to SPER market research, ‘Global Biodegradable Polymers Market Size- By Type, By Application - Regional Outlook, Competitive Strategies and Segment Forecast to 2034’ state that the Global Biodegradable Polymers Market is predicted to reach 69.3 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 21.83%.
Drivers:
The market for biodegradable polymers is expected to expand due to the food and beverage industry's need for biodegradable packaging. This rise is fueled by environmental concerns, regulatory pressures, technology advancements, and changing consumer preferences for sustainable packaging. Governments worldwide are enforcing strict regulations to reduce plastic pollution, including bans on single-use plastics and recycling mandates. These policies will likely boost the demand for biodegradable polymers, especially in industries that heavily use plastic.

Restraints:
Biodegradable polymers have environmental benefits such as less pollution and better resource use, but they tend to be more expensive. Their production requires renewable materials, special manufacturing processes, and meeting strict environmental rules, which raise costs. Also, the smaller production scale compared to regular plastics prevents cost savings from being fully realized.
This higher cost makes it hard for biodegradable polymers to become widely accepted. It makes them less competitive in low-cost markets, and businesses may avoid investing in them if they seem too expensive. Consumers used to cheaper plastics might resist paying more for biodegradable options if the environmental benefits seem unclear.
Asia Pacific led the global biodegradable polymers market in 2024, with China as the main player due to its large-scale manufacturing, high demand for eco-friendly products, and supportive government policies. India also plays a significant role, boosted by growing industries, consumer awareness, and favorable government initiatives for renewable materials. Some of the key market players are BASF, Biome Technologies, Borealis Group, Changsu, Corbion, Evonik Health Care, FKuR, and others.
