The global renewable chemicals market is estimated to reach US$ 59 billion in 2014 from about US$ 45 billion in 2009. The driving behind the growth of the renewable chemicals market is the low requirement of capital for both production as well as feedstock. Moreover, consumer demand for ‘green’ products has also been driving the market for renewable chemicals, along with governmental support to the industry for reducing dependence on finite non-renewable petroleum feedstock as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The growth of industrial biotechnology has also contributed to the growth of the overall renewable chemicals market due to their innovations in biocatalysis for manufacturing renewable chemicals. Apart from their industrial applications, renewable chemicals are also used in pharmaceutical and consumer products. In light of all these factors, the renewable chemicals industry is expected to weather the recent economic recession.

Foreseeing the rising importance of renewable chemicals, major players in the chemicals industry such as Dow and BASF have already begun focusing on this market. Though the alcohols segment holds the largest share in the overall renewable chemicals market, the polymers segment is expected to gain the maximum growth rate for the next five years. Bio-polymers are expected to command a significant share in the overall polymers market mostly due to their applications in the manufacture of biodegradable and compostable plastics and consumer goods such as cell phones and laptops. Platform chemicals also play an important role in the renewable chemicals market since their multiple functional groups can be converted to families of other highly useful chemicals.
