Furthermore, increasing support for producing eco-friendly biodegradable polymers has gained traction from petroleum-based polymers to biodegradable and eco-friendly polymers. High usage of these polymers in the healthcare segment such as surgical sutures, tissue regeneration, wound dressings, and enzyme immobilization has shown rapid growth in the Biodegradable Polymer Market.
Government emphasis on efficient plastic waste management
Most of the governments are prioritizing an increase in plastic waste management with the mass consumption of products which have short life-spans. This major factor is leading the rapid market growth. Various initiatives brought by government lead to a steady demand for these products that has brought up significant expansion in the Biodegradable Polymer Market. This waste takes up valuable real estate space and often ends up in landfills or dumping grounds that have grave environmental. The Federal Farm Bill Energy Title was enforced by the U.S. government agencies, which requires attainment to involve only bio-based products. Such initiatives taken by the government are projected to propel the market extension.
Restraints
High manufacturing cost for biodegradable polymers
High manufacturing cost for biodegradable polymers may act as a primary factor to restraint the Biodegradable Polymer Market growth. The high cost of biodegradable polymers which is more than the double of conventional polymers is compelling the customer’s demand for biodegradable polymers. Conventional polymers having cheaper prices can restrain the growth of Biodegradable Polymers Market. Technology barriers is another component to make the biodegradable polymers cheaper in price, which will hinder the market expansion. Moreover, the flagging of R&D activities due to the economic recession due to the COVID-19 outbreak has expected an adverse effect on the Biodegradable Polymer Market.
