Dublin, Nov. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bio-Plastics Markets - 2013 Report
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5jwq54/bioplastics)
has announced the addition of the "Bio-Plastics
Markets 2012" report to their offering.
This report analyzes and quantifies the business opportunities
available for Bio plastics in the polymer industry and along with
it, discusses their applications. We also discuss the major players
in the Bio plastic space and also identify the latest trends in Bio
plastics. Apart from sharing the market share region wise, we have
highlighted the market share based on the major types of Bio
plastics.
The focal point is on the following resin chemistries:
- Polylactic acid (PLA)
- Thermoplastic starch
- Bio-polyamides
- Poly hydroxyalkanoates (PHA)
- Cellulose
- Bio-polyethylene
- Bio-polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
For the past 2 years starch based Bio plastics and PLA based Bio
plastics have witnessed increased growth. The demand for starch
based and PLA based Bio plastics will rise by 2 times in the next 2
years, but with PHA having entered into commercial scale it has
given route to its use in many Bio plastic applications because of
its numerous unique properties. Many projects are going on which
carter to the entry of Bio plastics into medical, electronics and
automotive applications and a slew of innovative products to be
launched in Bio plastics in the coming years.
This report provides the key decision makers with the current
developments in the Bio plastics, the market potential and the
growth for next 8 years. The data would be a driver for the fast
growing Polymer Industry as we have provided insights into the use
of renewable resources to create monomers that replace fossil-based
monomers, such as feedstock's made from sugarcane that are used to
manufacture polyester and polyethylene. These resources could
enable many fossil based product manufacturers to change their
direction towards Bio plastics in the future and also have thrown
light onto the issues (climate change, littering, unawareness of
the benefits of the bio plastics, feedstock availability and
municipality actions) which exist in the present Bio
plastics markets.
