What is Bio-Based Polymers Market?
Biopolymers are produced by biological systems such as microorganisms, plants, and animals or chemically synthesized from biological starting materials such as sugars, starch, natural fats or oils, etc. These polymers are also known as next-generation polymers that are used to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Cellulose and starch were the firstly invented bio-based polymers and used in textile, packaging and other applications.
The market study is being classified by Type (Polylactic Acid, Polyhydroxyalkanoates, Starch, Cellulose-Based Biopolymer, Chitin, Protein and Others), by Application (Agriculture, Textile, Electronics, Healthcare, Packaging, Others, Food Industry, Chemical Industry, Automotive Industry and Others) and major geographies with country level break-up.
