The biopolymers market is expected to grow from US$ 4,600 million in 2022 to US$ 14,000 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.5% from 2022 to 2028.
Biopolymers are polymers that are obtained from living organisms and are entirely biodegradable. A few common examples of biopolymers include proteins, carbohydrates, DNA, RNA, lipids, nucleic acids, and peptides. Since biopolymers are composed of living beings, they are entirely neutral toward carbon and easily recycled or renewed. Biopolymers do not create CO2 pollution because crops absorb the emitted CO2 by them instead of getting released into the atmosphere. There are four different kinds of biopolymers sugar-based biopolymers, cellulose-based biopolymers, synthetic-based biopolymers, and natural polymers.
