Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate Market Research - 2030

The global polybutylene adipate terephthalate market size was valued at $1.1 billion in 2020, and is expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.9% from 2021 to 2030.

Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) is copolymer of adipate acid and is a class of biodegradable plastic. It is an elastomeric polymer known for improving mechanical properties. PBAT is highly flexible and tough, used in wide range of applications including packaging materials, hygiene products, biomedical fields, and industrial composting.

Demand for PBAT is mainly driven by its adoption as a suitable substitute to low density Polyethylene (LDPE). PBAT shows similar properties of LDPE including flexibility and resilience making it preferable in packaging bags. Some of the basic factors driving the growth for PBAT include favorable government policies toward green procurement, rise in use of biodegradable plastic in packaging, and increase in consumer preference for packaged food. Cling bags used in food packaging, plastic bags used in gardening and agriculture, and water resistance coating adopted in paper cups are manufactured from PBAT due to their zero toxicity and greater biodegradation. Cling bags are majorly in demand due to rise in consumer preference on packaged food, which is ultimately driving the demand for PBAT. However, high production cost and low thermos-mechanical properties of PBAT based plastics restricts the application; thus, negatively affecting the polybutylene adipate terephthalate market growth.

Analyst Review

Polybutylene adipate terephthalate is considered as the major innovation from renewable material as the world is discovering alternatives to single use plastic products. It is being adopted as a perfect substitute to single use plastic as this plastic decomposes after a definite period of time by causing no harm to environment.

Increase in number of manufacturers, favorable government policies for the adoption of sustainable and biodegradable products, and rise in availability of renewable feedstock such as starch and PLA boost the growth of the PBAT market. Rise in consumer acceptance due to various awareness and education programs regarding biobased plastic products is providing a new perspective to eliminate usage of conventional plastic. However, higher price of PBAT as compared to traditional plastic coupled with low performance standards hamper the polybutylene adipate terephthalate market growth in the upcoming years.

At present, the use of PBAT based biodegradable plastic in packaging & bags is the highest valued segment and is projected to remain the same through the forecast period on account of its favorable properties. The production of bioplastics is highest in Asia-Pacific owing to the huge availability of renewable feedstock. Despite being biodegradable, one of the key advantages is its properties are similar to the conventional plastic, which makes biodegradable plastic a perfect substitute to conventional plastic.
