Demand for high-performance automotive bioplastics is growing as manufacturers adapt to greenhouse gas regulations and renewable raw material prices

The global automotive bioplastics market size is likely to grow from USD 761.06 million in 2023 to USD 2103.28 million in 2033. This estimated growth is estimated to be driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7% in the global automotive bioplastics market over the next decade.

Industries such as automotive and transportation are increasingly using bioplastics to develop automotive parts, which is driving market growth. To add to the growing momentum, the market is seeing the emergence of new raw materials such as bio-waste, algae, and CO2 taken from the atmosphere. This is expected to drive innovation in product composition and capabilities.

The automotive bioplastics market is additionally driven by new research exploring new possibilities for bioplastics. The latest research and development work by scientists at the Institute for Bioplastics and Biocomposites (IfBB) at the University of Applied Sciences Hannover is a good example. Scientists at the university are developing bioplastics that can withstand the stresses and high temperatures in the automotive industry.

The aim of the project is to prove that bio-based formulations can be high-performance plastics. It is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. In the run-up to the project, it was reported that bio-based composites are compatible with difficult applications at high temperatures when properly refined and processed.

Key players are collaborating to create new opportunities for brand owners and plastic manufacturers to consider biopolymers as a low-carbon substitute for fossil-based plastics for sustainable and durable applications. The automotive industry is expected to benefit from such improved bioplastic grades.

This market continues to face competition from conventional plastics due to the reliable supply of raw materials for their production, improved functionalities and subsequent processing, and greater economies of scale.

“The growing interest in bioplastics among automotive manufacturers committed to switching to sustainable processes is expected to drive the adoption of automotive bioplastics in the coming years. However, market participants should consider improving product characteristics, technological processes, raw material availability and profit margins to gain an advantage in the market competition.” says Future Market Insights analyst.
