Key Drivers of Global Bioplastic Textiles Market
- Bioplastic
textiles are used in diverse applications, such as footwear, clothing, and
other accessories. Producers of clothes and footwear have adopted
bioplastic textiles, primarily due to climatic changes, volatile prices of
petroleum, and high prices of natural gas, which is the key feedstock used
in the production of synthetic plastics.
- Manufacturers
not only incorporate bioplastic textiles into their products, but also
promote their products as environmentally-safe. Thus, various initiatives
by renowned brands are augmenting the demand for bioplastic textiles. Rain
Poncho, produced by Spain-based Equilicua, is the perfect example of
bioplastic protective coatings. This raincoat is produced from potato
starch. Rain Poncho is non-toxic; it does not pollute the environment; and
is 100% compostable and biodegradable. Moreover, the
information printed on this raincoat informs the user about the benefits
of bioplastic textiles and biodegradable materials.
- Gucci,
a prominent company based in Italy, has developed eco-friendly men’s and
women’s shoes made of bioplastic and biodegradable materials sourced from
compost. Moreover, PUMA SE, a notable Germany-based player, has also
started production of sneakers and shirts that contain biodegradable
bioplastics. The upper part of PUMA’s sneaker base is made from cotton and
linen blends, while the sole is made of bioplastics.
- Additionally,
bioplastic textiles are largely used in the production of car interiors,
seats, and other parts. If an average cars weighs 1,500 kg, it
contains 15-20 kilograms of textile and textile
components.
- Thus,
the global market for bioplastics textiles is expected to expand during
the forecast period, owing to rising demand from various textile
manufacturers.

Polylactic Acid (PLA) to Witness
Attractive Opportunities
- Polylactic
acid (PLA) is a biodegradable plastic derived from agricultural sources
such as sugarcane, potatoes, and tapioca roots. Due to its degradable
nature, polylactic acid has several applications. It is completely
degradable under compost conditions. Polylactic acid is used to obtain
products with a long lifespan. PLA is available on an industrial scale,
and its production does not require high initial investments and strict
timelines, which are commonly associated with new polymers.
- Synthetic
polymers depend on resources such as oil and gases for sourcing their monomers.
These resources take millions of years to regenerate. On the other hand,
bio-based fibers are obtained from natural renewable resources. PLA
(polylactic acid) polymer is one of them. Polylactic acid is used in
applications such as casual wear (men’s wear and women’s wear), protective
clothing, and workwear clothing.
- Thus,
increase in the demand for polylactic acid boosts the global market for
bioplastic textiles.
Higher Prices than Conventional Textiles to Hamper Market
- The
difference between the prices of petro-plastic and bioplastic textiles is
high; however, in recent years, the prices of bioplastic textiles have
been declining, while those of petro-plastic textiles have been
increasing. The prices of bioplastic textiles are expected to decline in
the near future, led by economies of scale and ongoing advancements in process
engineering, while the production of petro-plastic textiles has reached
the highest level of efficiency and maturity.
- The
current production capacity for bioplastic textiles is significantly lower
than that for conventional plastic textiles, which reduces the potential
for their substitution and increases the price of the final product. Price
consideration is anticipated to be a key factor hampering the global
market for bioplastic textiles during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific Dominates Global Bioplastic Textiles Market
- In
terms of volume, Asia Pacific held a major share of the global bioplastic
textiles market in 2018. This trend is anticipated to continue throughout
the forecast period, led by the high demand for bioplastic textiles in the
clothing industry in the region.
- The
bioplastic textiles market in North America is mature. The U.S. is a
leading consumer of bioplastic textiles in the region. North America
constituted 18.6% share of the global market in 2018.
- Increase
in the demand for PLA and PTT in the region is the key factor driving the
market for bioplastic textiles in Europe.
Top Three Players Hold 40% Share of Global Bioplastics Industry
- The
global bioplastics industry is dominated by a small number of players. The
top three players held ~40% share of the global industry in
2018. These players include Ercros S.A, BASF SE, and Natureworks
LLC.
- Natureworks
LLC accounted for ~18.% share of the global bioplastics
industry in 2018. The significant share of the company can be attributed
to its continuous focus on innovations, implementation of growth
strategies, business expansion through strategic capital allocation, and
extensive research & development activities.
- BASF
SE is a leading manufacturer of bioplastics. The company constituted ~13% share
of the global bioplastics industry in 2018. BASF SE aims at strengthening
its position as a leading energy company. It is the largest producer of
chemicals in the world.
- Other
key players operating in the global bioplastics industry include DuPont de
Nemours, Inc., NaturePlast, and FKuR Biome Bioplastics.
