Rising demand for biodegradable and bio-based products due to sustainable development policies and growing concern for use of environment-friendly product is the main driver for the biodegradable polymer market. Government support to produce eco-friendly biodegradable polymer is also the key factor for the growth of the market. Escalating price of crude oil which is raw material for the production of the petroleum based polymer also helps tin driving the demand for biodegradable polymers. However biodegradable polymers have few applications to replace synthetic petroleum-based plastic materials and high manufacturing cost and failure in production of accurate biodegradable polymers may influence the market growth. Rising end-user applications and economical raw material price for biodegradable polymers are offering potential market opportunity in the years to come.

The biodegradable polymer market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. Polymers with hydrolyzable backbone, polymers with a carbon backbone and natural polymers are the types of biodegradable polymers. Polymers with a hydrolyzable backbone are classified as polyglycolic acid (PGA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyamides, polyurethanes, others in which polyglycolic acid (PGA) is the widely used followed by polyamides and polyurethane. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is one kind of polymers with a carbon backbone, whereas amylopectin, starch, amylose, chitin and chitosan and others are types of natural polymers. Starch-based polymers are one of the leading segment due to easy availability, and extensive application in food packaging.

Polymers are compounds with a long chain of monomers formed by chemical reactions. Polymers are composed of a large number of repeating units and high molar mass. Biodegradable polymers are the polymers which can be broken down into simple, reusable, natural products after their intended purpose. Biodegradable polymers are nontoxic, environment-friendly, capable of maintaining integrity until degraded and their degradation rate can be controlled.Degradation of biodegradable polymers is mainly done with the help of micro organism.Biodegradable polymers after breakdown give the natural byproduct such as carbon dioxide, biomass, and water.
