COVID-19 Impact on the Global Biodegradable Films Market

The primary application segments of biodegradable films market are the agriculture & horticulture and food packaging. COVID-19 is expected to have a mixed impact on these applications.

  • The demand for biodegradable films is estimated to experience a dip due to the outbreak of COVID-19 around the world in 2020. However, the food industry has remained operational throughout; thus, the impact on the biodegradable films market is assumed to be negligible.
  • The impact of COVID-19 outbreak on demand for biodegradable films in the agricultural industry is considered to be slightly affected at the global level, due to disruption in the supply chain.

Biodegradable Films Market Dynamics

Driver: High demand from food packaging industry

Polylactic acid (PLA), starch-based plastics, and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are being increasingly used as raw materials to manufacture food & beverage packaging products due to their ease of disposability, degradability, and recyclability. This has led companies to adopt green packaging labels as a strategy for branding and customer acquisition, thereby increasing the demand of biodegradable films for food packaging & compostable bags applications.

Restraint: Higher cost of biodegradable plastic films compared to conventional plastic films

The major restraint to the growth of the biodegradable films market is cost-competitive inability. Generally, the production cost of biodegradable plastic films is 20-80% higher than that of conventional plastic films. This is primarily due to the high polymerization cost of biodegradable plastics, as most of the processes are still in the development stage and, hence, have not achieved economies of scale.

Opportunity: Steadily growing bioplastic industry worldwide

The bioplastic industry is witnessing an impressive growth rate around the world, which can be considered as an opportunity for the biodegradable films market. For instance, as per data provided by Packaging Europe in December 2019, the global bioplastics production capacity is projected to increase from around 2.1 million tons in 2019 to 2.4 million tons by 2024.

Challenge: Performance issues related to biodegradable films

Low barrier properties to air, water, and oxygen and low resistance to heat, when compared to conventional plastic films, are some of the major performance issues related to biodegradable plastic films.

Starch blends is projected to grow at a very high CAGR during the forecast period.

Starch blends are considered excellent biodegradable fillers as they have thermal stability and make minimal interference with the melt-flow properties of most materials. They can be used to reduce the cost and accelerate the biodegradation of the composite materials. The growth of the starch blends segment is attributed starch blends being considered as an effective and renewable alternative to the plastics derived from petroleum derivatives.

Food Packaging is projected to be a large consumer of biodegradable films during the forecasted period.

Egg trays, edible coating, paper boards, wrapping films, and food containers are some of the common applications of biodegradable films for food packaging industry. PLA, starch blends, PBS, PHA, and cellulose are the most widely used biodegradable films in the food packaging industry. Biodegradable films are mainly used in fresh & frozen food packaging as well as the packaging of dried snacks & candy, bakery goods, water & juice bottles, meat trays, and coatings for beverages cups, and films & card stock.

Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market for biodegradable films during the forecast period. Factors such as, adoption of application of various environmental regulations as well as the rising government regulations regarding the ban on conventional plastic bags and global warming initiatives are expected to drive the demand for biodegradable films for packaging applications in Asia Pacific.

Recent Developments

  • In February 2020, BASF SE partnered with Fabbri Group (Italy) to develop a new cling film for fresh food packaging. As part of the partnership, Fabbri Group will develop the stretch film, Nature Fresh, by using the certified compostable films and bio-based bioplastic, Ecovio, which is offered by BASF SE. This partnership is expected to help increase the share of BASF SE in the biodegradable films market in Italy.
  • In April 2021, Walki Group acquired Plasbel, the Spanish leader in sustainable packaging solutions. Plasbel helped Walki to expand its reach in Europe by offering a diverse range of food packaging solutions, as well as post-consumer recycled and compostable films for use in the retail and hospitality industries. As part of Walki's objective to increase circularity and recyclability of packaging materials, this acquisition is a significant step. The combined entity's complementing R&D skills enabled it becomes a leading biofilm converter with significant expansion potential across.
