Further key findings from the report suggest:
-
Thermoplastic starch (TPS) was the leading raw material in 2015 and is expected to reach a market worth USD 47.3 million by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2016 to 2024. The high demand may be attributed to the easy availability of starch at low prices coupled with an inability to produce any harmful products when placed in soil.
-
Starch blended with polylactic acid (PLA) is also expected to witness a brisk growth over the forecast period. The high growth may be attributed to their advantage of being produced from 99% biobased material coupled with growing PLA films demand particularly in Europe.
-
Asia Pacific was the major consumer and accounted for 64.1% of global revenue in 2015 and is expected to witness the fastest growth in the biodegradable mulch film market over the next eight years owing to growing industrialization resulting in rising food demand.
