The turnover with bio-based polymers increased from €11 billion in 2014 to nearly €13 million in 2016.
These and more results are available in nova-Institute’s market study “Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities and Trends 2016 – 2021”. The study gives an overview of the biobased world market with latest data on capacities and applications. Additionally it shows real data for 2016 and a forecast for 2021.
nova-Institut (2017): Market study on biobased polymers
Despite difficult market environment the worldwide production capacity for bio-based polymers has increased by 4% to 6.6 million tonnes compared to 2015. But the annually growth rate from 2012 to 2014 was even 10%.
