Continuous growth: global production capacities of bioplastics 2024-2029
Bioplastics currently represent roughly half a percent of the almost 414 million tonnes* of plastics produced annually.
Overall global plastics production continues to rise steadily. This development is driven by rising demand combined with the emergence of ever more sophisticated applications and products. In line, global bioplastics production capacity is set to increase significantly from around 2.47 million tonnes in 2024 to approximately 5.73 million tonnes in 2029.
