FREE nova Session: Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities, Production and Trends 2024–2029
Hosts: Michael Carus, Lars Börger and Pia Skoczinski (all nova-Institute)
7 May from 14:00 to 15:00h CET (online) – free of charge
In this upcoming nova Session, a free webinar, the latest insights from our key report “Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities, Production and Trends 2024–2029“, will be presented.
2024 was a respectable year for bio-based polymers, with an overall expected CAGR of 13 % to 2029. Overall, bio-based biodegradable polymers have large installed capacities with an expected CAGR of 17 % to 2029, but the current average capacity utilisation is moderate at 65 %. In contrast, bio-based non-biodegradable polymers have a much higher utilisation rate of 90 %, but will only grow by 10 % to 2029.
Epoxy resin and PUR production is growing moderately at 9 and 8 %, respectively, while PP and cyclic APC capacities are increasing by 30 %. Despite a decline in production of biodegradables, especially for PLA in Asia, capacities have increased by 40 %. The same applies to PHA capacities. Commercial newcomers such as casein polymers and PEF recorded a rise in production capacity and are expected to continue to grow significantly until 2029.
