Global Bioplastic Textile Market: Growth Factors

The global bioplastic textile market is growing at a faster rate. Factors such as a rise in demand for biodegradable products, an increase in government initiatives regarding the benefits of bioplastic in textiles, and growing concerns regarding the environment are augmenting the growth of the global bioplastic textile market. Globally, millions of tons of fabric are used for clothing annually. This is done by yarn spinning by combining synthetic fibers such as polyester and natural fibers such as wool & cotton. Such a blend of synthetic and natural fiber is usually used to enhance the durability & comfort of the end products. But these fabrics cannot be separated as they are intermingled and are complex to recycle. Thus, textile industries are facing challenges and are seeking for the options to obtain 100 percent biodegradable and bio-based final clothing product that meets the performance as well as mechanical requirements of the textile industry. Bioplastic possesses all such properties and is thus widely used in the protective textile industry, for luggage production, in home textiles, footwear industry, and medical textiles. Thus, the rise in demand for bioplastic from several business sectors is boosting the growth of the global market. Moreover, the adoption of bioplastic from textile industries at a faster rate and the emergence of new market players are propelling the growth of the market. Furthermore, heavy investments by the key players in R&D activities to enhance the properties of bioplastic may provide huge opportunities for the growth of the global bioplastic textile market over the forecast period. However, the high cost associated with the production of bioplastic may restrain the growth of the global bioplastic textile market.

The global bioplastic textile market is been adversely affected by the outbreak of Covid-19. The textile industry has to forcefully shut down all its operations due to the strict rules of lockdown and restriction on movement imposed by the government of several countries across the world. Thus, the decline in the demand for bioplastic is been registered during the first half of the year 2020. Moreover, change in consumer behavior due to economic crisis has led to a decrease in demand for home textiles as well as footwear. Owing to all these factors, a slow growth rate in the growth of global market is been witnessed during the pandemic.
