The total production capacity of bioplastics in the Asia-Pacific region was at 0.97 million metric tons in 2015. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 29.5% during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific has the largest regional market in terms of production capacity. The region also accounts for 30% share of the global demand for bioplastics.
Government policies and increased awareness among consumers are contributing towards a large growth in production and consumption of bioplastics. Countries in this region have already started implementing new regulations that promote a wide use of bio-based materials. However, this progress is hindered from time to time due to weak and unclear enforcement guidelines. In the order of market dominance, China, Japan, Thailand and India are some of the major countries actively involves in this industry.
