Biocomposites Market Report 2026

The biocomposites market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $39.4 billion in 2025 to $46.2 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing environmental awareness among manufacturers, growing use of natural fibers in composites, expansion of green construction materials, rising adoption in consumer goods manufacturing, availability of renewable raw materials.

The biocomposites market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $85 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing regulations on plastic usage, rising demand for lightweight sustainable materials, expansion of electric vehicle production, growing investments in bio-based material R&D, increasing adoption in infrastructure applications. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of natural fiber reinforced materials, rising use of lightweight bio-based composites, growing demand for sustainable packaging materials, expansion of biocomposites in automotive interiors, enhanced focus on recyclable composite solutions.

Growing environmental concerns are expected to drive the growth of the biocomposites market going forward. Environmental concerns encompass issues that impact human activity and the biophysical environment, leading to harmful degradation. Biocomposites have a lower environmental footprint and are safer for humans and other living organisms. Additionally, most biocomposites are recyclable and reusable. For example, in April 2024, the UK’s Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs reported that urban background concentrations of ozone (O3) reached 66.8 µg/m³ in 2023, a 3% increase from 2022. Consequently, rising environmental concerns are propelling the biocomposites market.

Key companies in the biocomposites market are developing innovative solutions, such as advanced fiber-reinforced composites, to enhance material strength, durability, and sustainability. Advanced fiber-reinforced composites are high-performance materials combining strong fibers with a supporting matrix to deliver superior strength, lightweight properties, and durability. For instance, in February 2024, Biocomposites, a UK-based manufacturer, launched STIMULAN VG, a calcium matrix antibiotic carrier mixed with vancomycin and gentamicin. This product delivers antibiotics directly to infection sites, improving effectiveness while minimizing systemic side effects and reducing antibiotic resistance. By targeting medication where it is most needed, STIMULAN VG represents an advancement in infection management, particularly for surgical, orthopedic, and farming applications.

In October 2024, Syklo Oy, a Finland-based technology company, acquired Elastopoli for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Syklo aims to strengthen its biocomposite production capabilities, expand its sustainable materials portfolio, and scale up commercial operations in the circular economy sector. Elastopoli Oy, based in Finland, specializes in cellulose-based biocomposites and advanced sustainable material solutions for industrial applications.
