Executive Summary

The Asia-Pacific castor oil-based biopolymer market (excluding China) is estimated to reach $892.3 million by 2031, reveals the premium market intelligence study. The study also highlights that the market is set to witness a CAGR of 17.8% during the forecast period 2022-2031.

The region comprises Japan, South Korea, India, and Rest-of-Asia-Pacific. The demand for castor oil-based biopolymers is anticipated to increase due to the rising demand for sustainable solutions across the region. Another major reason contributing to the growth of the market is the sustainability and recovery of the economy by the countries during the post-pandemic period.

The Asia-Pacific Castor Oil-Based Biopolymer Market: Drivers and Challenges

Asia-Pacific is one of the major regions for the production and sales of automotives. The ongoing investments by several automotive manufacturers in different regional countries are further expected to drive the demand for castor oil-based biopolymers.

Some of the countries in Asia-Pacific are still in their developing phase, and sustainability is not a priority for many of the regional countries. Further availability of several bio-based plastics at an economical price range, along with easy availability of other bioplastics, including naturally occurring fibers such as soy and hemp strengthen polymers, may hinder the adoption of castor oil based biopolymers over the forecast period.
