The Japan Bio-Based Polyethylene Market Size is Expected to Hold a Significant Share by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 12.3% from 2023 to 2033.

Market Overview

Green polyethylene is a bio-based polyethylene made from sugar cane, a sustainable raw source. Bio- polyethylene can be used as a drop-in substitute for fossil polyethylene (PE) and promotes regeneration. This 100% recyclable, bio-based plastic is mostly utilized in toys, athletic goods, household items, and food and cosmetic packaging. Specifically, film extrusion, injection molding, and blow molding are used to process bio-based polyethylene. In every aspect of our life, bio-based polyethylene may replace fossil polyethylene. Films, packaging, bottles, canisters, simple injection-molded parts, thermoformed containers, tubes, sporting goods, and toys are just some of the categories. When compared to recycled plastics, biobased polyethylene has superior material qualities since it shares the same material structure as traditional polyethylene, such as greater tear resistance. Additionally, the material can be recycled entirely in the current recycling systems.

Driving Factors

The growing bio-based economy is sparking the transition from fossil fuel-based to renewable resources. One important element in developing sustainable products is the utilization of biopolymers. Japan is one of the biggest users of bioplastic goods in Asia, and as part of its resource circulation strategy for plastics, the government has set a target of producing 2 million tons of bio-based plastics by 2030. The manufacture of bioplastics is also introduced by the idea of the "bioeconomy" in order to promote wealth and employment development as well as environmental sustainability. Bioplastics are one of the target market segments for investment in Japan's 2030 endeavor to establish the most advanced bioeconomy in the world.

Restraining Factors

In terms of economics, the expenses associated with producing food feedstock are the primary obstacles to the development of biobased and biodegradable polymers. The cost of producing bioplastics will go up and have an effect on the market pricing if the price of the primary manufacture of bioplastic components rises.

Market Segmentation

The Japan bio-based polyethylene market share is classified into type and material.

• The bio-based HDPE segment is expected to hold a significant market share through the forecast period.   

The Japan bio-based polyethylene market is segmented by type into bio-based LDPE and bio-based HDPE. Among these, the bio-based HDPE segment is expected to hold a significant market share through the forecast period. The expansion of bio-based HDPE segment is being driven by the growing focus on reducing plastic waste and controlling environmental pollution.
