Green Chemicals Market to Generate $22,039 Million Revenue by 2030

Prominent factors such as the rising demand for bio-based packaging materials and growing concerns over fossil fuel depletion are projected to drive the green chemicals market at a CAGR of 8.9% during 2020–2030. The market was valued at $9,413.1 million in 2020 and it is expected to generate $22,039.0 million revenue by 2030. Green chemicals are non-toxic and do not emit sulfur dioxide or particulate matter, as they are derived from plant or animal waste.


The increasing adoption of bio-based packaging materials, on account of the growing concerns being raised over environmental degradation, is one of the key growth drivers of the market. The packaging industry is generating a high demand for packaging materials derived from renewable sources, such as plant and animal waste, as they are cost-effective, non-toxic, and require less raw materials for production. As compared to traditional materials, bio-based packaging materials are easier to dispose of and thus, their growing adoption helps in reducing environmental pollution to a considerable degree. 


The product segment of the green chemicals market is classified into organic acids, biosolvents, bioalcohols, bioplolymers, and others, such as biolubricants and biosurfactants. Among these, the bioalcohols category generated the highest revenue in 2020, and it is expected to continue this trend throughout the forecast period. This can be owed to the large-scale consumption of bioethanol as an alternative fuel for the spark-ignition engines of automobiles. Besides, the increasing use of bioethanol in the production of alcoholic beverages, such as gin, beer, whiskey, vodka, and brandy, will also contribute to the growth of this category.  


Furthermore, the application segment of the green chemicals market is categorized into personal care, agriculture, food and beverages, automotive, packaging, and others, such as construction, textiles, paints and coatings, and electrical and electronics. Under this segment, the personal care category is projected to exhibit the fastest growth during the forecast period (2021–2030), owing to the surging concerns being raised over the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals on the skin. Moreover, the increasing adoption of bio-based personal hygiene and beauty products will also support the growth of this category.


At present, the players in the green chemicals market are launching new products to attain a notable position. For example, in October 2019, Braskem introduced a new 'I'm green' recycled polypropylene in the U.S. to include its entire portfolio of circular economy products as a part of its commitment to aid in the transformation of the plastic chain from a linear economy into a circular economy. In a circular economy, the materials are utilized, disposed of, and then recycled in a circular manner.


Therefore, the rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves and escalating demand for bio-based packaging materials will boost the market growth in the upcoming years.
