In 2024, North America is estimated to dominate Plant Based Plastic (Green Plastic) Market, holding a significant share of 38.7%. This leadership is driven by a robust demand for sustainable packaging solutions across various industries, including food and beverage, consumer goods, and automotive. The region benefits from a strong regulatory framework that encourages the adoption of eco-friendly materials, alongside increasing consumer awareness regarding environmental issues. Major companies such as Corbion, BASF in the U.S. and Canada are investing heavily in research and development to enhance the properties of plant-based plastics, making them more competitive with traditional petroleum-based plastics. Additionally, the presence of established players and innovative start-ups in the bioplastics sector further bolsters market growth. As businesses and consumers alike shift towards greener alternatives, North America is poised to maintain its prominent position in the global plant-based plastic landscape.

The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing market for plant based plastics. Rapid industrialization and rising disposable incomes have fueled the growth of the consumer packaging industry in the region. The huge production capacities of FMCG goods in countries like China, India, and Indonesia have increased the demand for eco-friendly plastic packaging materials from both domestic as well as export markets. At the same time, growing environmental consciousness and policy push for circular economy is nudging the manufacturers to incorporate sustainable solutions. Established players from Europe have partnered with local producers to transfer technology and tap into the massive market potential. With inexpensive labor and abundant availability of agricultural residues, the production costs are significantly lower in Asia Pacific making it an attractive destination for global suppliers. If the government regulatory framework is strengthened to promote innovation and incentivize investments, the region is set to dominate the industry in the future.
