*Forecast
**Polyethylene Furanoate (PEF) is currently under development. It is expected to be commercially available in 2023.
Distribution figures are based on the total global bioplastic production capacity of 2.18 million metric tons in 2023 and 7.43 million metric tons in 2028.
The global production capacities of bioplastics was **** million metric tons in 2024. Of this total, the biodegradable polymer polylactic acid (PLA) accounted for **** percent. By 2029, PLA is forecast to account for **** percent of the global bioplastics production capacity. Biodegradable bioplastics such as PBAT, PBS, and PLA, are projected to represent ** percent of bioplastics production capacities.
