Increasing awareness of the harmful effects of food packaging and the demand for environmentally-friendly packaging materials among the population of developing countries support the growth of the global biopolymer industry. The demand for biopolymers is also driven by strict government rules for the use of traditional plastics and packaging materials. In addition, fluctuations in petroleum prices and their declining sources contribute to a change in biopolymers because the primary materials used in biopolymer production are regenerative. The economic efficiency of conventional plastics over biopolymers is, however, the major barrier to growth in the world biopolymer industry. One of the major challenges for new entrants is the huge investment in R&D for the production of biopolymers. The growth of the global biopolymer market is driven by the poor mechanical characteristics needed by the plastics industry.
