Global bio-based polyolefins market size was valued at USD 42.3 million in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 44.8 million in 2025 to USD 62.5 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. This steady growth is driven by increasing environmental regulations, corporate sustainability initiatives, and the accelerating shift from synthetic polymers to renewable alternatives across packaging, automotive, and construction sectors.
Bio-based polyolefins are sustainable polymers derived from renewable biomass sources like sugarcane, corn, or cellulose. These materials maintain identical chemical properties to conventional petroleum-based polyolefins while offering improved environmental benefits. The two primary types include bio-polyethylene (bio-PE) and bio-polypropylene (bio-PP), which dominate over 75% of current market applications according to industry analyses.
