Bio-Based Construction Polymers Market Is Expanding Rapidly With Praj Industries Ltd And Lygos Inc. Co-Developing Advanced Lactic Acid Yeast Technology For Bio-Based Materials
The materials used in construction are usually composed of different bio-based polymers. Bio-based construction polymers are considered as substitutes for petroleum-based construction materials since these polymers do not contain petroleum and other petroleum byproducts. These are created from plant extracts or animal proteins that have been extracted from plants, animals, or humans. These materials can be formed into many types including adhesives, paints, adhesives, resins, and fiberglass. Materials derived from living organisms are considered biodegradable. Furthermore, bio-based construction materials have a lesser impact on the environment than conventional building materials. This is due to the fact that bio-based construction materials do not produce any waste during their formation process.
Rapid increase in construction
activities and infrastructural growth is expected to drive growth of the global
bio-based construction polymers market. The construction sector in both
developed and emerging economies have witnessed massive growth over the years.
According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India is expected to
become the world’s third-largest construction market by 2022. According to the
same source, India plans to spend around US$ 1.4 trillion on infrastructure
projects through the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) from 2019 to 2023.
Bio-based construction polymers are widely used in window, cement, flooring,
guttering, pipes, glazing, and sealants. Thus, these factors are expected to
drive growth of the global bio-based construction polymers market. Furthermore,
rising use concerns regarding the use of petrochemical products combined with
growing adoption of renewable products are expected to propel the global
bio-based construction polymers market growth in the near future.
High production costs and
inadequately developed global supply chains are expected to hamper the global
bio-based construction polymers market growth in the near future. Among
regions, Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth in the global
bio-based construction polymers market. This is owing to increasing
infrastructure activities coupled with favorable regulatory policies for
bio-based products across the region. Furthermore, Middle East & Africa is
expected to exhibit a lucrative growth rate, owing to favorable policies
boosting the construction and infrastructure industry in the region.
Key players operating in the global
bio-based construction polymers market are SK Chemicals, Kaneka TEPHA, BASF SE,
Hiusan Biosciences, Evonik Industries, DuPont de Nemours, Mitsubishi Gas
Chemical, Teijin Plastics, Nature Works LLC, and Toyobo.
For instance, in June 2020, Praj
Industries Ltd. entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Lygos
Inc. to co-develop advanced lactic acid yeast technology for bio-based
materials.
