Starch Polymers Market: By Technology, By Type, and By Application and Region Forecast 2020-2031

Starch Polymers Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Technology (Blow Moulding, Extrusion, Injection Molding, and Others), By Type (Starch Blended with PLA, Starch Blended with PHA, and Others), and By Application (Rigid Packaging, Flexible Packaging, Textile, Agriculture & Horticulture, Consumer Goods, Automotive Transport, Electrical & Electronics, Building & Construction, and Others) and Region Forecast 2020-2031

Starch Polymers Market size was valued at US$ 116.4 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 155.2 million by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 4.2% from 2025-2031. The increased application of starch polymers in various food industries and pharmaceutical industries. Development and launch of innovative products by the market players enable a surge in the global stearic acid market demand over the forecast years. For instance. In 2018, Novamont launched the biodegradable and compostable Cuki Gelo bag made of Mater-Bi. MATER-BI products improve the quality and quantity of organic waste collection, thus contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions and soil desertification. Based on end-user, the market is segmented into rigid packaging, flexible packaging, textile, agriculture & horticulture, consumer goods, automotive transport, electrical & electronics, building & construction, and others. Flexible packaging represents the largest and fastest-growing segment as these polymers are used in manufacturing food packaging and edible films which are odorless, tasteless, colorless, non-toxic, and biodegradable.

Key Developments:

In June 2017, DuPont and Sumitomo Chemical collaborated to accelerate the development and commercialization of novel seed-applied technologies.

Starch Polymers Market Dynamics

Synthetic polymers are non-recyclable, non-renewable, non-biodegradable, and pollute the environment with harmful compounds. The starch polymers market is predicted to be driven by increased government action to lessen the impact of greenhouse gases (GNG). Food packaging, textile sizing agents, adhesives, and healthcare applications all use starch polymers. A favourable prognosis for the global packaging sector, notably industrial packaging and bag and sack films, is likely to boost market growth.
