Market Drivers

The major driver for the white biotechnology market is the growing demand for eco-friendly products from various end-use industries. White biotechnology helps in developing sustainable alternatives for petroleum-based chemicals, plastics, fuels and other materials in an environmentally benign way. This significantly reduces pollution levels.

Market restrain

High initial investment required for setting up white biotechnology plants and R&D activities is a major challenge. Also, lack of standardization in regulations is restraining the market growth.

Segment Analysis

The bio-based chemicals sub-segment involves producing industrial chemicals like organic acids, amino acids, biopolymers etc. from renewable feedstocks. Lactic acid holds the major share under bio-based chemicals as it is used in many applications ranging from food additives and pharmaceuticals to personal care products. Polylactic acid or PLA is a fast emerging biopolymer used to manufacture biodegradable plastics. Increased regulation on single-use plastics is further driving the adoption of such bio-based alternatives.

Europe dominates the current white biotechnology market with over 35% revenue share. Government schemes and initiatives promoting bioeconomy in countries like Germany, France, Netherlands etc. have boosted foreign investments and R&D activities in the region. Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period owing to rising biofuel production and bioplastics industry in countries like China, India and South Korea. This is a result of supportive policies backing sustainable development and adoption of cleaner technologies. North America also represents a sizable portion of the market led by United States. Availability of skilled workforce and presence of leading players have made the region an innovation hub in synthetic biology and industrial biotechnology.
