Growth Factors:

Fluctuating crude oil prices are driving the demand for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-based products. Oil price variations impact plastic production costs, prompting industries to shift to alternative materials like bioplastics. This trend is expected to increase the consumption of biodegradable packaging, particularly in Europe and the US, driving PHA market growth.

• Increasing new product launches of PHA-based products is the primary trend shaping market growth. Many major market players are increasingly investing in R&D activities to augment the application areas of PHAs in various industries such as automotive, electronics, consumer products, and energy. 
• Lack of availability of raw materials is a challenge that affects market growth. The manufacturing of PHAs primarily depends on the availability of animal and agricultural products such as sugars, glucose, and starch. The costs of these products vary significantly, and these products are often highly-priced.
