North America is the world's largest market of biopolymers, which consumed more than one-third of the total demand. U.S is the key consumer of biopolymers in North America. Packaging, bottling, fibers, and automotive are the application segments driving the demand for PLA, bio-PE, and bio-PET which in turn is pushing the demand for biopolymers within the region. The growing concern for human health and safety in the region has also led to increased consumption of biopolymers. The biopolymers market is also up surging due to high penetration of material in industries like packaging and automotive which have further helped the biopolymers market to emerge in the region. Various innovations, developments, and expansions in different industries have in turn made the region a potential growth market for biopolymers and its products.
