Bio-based
films have a lower environmental impact as compared to the commercial
films thus are becoming very popular. Bio-based films have a lot of
potential for use in the packaging industry thus are garnering a lot
of attention. Government support towards environment-friendly
products and increasing awareness about bio-based films is fuelling
the demand for bio-based films.
Market
Overview:
Bio
derived products are used to produce bio-based films and thus are
bio-degradable. Renewable raw materials are used to prepare
bio-based films. For example, by-products from soy oil industry are
used to prepare soy-protein based films and marine wastes are used to
prepare chitosan and agar films. Proteins used for bio-based films
are biodegradable, renewable and easily available. This is the reason
why bio-based films are becoming widely popular. The most popular
bio-based films are sourced from soy. Apart from soy, zein obtained
from corn and keratin obtained from low-value chicken feather are
used for the preparation of bio-based films. Bio-based films with
these components show good mechanical properties. Pea proteins are
also being widely used for manufacturing bio-based films. Bio-based
films made from pea proteins can resist UV light transmission because
of the presence of amino acids such as phenylalanine, tryptophan, and
tyrosine as well as the presence of disulfide bonds in the network.

Market
Dynamics:
Increasing
focus on packaging films made from bio-based sources such as proteins
and polysaccharides has increased the demand for bio-based films. In
the food industry, introduction of edible bio-based films has fuelled
this demand further. Bio-based films are also finding a lot of
application in the medical industry owing to their biocompatibility.
Medical applications such as wound management, space filling implants
and controlled drug release are making use of bio-based films. Owing
to the widespread application in the medical field, Bio-based Films
market is estimated to grow in the forecast period. Strict laws
regarding the use of semi-synthetic and synthetic bio-based films in
food packaging are expected to increase the demand for bio-based
films. Semi-synthetic and synthetic films have adverse effects on
food when they come in contact with the food so the governments of
various countries are urging against the use of such films. Various
advantages offered by bio-based films such as easy raw material
availability, biocompatibility, and eco-friendly characteristics are
having a positive influence on the growth of Bio-based Films market.
One
of the major factors that is likely to restrain the Bio-based market
is the high cost associated with the products. Bio-based polymers are
comparatively costlier than the semi-synthetic and synthetic
counterparts of the packaging film industry. For example, the market
price of bio-based films ranges from US$ 3/kg to US$ 3.5/Kg and
synthetic and semi-synthetic films are available at US$ 1.2/Kg to US$
2/Kg.
Proteins
extracted from rapeseed are increasingly being used for the
production of bio-based films because they have amino acid
composition same as soy proteins.
