Market Insights
The global bioplastic textile market is expected to grow from USD 1.07 billion in 2022 to USD 1.45 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 5.11% during the forecast period. The market has gained traction in recent years as customers shift their preferences toward plant-based or biodegradable products. Additionally, favorable government policies and the availability of environmental-friendly raw materials in the industry will aid in the growth of the bioplastic textiles market over the forecast period. Furthermore, the massive poisoning of aquatic life caused by synthetic fibers is a compelling argument to replace petroleum-based polyesters in textiles with a greener alternative.

Bioplastic Textile Market Share: By Source Type
Based on the source type, the market is segmented as sugarcane, beet, corn starch, cassava, and others. Corn starch dominates the market and is estimated to maintain its supremacy during the forecast period as well. The growth of the segment is owing to the product being ideal for the production of polylactic acid (PLA) as it is derived from wheat corn and is completely biodegradable. Furthermore, corn starch is employed in textile applications as addition to PLA manufacture. It is, for example, commonly used as an adhesive to enhance resistance during weaving and in printing to improve consistency, among other things.
Bioplastic Textile Market Share: By Material Type
Based on the material type, the market is segmented as polylactic acid [PLA], polyhydroxyalkanoates [PHA], polyhydroxybutyrate [PHB], bio-polyester [Bio-PES], bio-polyamide [Bio-PA], and others. The polylactic acid [PLA] segment has been gaining traction in the textile industry since some years and it is estimated to clock colossal gains during the forecast period. Exhibiting its properties similar to polystyrene and polyethylene, PLA is also considered as their potential substitute, thus driving the growth of the market.
Bioplastic Textile Market Share: By Region
In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is expected to experience maximum growth for bioplastic textiles during the forecast period, which is encouraged by government initiatives to promote bio-based products, growing consumer cognizance for bioplastics, followed by increasing bans on traditional plastics. Furthermore, growing apparel industry in the region, supported by increasing online shopping portals mainly in the emerging economies such as China and India, are likely to be the key influencer for the growth of the market in the near term.

Market Scope & Segmentation
Bioplastic textiles are derived from renewable biomass and contain polymers that meet the specific standards of biodegradability and compostability. Plant resources are usually used to make bioplastic textile. Enzymes are used to break down starch into glucose, which is then fermented to produce lactic acid. Lactic acid is polymerized and used to make bioplastics.
