Polyhydroxybutyrate Market 2017: Key Players, Development and Opportunities by Forecast to 2023
Polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs) are members from a family of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). PHB is a kind of thermoplastic polymer and is completely biodegradable. PHB is used in various end use industries such as pharmaceutical, food, agriculture, automotive, and others due to its good oxygen permeability, non-toxicity, water resistant, and biodegradability. PHB exhibits excellent stiffness and crystallinity, thus long fiber PHB is widely used in car interiors and other automotive parts. PHB find application in the development of implanted medical devices for orthopaedic, dental, hernioplastic, and skin surgeries. PHB based medical devices include biodegradable screws and plates for bone fixation, bioresorbable surgical sutures, wound covering, among others.
The growing demand for PHB market is mainly attributed to the increased environmental concern resulting in consumers’ preference shift toward eco-friendly packaging. A major challenge encountered by manufacturers of PHB is its high cost of production. However, with more investment by market players in the development of new manufacturing processes, the cost may reduce in future.
Petroleum reserves are depleting day by day which is leading to increasing cost of petrochemicals and consequently petrochemical based polymers are becoming expensive which will further boost up the demand for alternative low-cost bio-polymers.
Competitive Analysis:
The major players operating in the Polyhydroxybutyrate Market include BASF SE (Germany), Biomer (Germany), TianAn Biologic Materials Co., Ltd. (China), PHB Industrial S.A (Brazil), BIO-ON (Italy), Telles, LLC (U.S), TEPHA INC (U.S) and others.
