Natural Polymers Market Analysis

Natural Polymers Type Segment Analysis

According to Cognitive Market Research, the cellulose ethers segment is expected to dominate the market for natural polymers. A naturally occurring linear polymer (polysaccharide) with a molecular repeat unit, cellulose comprises two d-anhydroglucose ring units linked by fourteen glycosidic oxygen linkages, which permits the molecular chain to bend and twist. Because of its high hydrophilicity, crystallinity, and degree of polymerization, bacterial cellulose can be used as a scaffold or membrane for tissue engineering. It also has outstanding mechanical qualities. Due to the adaptability and plasticity of bio nanocomposites, cellulose-based materials can be employed for biomedical applications such as vascular grafts, medication delivery, wound dressing, and tissue engineering scaffolds.

Starch & fermentation products are the second-most used products. Starch may be converted into biodegradable plastics, frequently used in food packaging, disposable cutlery, and agricultural films. These bioplastics provide a sustainable substitute for conventional plastics. Biodegradable goods can be made using corn flour, including bags, utensils, and packing materials. These products cause less plastic waste because they break down more quickly in the environment.

Natural Polymers Application Segment Analysis

According to Cognitive Market Research, the packaging is anticipated to lead the natural polymer market. Commercial disposal of readily available, non-biodegradable plastics has resulted in several environmental problems. To reduce carbon footprint, it is predicted that the demand for natural polymers will grow dramatically in the packaging industry. Packaging supplies contain natural polymers like polylactic acid and starch-blend, including form film, loose-fill, and thermoform. Additionally, a movement in consumer preferences towards chemical-free and eco-friendly cosmetics is expected to cause the market for natural polymers to grow quickly in the cosmetic and personal care sector.

The natural polymer for cosmetics and toiletries offering ranks second in usage. This is due to lotions, creams, and shampoos, cosmetic and toiletry formulations thickened and stabilized using natural polymers such as xanthan gum, cellulose derivatives, and guar gum. They improve product uniformity and avoid separation. Lecithin, a naturally occurring polymer obtained from soybean or sunflower seeds, is utilized as an emulsifier in cosmetics and personal care products. They blend oil and water-based substances to make stable emulsions, such as creams and lotions.
