Produced from renewable
feedstocks such as animal, forestry, municipal, household,
Abundant biomass and renewable feedstocks, increased government focus
on reducing dependence upon foreign
oil and achieving self-sufficiency, international pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the desire to
reduce dependency on non-renewable
petroleum products through renewable
sourcing, are all factors poised to benefit the market. Additionally, factors
such as sustainability, decreasing land-fill space, strong pipeline of innovative
bio-based products, and low costs of
production of bio-based chemicals are
also fuelling market growth. Advances
in industrial biotechnology are helping renewable polymers and bio-based
chemicals to compete with petroleum-based polymers in terms of performance and cost.
Renewable alcohols, including ethanol, methanol Iso-butanol, 1-propanol,
2-propanol, 1-pental, and 2-ethyl-1-hex-
anol, among others, represent the largest
revenue contributor for renewable chemicals. Renewable ethanol and methanol
considerably reduce greenhouse gas emissions and are therefore poised to benefit
from the growing concerns over global
warming. Ethanol continues to represent
the largest segment in the global renewable chemicals market driven largely
by eco-friendliness, cost-efficiency, and
the ability to meet existing regulations.
Developments in environment friendly
production technologies will help drive
growth of bio-based feedstock for chemicals manufacturing.
The market for renewable platform
chemicals is expected to benefit from the
increased investments being made to de-
velop processes for producing renewable
intermediates. Rising oil prices, advanced
process technologies, and continued
changes in regulations and policies will
provide growth opportunities to renew-
able platform chemical manufacturers in
the coming years. As stated by the new
market research report on Renewable
Chemicals, Europe represents the largest
regional market worldwide, while Asia-
Pacific represents the fastest growing
market with a CAGR of 7. 6 percent over
the analysis period.
