Key Market Highlights:
• Market Size (2024): USD 594.2 million
• Projected Size (2034): USD 1.48 billion
• CAGR (2024-2034): 9.50%
• Key Drivers: Sustainability regulations, demand for biodegradable plastics, innovation in bio-fermentation
• Challenges: Cost competitiveness with petro-based BDO, feedstock availability
• Top Players: BASF, Genomatica, Novamont, Mitsubishi Chemical, BioAmber, Cargill
The market's transition is supported by corporate commitments to carbon neutrality, circular economy initiatives, and increasing use of bio-BDO in end products such as bioplastics and synthetic leathers.
