This biochemical market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The biochemical market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $75.86 billion in 2023 to $83.52 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The increase observed in the historical period can be credited to a growing demand for sustainable products, government initiatives and regulations, a shift towards bio-based fuels, consumer awareness and preference, as well as the expanding applications in diverse industries.
The biochemical market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $116.07 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The expansion anticipated in the forecast period can be ascribed to the growing biopharmaceutical sector, a heightened focus on the circular economy, global endeavors to combat climate change, advancements in biorefineries, and consumer demand for environmentally friendly products. Key trends during the forecast period encompass technological innovation in bioprocessing, increased investments in research and development, collaborative partnerships, advancements in biotechnology, and a shift towards precision and synthetic biology.
The biochemical market is anticipated to experience significant growth due to the rising demand for bio-based products. These products are derived from renewable biological resources, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms, offering sustainable alternatives to traditional petrochemicals and contributing to environmental conservation. A report by the Organic Trade Association revealed that the U.S. organic food market achieved a record-breaking $61.7 billion in sales in 2022, marking a 4.4% increase from $59.1 billion in 2021. Additionally, the global bioplastics production capacity is expected to surge from 2.2 million metric tons in 2022 to around 6.3 million metric tons by 2027, as reported by European Bioplastics. This escalating demand for bio-based products is a key driver behind the growth of the biochemical market.
The biochemicals market is poised for expansion owing to the increasing need for clean and renewable fuel sources. These sources, also known as renewable energy or green fuels, harness biochemicals to convert organic materials such as biomass and algae into biofuels and biogases. This process provides an environmentally friendly and sustainable energy alternative, reducing harmful emissions and lessening dependence on fossil fuels. The International Energy Agency reported a projected 6% increase in global biofuel demand, equivalent to 9,100 million liters per year, between 2021 and 2022. Hence, the heightened demand for clean and renewable fuel sources is a driving force behind the growth of the biochemical market.
Major companies operating in the biochemical market are increasing their focus on introducing products such as biobased precursors to gain a competitive edge in the market. A biobased precursor is a substance derived from renewable biological sources, such as plants, animals, or microorganisms, that serves as a starting point or raw material for the production of bio-based products. For instance, in July 2022, Advanced Biochemical, a Thailand-based biochemical company, launched a new brand called Epinity, which is a bio-based, drop-in, and competitive epichlorohydrin (ECH) used in a wide range of downstream industries. Epinity is used as a precursor to epoxy resins, which have various applications, including marine coatings, powder coatings, auto refinishing, metal coatings, and industrial adhesives. The launch of Epinity is a significant development in the biochemical industry since it provides a sustainable alternative to traditional ECH and other chemical compounds.
Leading firms in the biochemical market are escalating their efforts to introduce innovative sustainable products, including biobased sustainable additives, to enhance their competitive advantage. Biobased sustainable additives are naturally derived or renewable chemical compounds sourced from plants, agriculture, or other organic materials. They are employed to improve the properties, performance, or environmental sustainability of various products, materials, or processes. For example, in March 2023, BYK, a subsidiary of Altana AG, a Germany-based chemicals company, unveiled a new series of bio-based sustainable additives named CERAFLOUR. These additives are crafted to impart a natural appearance, as well as silky and matte surfaces, to coatings utilized in wood and furniture, coil, and architectural coatings.
In August 2023, UPM Biochemicals GmbH, a biochemical company based in Germany, successfully acquired SunCoal Industries GmbH for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is anticipated to aid UPM Biochemicals GmbH in expanding its range of renewable chemicals and reinforcing its position in the bio-based products market. SunCoal Industries GmbH, a chemical company based in Germany, specializes in the development and commercialization of high-value carbon products, including biochemicals.
