Bio-based Platform Chemicals Market To Reach $24.8 Billion By 2033

Bio-based Platform Chemicals Market Growth & Trends

The global bio-based platform chemicals market size is expected to reach USD 24.8 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 5.8% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing polymer and bioplastics industry is projected to drive the product demand over the forecast period. Bio-based platform chemicals are gaining popularity over petroleum-based chemicals owing to rising environmental concerns. They are also likely to replace conventional chemicals used in various end-use industries, such as F&B, polymer, and pharmaceuticals.

Fluctuation in crude oil prices is also contributing to the product demand as it directly impacts the industrial production and costs incurred in such process. To avoid losses and the demand-supply conundrum of oil, market participants are shifting their preferences toward bio-based platform chemicals. Moreover, the advent of new fermentation techniques along with increasing production capacities is projected to fuel the product demand. Bio-derived organic acids, polymers, and alcohols are used in wide range of applications, such as surfactants, solvents, plasticizers, paints and coatings, lubricants, and binders.

Rising demand for these products and increasing usage of bio-based products are projected to foster the market growth further. Rapidly developing green chemistry market is expected to integrate the circular economy and bioeconomy in Europe, which is directed at improving the sustainability of resources. Increasing demand for green chemicals is anticipated to boost the bioeconomy of various regions through the generation of new jobs. However, supply chain issues coupled with price volatility of raw materials is expected to challenge the market growth.
