Bio-based Plasticizers | Business & Products | DIC Corporation
This page is DIC (formerly Dainippon Ink and Chemicals) 'Bio-based Plasticizers'. Carbon neutrality has become a hot topic due to the need for environmental protection. DIC has developed bio-based plasticizers, made with plant-derived raw materials, in line with our strategic goal of sustainable development.
Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Many bio-based PVC plasticizers, such as vegetable oil-based plasticizers, cardanol-based plasticizers, lactic acid-based plasticizers, waste cooking oil-based plasticizers, polyester plasticizers, hyperbranched plasticizers and so on, have been extensively studied.
Bio Plasticizers Market by Type and Application - 2030
The global bio plasticizers market was valued at $1.3 billion in 2025, and is projected to reach $2.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.31% from 2025 to 2030. The increase in demand for the e-commerce during the pandemic has created a huge demand for films and sheet covering used in packaging industries.

- How much have bioplastics penetrated the global plastics market?
- Eliandro Felipe, to begin with a broad overview, how much have bioplastics penetrated the global plastics market, what is their current status in the plastics value chain?
- Bioplastics make up around one percent of the 360 million or so tonnes of plastic produced every year. That may sound small, but demand is rising fast, as is production capacity.
- Will bioplastics boom in Latin America?
- With demand for, and production of, bioplastics forecast to boom in Latin America over the next five years, Clariant’s additives regional manager in LATAM Eliandro Felipe looks at the advantages of our alliances and sustainable additives to create more environmentally friendly materials towards a Circular Economy.
- Why do we need sustainable additives in Mexico?
- We see great opportunities for our sustainable additives in the Mexican market, particularly due to the push to increase the use of biopolymers and increase the percentage of recycled content in final products, by global brand owners already established in the country. And, we see this across multiple industries.
- Are bioplastics still a viable alternative to petroleum-based plastics?
- Bioplastics have come a long way since their widespread introduction in the 1970’s but it is true that in many applications they still fall behind petroleum-based plastics when it comes to physical properties. This is something that we are working on at Clariant with business partners, such as Floreon.
- What is the global bioplastics production capacity?
- In 2019 the global bioplastics production capacity was 2.11 million tonnes and that is forecast to rise to 2.43 million tonnes by just 2024. Production of bioplastics in Latin America makes up 12% of the global total and is growing strongly .
- Which biopolymers are emerging?
- »We are also seeing that more innovative and sophisticated biopolymers, applications, and products are emerging, including, for example, the PLA compounds produced by the company Floreon, with which Clariant has an alliance to expand high-performance biopolymer applications to additional markets.«
