Impact of COVID-19 on Bio-based Construction Polymers Market
Bio-based polymers are materials manufactured from renewable resources. They are highly preferred in construction applications due to the rise in demand for non-fossil fuel based polymers. Earlier, bio-based polymers would be derived from agriculture feedstock such as potatoes, corn, and other carbohydrate feedstock. However, advancement in bio-technology led to the production of bio-based polymers through the bacterial fermentation process from renewable resources such as starch, cellulose, fatty acids, and organic waste.

Increase in environmental concerns across the world has boosted the usage of bio-based polymers, as they majorly contribute toward reducing the dependency on fossil fuels. This, in turn, helps lower carbon dioxide footprints. Rise in R&D activities for the development of eco-friendly products has accelerated the use of bio-based polymers in construction. Furthermore, implementation of favorable government regulations and initiatives in various countries for the usage of bio-based polymers has been augmenting the market since the last few years. Bio-based polymers are not entirely endowed to gain the advantage of economies of scale. Therefore, high production cost is anticipated to inhibit the market growth during the forecast period.
The bio-based construction polymers market can be segmented based on type, application, and region. Epoxies, cellulose acetate, polyurethanes (PUR), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), and others are among the major types of bio-based construction polymers. The others category comprises polylactic acid (PLA), polyamides (PA), polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), polybutylene succinate (PBS), and starch blends. The epoxies segment is anticipated to account for major share of the bio-based construction polymers market during the forecast period due to its wide range of applications such as wood & concrete repair, adhesives, and paints & coatings. Significance of insulation in the construction industry is likely to drive the polyurethane segment during the forecast period. PLA acts as a pre-foaming agent, binder, suspending agent, foaming agent, and coating adhesive that offers added advantage. This is estimated to propel the segment during the forecast period.
Prominent applications of bio-based construction polymers include pipe, insulation, profile, and others. The others segment includes FRP bridge section, concrete molds, glazing sealants, cladding panels, and anchor fixings. The pipe segment constitutes key share of the market, led by the lightweight, durability, and corrosion resistance properties of bio-based construction polymers. These polymers are typically used in construction applications such as building panels, roofing, sealants & adhesives, and flooring. Rise in usage of profiles and frames produced from bio-based polymers in bridge engineering and other composites structures is projected to propel the bio-based construction polymers market during the forecast period.
