Green Chemicals Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Bio-alcohols, Bio-polymers, Bio-organic acids, Bio-ketones), Application (Industrial & Chemical, Food & Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Packaging, Construction, Automotive), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025-2034

Green Chemicals Market Size is valued at 130.5 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach 359.8 billion by the year 2034 at a 10.8% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.

Green chemicals are essential as they are intended to limit or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous compounds. Other chemical goods are being commercialized as a result of rising demand for greener products, a growing need for cost-effective processing, lower feedstocks, and new product channels. 

Recently, the growing acceptability of packaging materials derived from renewable sources, such as animal and plant waste, has resulted in a significant expansion in the business. This has much to do with the environmental benefits of bio-based packaging, such as non-toxicity, the use of fewer raw materials in manufacturing, cheap production costs, and proper disposal.

However, the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 had a negative influence on the area market. Nonetheless, the start of vaccination programs resulted in a drop in COVID-19 infections in H3 2021. As a result, the region's lockdown limitations were lifted, and business operations resumed. Throughout the projected period, such factors are expected to drive the regional green chemicals market. 

Recent Developments:

• In July 2020, The U.S. industrial gas firm Air Products & Chemicals unveiled plans on Tuesday to create the world's largest green hydrogen facility in Saudi Arabia, fueled by four gigatonnes of wind and solar power. Air Products, Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power, and Neom, a new mega-city planned near Saudi Arabia's borders with Egypt and Jordan, will jointly own the $5 billion project.

Market Segmentation:

The green chemicals market is segmented on the basis of product and application. Based on product, the market is further segmented as alcohols, bio-organic acids, bio-ketones, bio-polymers, and other green chemicals. The alcohol segment includes bio-ethanol, bio-butanol, bio-methanol, and other bio-alcohols. By bio-organic acids, the market is segmented into bio-lactic acid, bio-acetic acid, bio-citric acid, bio-adipic acid, bio-acrylic acid, bio-succinic acid, and other bio-organic acids. The bio-polymers segment includes polylactic acid (PLA), bio-polyethylene, and other bio-polymers. The applications segment includes industrial & chemicals, pharmaceuticals, packaging, food & beverages, construction, automotive, and other applications.

Based On Product, The Bio-Alcohols Segment Is Accounted As A Major Contributor In The Green Chemicals Market

The bio-alcohols category is expected to hold a considerable share of the global green chemicals market in 2024, owing to its consistent performance, higher production, and enhanced sustainability. Because of the environmental impact of conventional organic acids, the demand for bio-based organic acids is gradually increasing. Organic acid is increasingly being generated from renewable sources such as feedstock to address this expanding demand. Organic acids, which typically contain at least one carboxyl group, are extremely versatile substances with several applications in industries such as consumer products, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.

The Packaging Segment Witnessed Growth At A Rapid Rate

The packaging segment is projected to grow rapidly in the global green chemicals market. Packaging produced from renewable materials and plant byproducts such as corn flour or sugarcane is environmentally beneficial. Cornstarch-based packaging, in particular, has seen a boom in interest over the last decade, owing to its eco-friendliness and recyclable nature, which accounts for a sizable market share.

In The Region, Europe's Green Chemicals Market Holds A Significant Revenue Share

Europe's green chemicals market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue in the near future, owing to the region's growing number of thriving automotive manufacturers, which is promoting the use of green chemicals. Because of the advent of low-cost and abundant feedstock, a shift in emphasis towards the use of ecologically sustainable goods, and the execution of several government initiatives, North America is predicted to expand faster than the rest of the globe.

The EPA implemented encouraging regulations for the use of bio-based chemicals in the United States, which is projected to boost demand for bio-based chemicals in North America. Brazil is the world's second-largest producer of green chemicals after China.
