Research Abstract

This report analyzes the worldwide markets for Biodegradable Polymers in thousand pounds by the following End-Use Segments: Packaging (Loose-fill/Other), Compost Bags, and Others (Agriculture & Horticulture, and Medicine). The report also provides market analytics for the US market by the following product segments - Co-Polyester, PLA, Starch, and Others (Lignin, Soybean, Water-Soluble and Polycaprolactone). The report provides separate comprehensive analytics for the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, and Rest of World. Annual estimates and forecasts are provided for the period 2007 through 2015. Also, a seven-year historic analysis is provided for these markets. The report profiles 112 companies including many key and niche players such as DURECT Corp., American Excelsior Company, BioGroupUSA, Inc., BASF SE, BIOTEC GmbH & Co. KG, CEREPLAST, Inc., Cortec Corporation, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company., Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd, Eastman Chemical Company, ECM BioFilms Inc., FP International, IRe Chemicals Limited., Metabolix Inc., Mitsubishi Plastics, Inc., Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., National Starch and Chemical Company, NatureWorks LLC, Novamont S.p.A., Perstorp UK Limited, Rodenburg Biopolymers B.V., ReNewable Products, Inc., Showa High Polymer Co., Ltd., Storopack Hans Reichenecker GmbH, and Toyobo Co., Ltd. Market data and analytics are derived from primary and secondary research. Company profiles are mostly extracted from URL research and reported select online sources.
