“Rising Adoption of Bio-Based and Waterborne Coatings”
- One prominent trend in the global biopolymer coatings market is the rising adoption of bio-based and waterborne coatings
- This trend is driven by the increasing environmental regulations and the demand for eco-friendly coatings, prompting manufacturers to develop biopolymer-based formulations with enhanced barrier properties, durability, and biodegradability for applications in food packaging, medical devices, and industrial coatings
- For instance, companies such as BASF and AkzoNobel have introduced advanced waterborne biopolymer coatings that offer high-performance protection while reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions
- As industries seek greener and safer coating solutions, manufacturers are investing in bio-based raw materials, waterborne technologies, and biodegradable formulations to meet sustainability goals and regulatory compliance
- This shift is expected to drive continuous innovation, ensuring long-term market growth as companies focus on developing high-performance, environmentally friendly coatings to stay competitive in the evolving industry
