Biocomposites Global Market Report 2026

Biocomposites refer to reinforced compounds created by combining natural resin and a reinforcing compound. These environmentally friendly materials can be easily recycled, serving as a sustainable alternative to non-biodegradable polymers. Biocomposites find applications across various industries, including automotive, packaging, and food and beverages.

The primary types of biocomposite products in the market are hybrid biocomposites and green biocomposites. Hybrid biocomposites are utilized in diverse sectors such as construction, medicine, electronics, packaging, and automotive. These composites are formed by combining more than one type of reinforcement matrix, with polymers ranging from natural to synthetic. Fiber types include wood fiber composites and non-wood fiber composites. End-use industries for biocomposites encompass building and construction, transportation, consumer goods, and others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are affecting the biocomposites market by increasing costs of imported natural fibers, bio-resins, processing additives, and specialized compounding equipment. Manufacturers in Europe and North America are most impacted due to reliance on cross-border raw material sourcing, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on export-oriented biocomposite products. These tariffs are elevating production costs and slowing adoption in cost-sensitive applications. However, they are also encouraging regional sourcing of raw materials, local processing capabilities, and innovation in cost-efficient bio-based composite formulations.

Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of natural fiber reinforced materials, rising use of lightweight bio-based composites, growing demand for sustainable packaging materials, expansion of biocomposites in automotive interiors, enhanced focus on recyclable composite solutions.

Growing environmental concerns are expected to drive the growth of the biocomposites market going forward. Environmental concerns encompass issues that impact human activity and the biophysical environment, leading to harmful degradation. Biocomposites have a lower environmental footprint and are safer for humans and other living organisms. Additionally, most biocomposites are recyclable and reusable. For example, in April 2024, the UK's Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs reported that urban background concentrations of ozone (O3) reached 66.8 µg/m3 in 2023, a 3% increase from 2022. Consequently, rising environmental concerns are propelling the biocomposites market.

Key companies in the biocomposites market are developing innovative solutions, such as advanced fiber-reinforced composites, to enhance material strength, durability, and sustainability. Advanced fiber-reinforced composites are high-performance materials combining strong fibers with a supporting matrix to deliver superior strength, lightweight properties, and durability. For instance, in February 2024, Biocomposites, a UK-based manufacturer, launched STIMULAN VG, a calcium matrix antibiotic carrier mixed with vancomycin and gentamicin. This product delivers antibiotics directly to infection sites, improving effectiveness while minimizing systemic side effects and reducing antibiotic resistance. By targeting medication where it is most needed, STIMULAN VG represents an advancement in infection management, particularly for surgical, orthopedic, and farming applications.

In October 2024, Syklo Oy, a Finland-based technology company, acquired Elastopoli for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Syklo aims to strengthen its biocomposite production capabilities, expand its sustainable materials portfolio, and scale up commercial operations in the circular economy sector. Elastopoli Oy, based in Finland, specializes in cellulose-based biocomposites and advanced sustainable material solutions for industrial applications.
