Biodegradable polymers are a type of polymer that degrades into natural byproducts including water, carbon dioxide, and biomass when exposed to living creatures, typically microbes. These polymers are environmentally beneficial, providing a long-term alternative to standard plastics. Depending on the polymer's chemical structure and environmental conditions, the degradation process can occur by a variety of mechanisms such as hydrolysis, enzyme action, or microbiological activity. The medical field is one of the most important application areas for biodegradable polymers. Their ability to breakdown safely within the body makes them suitable for a wide range of biological applications.

Driving Factors: The packaging industry is seeing a rise in demand for biodegradable polymers. Polymers' superior performance and ease of manufacture have led to their widespread use in packaging materials during the past 50 years. The function of packaging in daily life is substantial. Among the various functions of packaging are safety, protection, enhanced use, attractive appearance, ideal design, and specific client requirements. The packaging is only there for one reason. It is either taken out to start using the goods inside, or it is thrown away as soon as the contents of the package are depleted. Throughout the forecast period, the demand for biodegradable polymers is expected to increase due to their use in a variety of end-use sectors, namely packaging. In the upcoming years, the market for biodegradable polymers is anticipated to be driven by the packaging industry's use of trays, films, and containers. The expansion of the market is further supported by the advantageous government policies that promote biodegradable polymers. Furthermore, the market is expanding more quickly due to the medical industry's rising need for biodegradable polymers.

The Saudi Arabian market for biodegradable polymers faces challenges related to market adoption, recycling infrastructure, and material diversity. There are still many obstacles to overcome in order to diversify biodegradable polymer compounds, provide efficient recycling infrastructure, and promote market adoption of these sustainable materials. Furthermore, resolving environmental issues and guaranteeing continuous material performance provide obstacles to industry expansion.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected numerous businesses, including the biodegradable polymer market. The epidemic affected supply systems, resulting in a temporary decrease in market demand. However, the crisis emphasized the need of sustainability and environmentally friendly materials, which are propelling the market's recovery and growth. The post-pandemic age provides chances for market players to profit on the growing demand for environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional plastics.
