The volatility in crude oil prices is notably driving the bio-based platform chemicals market growth, although factors such as high production cost may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the bio-based platform chemicals industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Bio-based Platform Chemicals Market Driver
Volatility in crude oil prices is one of the major drivers of the bio-based platform chemicals market growth. The use of crude oil as a carbon feedstock for producing chemicals has dominated the industry. The oil and gas industry is one of the major suppliers of raw materials to the global platform chemicals market. The fluctuations in the crude oil prices affect the prices of the raw materials considerably, thereby affecting the costs of platform chemicals. The price of Brent crude oil per barrel decreased in the subsequent years, by nearly 60% in 2016 compared to 2012. In 2018, the price of Brent crude oil increased by almost 62% compared to 2016, but the price again decreased by 40% in 2020. The volatile prices of raw materials will directly affect the revenue and profit margins of the manufacturers. Vendors are compelled to seek alternative solutions to maintain their profit margins, thereby reducing the use of petroleum-derived feedstock chemicals. In addition, the continuous supply of raw materials could be negatively affected by adverse weather conditions, national emergencies, natural disasters, supply shortages, and other events. The price fluctuations and non-availability of raw materials can affect the cost of the products and operations of the vendors. Bio-based platform chemicals have emerged as an alternative to petroleum-based chemicals owing to the comparatively stable costs.
Key Bio-based Platform Chemicals Market Trend
An increase in R&D activities is one of the major trends in the bio-based platform chemicals market growth. Growing R&D expenditure is a major trend that is being witnessed in the global bio-based platform chemicals market in recent years. There has been a significant increase in R&D activities to increase the application areas of bio-based platform chemicals in various industries, such as biofuels and resins, by many major vendors in recent years. Globally, major bio-based platform chemicals players have increased their R&D spending to reduce the manufacturing cost of bio-based platform chemicals. Furthermore, the manufacturers have been heavily emphasizing new product innovations and developments to maintain a competitive edge and gain shares in the market. In 2016, an International Bioeconomy Forum (IBF) aimed at improving the orientation of research in Europe and fostering multilateral cooperation was formed. This forum helps in providing an informal multilateral network for countries that are engaged in the development of a bio-based economy.
Key Bio-based Platform Chemicals Market Challenge
High production cost is one of the major challenges to the bio-based platform chemicals market growth. The US has set a goal to produce 21 billion gallons of advanced biofuels by 2022. To achieve the target, the gap between research and commercial, large-scale production of advanced biofuels must be bridged. Building a bio-refinery plant costs more than $100 million, and it takes 3-4 years to complete the construction. Achieving the national energy and climate goals will require a large, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable bio-based industry. Limitations in technology and economies of scale are some of the factors responsible for the high production cost of bio-based platform chemicals. Lack of knowledge and commercialization of bio-based platform chemicals are also expected to hinder the growth of the global bio-based platform chemicals market. The competitive and optimized value chain for the production of these chemicals and downstream products is essential for competing with petroleum-based organic chemicals.
This bio-based platform chemicals market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
The outbreak of respiratory and infectious diseases like COVID-19 in the region has impacted the growth of the bio-based platform chemicals market in APAC. Several countries such as China, India, Nepal, Pakistan, South Korea, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines were under partial or full lockdowns due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. As of July 7, 2021, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in India was around 0.8 million, and the number of deaths was approximately 0.4 million. Owing to safety measures and stringent regulations, all manufacturing industries in the region have been highly affected. Their production units were either closed or halted, which impacted the growth of the bio-based platform chemicals market in the region in 2020. However, lockdowns have been lifted, and the number of COVID-19 cases in China, Indonesia, and South Korea has been declining since 2021. This will help the regional market to recover its losses during the forecast period.
