Excluding loose-fill packaging, which is a relatively more mature sector for starch-based biodegradable polymers, global market tonnage in 2005 is 71,700 tonnes and the compound annual growth rate for the period 2005-2010 is projected to be 20.3%. 

In 2005, Western Europe consumed 55,700 tonnes of biodegradable polymers compared with 15,500 tonnes in 2000. In 2010, Western European consumption of biodegradable polymers is forecast to reach 129,400 tonnes, which represents a compound annual growth rate of 18.4% during the period 2005-2010. 

PLA, with 45% of total volume, is the most widely used biodegradable polymer in North America, followed by starch with 38% and synthetics with the remaining 17%. PLA is also expected to show the fastest rate of growth over the forecast period with volumes increasing at a compound annual growth rate of 18.7%. Synthetic biodegradable polymer growth is not far behind at 18.5%. 

Consumption of biodegradable plastics increased from 5,800 tonnes in 2000 to 17,800 tonnes in 2005. During the period 2005-2010, Asia Pacific biodegradable plastics consumption is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 16.7% to reach 38,500 tonnes in 2010. 

World consumption of polylactic acid biodegradable polymers has increased significantly over the last five years as major suppliers such as Nature Works have brought their 140,000 tonnes per annum plant fully on stream. In 2005, world consumption of PLA amounted to 35,800 tonnes against 8,700 tonnes five years earlier. During the period 2005-2010, PLA consumption is forecast to reach 89,500 tonnes, which represents a compound annual growth rate of 20.1%. 

During the period 2000 to 2005, world consumption of synthetic biodegradable polymers has increased from 3,900 tonnes to 14,000 tonnes. In 2010, world consumption of synthetic biopolymers is projected to reach 32,800 tonnes. This represents a compound annual growth rate of 18.6% during the period 2005-2010. These forecasts assume that producers are successful in lowering the cost of production and that the price differential between synthetic biopolymers and standard thermoplastics continue to narrow.

Advanced manufacturing research (AMR), a market-analysis company that specializes in supply chain technology, estimates that there wiU be a 48% compound annual growth rate for supply-chain management software until 2003. That wiU put annual sales of these integrated suites at nearly 19 billion. Transportation management systems, with 1998 sales of 314 million, are expected to reach 1.9 billion by 2003 (Forger 1999).
