Biodegradable polymers such as polycaprolactone (PCL) are being adopted by industries as ecological consciousness and legislation regarding plastic waste increase. It is finding greater use in green production, 3D printing, and eco-friendly packaging. Use of PCL as a replacement for traditional petroleum-based polymers is increasing as governments and corporations opt for biodegradable plastics.

Increasing Demand for Sustainable and Biodegradable Polymers: Companies are incorporating biodegradable materials such as PCL as environmental awareness increases. There is demand for sustainable solutions in the medical, packaging, and consumer products industries driving research. Companies are exploring bio-based PCL production processes to decrease their dependence on fossil fuels, backing global sustainability efforts and green material-fostering policies.

India's focus on biodegradable materials and sustainable material usage is leading to the growth of the market in the country. Government initiatives like "Make in India" and Plastic Waste Management Rules favor local manufacturing and green alternatives. Indian biotech firms, in 2024, collaborated with educational institutions to create PCL-based implants because of the growing demand for biodegradable implants. To minimize their environmental footprint, Indian firms are also utilizing PCL into agricultural and packaging applications. India is also becoming a major player in the bioplastics market because the increasing 3D printing and medical device sectors have a greater need for PCL for biodegradable sutures and scaffolds.
