Raws li Nyiv Biodegradable Plastics Research Association, cov khoom ntim ntawm biodegradable plastics hauv Nyiv yog kwv yees li 10000 tons hauv 2002, 20000 tons hauv 2003, 40000 tons hauv 2005, thiab xav tias yuav ncav cuag 100000 txog 200000 tons los ntawm 2010.
Raws li European Bioplastic Association, xyoo 2001 cov duab qhia tau hais tias kev noj cov khoom siv biodegradable hauv European Union yog 25000 txog 30000 tons, thaum noj cov tshuaj polymers yog siab li 35 lab tons. Lub koom haum European Bioplastic tau kwv yees tias kev noj cov tshuaj polymers yuav ncav cuag 55 lab tons hauv xyoo 2010, thaum kev noj cov khoom siv biodegradable yuav ncav cuag 500000 txog 1 lab tons los ntawm thaum ntawd. Cov ntaub ntawv biodegradable thaum kawg tuaj yeem tuav 10% kev ua lag luam. Qhov kev faib ua feem ntawm cov khoom siv txuas ntxiv siv tau los ua cov khoom siv raw hauv cov ntaub ntawv biodegradable yuav ntau dua 90%.
Raws li kev txheeb cais ntawm Degradable Plastics Professional Committee ntawm Tuam Tshoj Plastics Association, tus nqi ntawm biodegradable cov ntaub ntawv siv nyob rau hauv Tuam Tshoj xyoo 2003 yog hais txog 15000 tons, ntawm uas muaj txog 1000 tons yog biodegradable polymers tsis muaj hmoov txhuv nplej siab ntxiv. Xyoo 2005, muaj txog 30 lub tuam txhab koom nrog biodegradable plastics, muaj peev xwm tsim tau 60000 tons hauv ib xyoos. Qhov tseeb ntau lawm yog kwv yees li 30000 tons, thiab kev lag luam hauv tsev xav tau txog 50000 tons. Kev xa tawm txawv teb chaws yog 10000 tons, thiab xa tawm yog 20000 tons. Nws xav tias lub peev xwm ntau lawm yuav ncav cuag ib ncig ntawm 250000 tons hauv xyoo 2010, raws li tau piav qhia hauv "Prospective China Biodegradable Plastics Industry Deep Research and Investment Strategy Planning Analysis Report".
