Plastic-eating bacteria refer to a group of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, capable of decomposing plastic polymers. These microorganisms hold significant potential for addressing the growing global issue of plastic waste accumulation. As plastics persist in the environment for hundreds of years without biodegrading, microbes that can break down plastic offer a promising alternative for advancing recycling technologies. Their specialized enzymes enable them to degrade complex plastic polymers into simpler components, facilitating faster plastic degradation compared to natural processes.

Advancements in genetics and biotechnology have spurred further research into these plastic-eating microbes, creating optimism about their potential to mitigate plastic pollution. Companies specializing in the development and commercialization of plastic-degrading bacteria are well-positioned to benefit from the increasing global push for stricter plastic waste reduction policies. This trend is driving the growth of the market for plastic-eating bacteria. However, high development costs and the need for significant funding or economies of scale may impede the broader adoption of these solutions and limit their market expansion in the short term.

Challenges:
A key challenge hindering the growth of the plastic-eating bacteria market is the presence of stringent regulations, a shortage of skilled professionals, and the lack of standardized protocols, particularly in emerging economies, where factors such as lockdowns and isolation have further exacerbated these issues. Additionally, concerns regarding biosafety and potential ecological impacts arise from the intentional release and spread of genetically modified bacteria in natural environments. In contrast to controlled industrial settings, where degradation occurs under managed conditions, unintended consequences for other species or ecosystems may occur, leading to resistance. Addressing these concerns surrounding human and environmental safety is crucial for gaining public acceptance of bacteria-based solutions for large-scale plastic waste management, such as in river and ocean cleanups. Developing strategies to mitigate these challenges is essential for overcoming these limitations. The COVID-19 pandemic has also caused disruptions across various sectors, including global healthcare management, necessitating the digitalization of services and adaptation of work practices to enhance resilience and protect consumer support.

Regional Trends:
The North American market for plastic-eating bacteria is expected to capture a significant share of market revenue. The region is projected to experience strong growth, driven by increasing research and development efforts from both small enterprises and major companies. North American businesses are benefiting from the adoption of integrated enterprise solutions, enhancing their operational flexibility and efficiency. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region holds a considerable market share, with proactive governmental initiatives in several countries contributing to its market growth. By implementing effective safety measures, service providers in this region are able to improve workforce productivity, output, and revenue.

Recent Developments:

• In October 2023, Carbios and DSEC, announced their partnership to build the first PET recycling plant in the world. De Smet has been responsible for overseeing the project and providing comprehensive engineering, procurement support, and management of the CARBIOS partners to build the plant in Longlaville as per the agreement.

• In Jan 2023, Carbios and Novozymes have enhanced their collaboration through a long-term exclusive strategic alliance to maintain global dominance in the biorecycling of PET.
