Type of post: FLASH NEWS.

- The Joint Research Centre (JRC) has released a Science for Policy report entitled “Insights into the European market of bio-based chemicals. Analysis based on ten key product categories”.
- Highlights: The EU produces 4.7 Mt/a of biobased chemicals which represents a bio-based share of about 3.0%; Under a business-as-usual scenario, the overall bio-based share of the market is not expected to increase rapidly, with an estimated Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.6%; Hurdles are still present in the development of the bio-based industry but also big opportunities have been identified and new policy measures could help.
