The environmental dilemma caused by reaching high levels of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere is one of the major drivers for the market studied. Also, the dumping of non-degradable waste in landfills and oceans is harming the environment. Additionally, the fluctuation in oil prices and the change of laws in the usage of petroleum-based plastics have helped accelerate the demand for these biodegradable compounds. Major challenges, such as climate change, energy security, food security, rising human population, and global economic meltdowns, have increased the need for sustainable economic growth that may not have a negative impact on the environment. In this regards, one of the major issues faced by the world remains the replacement of toxic releasing and non-biodegradable polymer.  In order to curb land and air pollution caused due to non-biodegradable plastics, governments across the world have come up with numerous regulations and policies regarding the use of conventional synthetic polymers. Further, they have been promoting the use of eco-friendly and biodegradable materials for the production of polymers.  These polymers are derived from starch, making it a perfect biodegradable replacement for petroleum or fuel-based polymers. Biopolymers are non-toxic and are easier to recycle. Hence, they take less time to break down, which helps in the protection of the environment.

The propane is used as an alternative transportation fuel owing to the high-energy density, clean-burning qualities, and relatively low cost than gasoline, diesel fuel. As the gasoline prices are rising, propane offers viable option as an alternative-fuel source. For instance, on May 2019, the national average price per gallon of propane autogas was USD 1.45. The national average cost of regular grade gasoline was USD 2.86. Owing to such increasing price in the gasoline, the demand for propane is likely to increase in the transportation sector. Also, various proposals has been initiated to replace the diesel vehicles. For instance, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for USD 12,961,400 introduced for school bus replacements by replacing diesel school buses to propane school buses. Such initiatives are boosting the demand for the propane market over the forecast period. Furthermore, in the residential sector, propane is widely used for heating and powering certain appliances. Applications, such as barbeques, water heaters, clothes dryers, stoves, etc., run by propane. As propane is affordable, cleaner alternative to oil, cheaper than electricity and more effective than natural gas, the demand for propane in residential sector is surging.
