The bio-based materials and chemicals industry is
poised to attract nearly $1 billion in investment this year, led notably by
later-stage funding rounds, according to Lux Research. The estimated $974
million investment represents a 28% increase from 2013, suggesting companies
that endured the waves of economic disruption have gained maturity and regained
investors’ confidence.
“Over the last two years, funding for bio-based materials and chemicals has shifted decisively toward later-stage rounds, reflecting the growing maturing of the industry and the shift from R&D to production,” said Meraldo Antonio, Lux Research Associate and the lead author of the report titled, ‘Dynamics of venture capital funding in the bio-based chemicals industry’
