Bio-based markets, enabled by synthetic biology and increased emphasis on sustainability, are growing in the United States and around the world. Over the last five years, an exponential increase in investments in synthetic biology has been observed. Large amounts of renewable carbon in the form of fermentable sugars will be required to enable the production of next-generation biopolymer, biochemical, biofuel, and food products. In North America, sugars from corn (maize) will be the most abundant carbon source available to drive the industrial biotechnology engine. The demand for renewable carbon will improve stability in agricultural economies and support regional agricultural job creation. Traditional corn processing facilities are responding to this need by retrofitting their processing facilities to produce low-cost sugars or redirecting sugars from shrinking high-fructose corn syrup and dextrose markets to high-growth industrial biotechnology markets. However, there are still challenges that must be overcome to convert this opportunity into commercial reality. To succeed, new product and process development initiatives must meet economic, regulatory, quality, and other requirements within budget and time constraints. Translational research facilities that are specifically intended to accelerate commercialization and reduce the risk of utilizing new technologies will play a crucial role in realizing the opportunities offered by industrial biotechnology. Growth in Industrial Biotechnology Industrial biotechnology is growing at a fast pace in the United States and around the world, shaping the biorefineries of the future and the development of biomaterials, renewable chemicals, bio-based ingredients, foods, and agricultural products. Recent estimates by the Biotechnology Innovation Organization put the global economic value of industrial biotechnology at US$355 billion (2). There are many reasons for this tremendous growth in industrial biotechnology (13). For example, • Sustainability has become a megatrend in consumer products • Advancements in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering • Availability of abundant, low-cost carbon required for fermentation • Bridging of the gap between innovations and commercialization for biorefineries Sustainability as a Megatrend Industrial biotechnology is enabling a circular economy with increased use of renewables, production of new materials that reduce waste and have superior functionality, products with better life cycles and improved compostability, and use of materials that have better reuse and upcycling applications at end-of-life (15). Major consumer goods companies are using higher amounts of biopolymers and highlighting the sustainability of their products to market them. Consumers also are demanding greener products, which is creating a market demand for bioproducts. nova-Institute’s new market and trend report estimates that the total production volume of bio-based polymers was 8.0 million to
