Polylactic Acid (PLA) Market: Overview

Polylactic acid has risen in industry attention on the back of growing popularity of bioplastics. Vast range of use of PLA plastics in commercial and industrial applications are key to increasing investments in the PLA market. polylactic acid is derived from renewable resources such as sugarcane and corn starch. PLA has been used in the production of plastic films, plastic bottles, automotive parts, and most prominently food packaging and medical devices. The biodegradability is a key proposition in the polylactic acid market. In addition, PLA has marked aesthetics, remarkable resistance to oil, grease, and UV rays, and better printability, spurring its demand in food packaging applications.

Some of the key industries where research analysts have been evaluating the growth prospects in the polylactic acid market are agriculture, electronics, transport, and textiles.

Polylactic Acid Market: Key Trends

Rising demand for PLA in production of bio-based, biodegradable plastics is a key trend bolstering prospects in the PLA market. Over the past years, developing and developed world have witnessed companies increasing their production of bioplastics, thus boosting the market growth. Rising demand for PLA in the manufacturing of stents and sutures is attributed to the strides being made by the medical industry around the world.

In recent years, on account of remarkable biodegradability and biocompatibility, PLA is being utilized in making personal care products. However, several countries lack an adequate infrastructure for composting PLA-based products. Oftentimes, they need to be taken to industrial plants. This has raised huge concern for stakeholders the entire value, with growing number of skeptics challenging the hype around PLA-based plastics. 

Volatility in raw material prices is another concern. Nevertheless, governments are working out to address such issues and promote the production of PLA. One of the foremost trends that will spur growth momentum in the PLA market is the growing demand for eco-friendly plastics in commercial applications in wide spectrum of sectors.
