Polylactic Acid Market: Application and Innovation with Leading Manufacturers

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable and compostable thermoplastic produced from fermentable sugar available in various renewable sources, such as corn starch, sugarcane, tapioca roots and wheat. Easy availability of low cost raw material would drive the market growth. Furthermore, increasing popularity of newer applications (like coated cellophane, agricultural mulching, non-woven fibers, and active packaging among others) across various end user industries such as food and beverage packaging, agriculture, electronics, textiles, Bio medical and others would open new growth avenues in the global polylactic acid market. However, factors such as high production cost, need for industrial composting, popularity of competing alternatives for renewable packaging such as Bio- PE, PHA, and Bio-PET would impede the PLA market growth.

The new report, "Polylactic Acid (PLA) Market - Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2014 - 2020", published by Allied Market Research state that, the polylactic acid market was worth $305.6 million in 2014 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.9% during 2015-2020 owing to the rising environmental awareness, increasing popularity of newer applications and the favorable government policies. notes that packaging application segment would continue to dominate the global polylactic acid market during 2014-2020.

Analyst Review :

The factors that are currently impacting the PLA market currently are awareness on environment safety, increasing price of substitutes and raw materials of substitutes such as petrochemicals. Government across the globe have imposed ban on the use of plastic bags and also provide incentives for PLA production process. This has encouraged the shift towards PLA production. Additionally the petrochemicals that are major raw material for conventional plastics are significantly increasing therefore; the manufacturers are looking for effective substitutes.

The conventional polymers are not biodegradable and lead plastic waste that remain in the soil for thousand or more years. Industrial composting enables degradability of PLA. However, the fact remains that it also takes several years for PLA to be bio degraded in normal conditions.

The North America consumed about half of the total PLA production in 2014 and would continue to have increased consumption over the forecast period with over 85% of the PLA production facilities currently located in North America. Europe is estimated to be the second largest market in terms of consumption largely due to supportive legal framework and consumer awareness towards sustainability.
