North America leading Polylactic Acid (PLA) exporter

Mumbai, Maharashtra, August 17, 2020 – Prismane Consulting is pleased to publish its Polylactic acid (PLA) Market Study Report and Techno-Commercial Market Model. This report forms a part of the Bio-plastics Strategy report recently published by Prismane Consulting.
Polylactic acid (PLA), a stable, renewable, odorless thermoplastic polyester is a biodegradable biopolymer obtained by direct condensation of lactic acid monomers. The major end-use applications include food & beverages packaging, cosmetics packaging, agriculture, automotives, electronics, textiles, medical and other niche applications which include 3D printing applications. The PLA market is primarily driven by packaging which apparently also accounts for a major share of the global demand. The demand for PLA in packaging is increasing at a rapid pace in North America, followed by Asia and Europe. United States emerged as the largest producer and exporter of PLA globally. PLA exports from the US were valued over $200 million in 2019 followed by Netherlands with exports worth $109 million. The increase in the use of polylactic acid (PLA) is driven by the shifting consumer preference towards environmental-friendly and sustainable products. North America has been and will continue being a net exporter of PLA in the long-term forecast, with majority of exports directed towards Europe.
