The biodegradable polymers application segment is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Based on application, the lactic acid market is dominated by the biodegradable polymers. The biodegradable polymers segment is estimated to dominate the market for lactic acid, on the basis of application, in terms of value, in 2020. In recent years, the use of lactic acid in biodegradable polymers is growing significantly, mainly due to the rise in awareness among consumers and increased consumption of biodegradable plastic packaging in the food application segment. Furthermore, lactic acid is widely used in the food & beverages industry as an acidulate and preservative.
The packaging application segment is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Based on application, the polylactic acid market is dominated by the packaging. The packaging segment is projected to dominate the polylactic acid market. PLA has numerous competitive advantages in the packaging industry over petrochemical-based polymers, as they are biodegradable and obtained from 100% natural sources. This helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, lowering carbon footprints, and easy manipulation of structure-property-processing relations during production. Furthermore, with the rise in awareness among consumers, the transition to PLA packaging has become significant as government associations have been concerned and are encouraging the use of environment-friendly policies.
The Asia Pacific region is the fastest growing in the lactic acid and polylactic acid market during the forecast period.
The North American region accounted for the largest share in 2019, in terms of value, in the global lactic acid market, whereas the Asia Pacific region is projected to be the fastest growing in the global lactic acid market. The market growth in the Asia Pacific region is mainly due to the increase in consumption of processed food, in which lactic acid is used as one of the major additives that enhance the shelf life of processed and packaged foods. Furthermore, the increase in demand for biodegradable packaging in food products is also projected to drive the market growth in the Asia Pacific region.
