The market growth of polylactic acid (PLA) is being driven by the pollution control measures and preference for environmentally friendly products across the globe. Further, the growth of textile, packaging, and electronics industries in the developing economies like India and China due to the advancement in technology and accelerated consumer demand is aiding the market growth of polylactic acid (PLA). Therefore, the market within the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at a robust speed over the forecast period. In the economies of Europe, the market is facilitated by the strict government norms and regulations, which has led industries to use bioplastic rather than the conventional plastic synthesised from petroleum. Moreover, North America, on the basis of production, is a significant region owing to the availability of raw materials.
Polylactic acid (PLA), a thermoplastic aliphatic polymer, has a chemical formula (C3H4O2)n. This acid is a semi-crystalline and biodegradable hydrophobic polymer, which has a good mechanical strength. The product is compostable, which means it can be broken down under certain conditions into biodegradable components, making it an ideal material for packaging across different industries like food and beverages and consumer products.
