Press Releases

The global polylactic acid market is anticipated to have significant growth and will grow at an 18.3% CAGR during the forecast period 2025-2030 as PLA is widely used in several packaging applications of food & beverage and other consumer products which have a short shelf life. Also, due to its versatility, PLA can be employed in a variety of high-value applications across a wide range of industries, including textiles, construction, and automotive. Because of the rising demand and pricing for petroleum and petroleum-based products such as synthetic plastics, the industry prefers polylactic acid to conventional plastic. Furthermore, the rising awareness regarding environmental safety, rising demand, and application from several industry verticals to have green, eco-friendly packaging alternatives, less carbon footprint, increased demand for bioplastics, surging government initiatives to spread awareness will propel the growth of the polylactic acid market.

In November 2021, Danimer Scientific, Inc. and Total Corbion PLA, two leading bioplastics firms focused on the discovery and production of biodegradable materials, have announced a long-term collaboration for the supply of Luminy® PLA, a biobased polymer used to make compostable products.

The COVID-19 epidemic had a minor impact on the polylactic acid market, as increased demand for personal protective gear in the textile industry, as well as higher demand from the packaging industry due to improved sanitation, drove demand for polylactic acid.
