Market Overview: Polylactic acid (PLA) is type of bioplastic made from renewable material such as sugarcane and corn starch which makes it different from the standard thermoplastic polymers. Polylactic acid, a type of polyester which is synthesized from lactic acid obtained through the fermentation of plant sugars. Its biodegradable property allows it to break down naturally overtime when exposed to suitable conditions, thus helps to limit the accumulation of plastic waste in landfills and oceans, preventing pollution of land and water respectively. PLA is safe for food and medical applications due to its low toxicity and absence of harmful chemicals. PLA can be molded, extruded and processed using various methods which makes it suitable for wide range of applications. PLA is a popular choice as its inexpensive and offers several advantageous mechanical properties compare to other biodegradable polymers. Because of qualities like bio-based, compostable and biodegradable in nature, bioplastics become eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastics. PLA packaging offers an eco-friendly method in reduction of environmental pollution and also aids in the improving the visual appeal of the product. It has become an essential element of sustainable packaging for various foot items which is anticipated to expand the market growth. The rising use of bio-based plastics in flexible packaging is likely to drive the growth of the PLA market. Additionally, the surge in global population and the rising demand for food are major factors contributing to market growth. PLA serves various industries such as packaging, textiles, automotives, electronics and medical and the is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
