Driving Factors
The factors driving the growth of the global Lactic Acid market include End-user applications that have a high need for lactic acid and polylactic acid, increased demand for environmentally friendly alternative resources, technological advancements to promote lactic acid and polylactic acid production.
End-user applications that have a high need for lactic acid and polylactic acid
The market for lactic acid and polylactic acid has seen emerging trends, as evidenced by innovations and advances in a variety of end-user applications such as biopolymer, food & drinks, packaging, personal care & cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The biodegradable polymers business has seen substantial growth, notably in the North American and European regions, as consumers become more aware of the polymers made from polylactic acid. Polylactic acid (PLA) is already being used as a substitute in general-purpose packaging applications such as trays and yogurt cups by food packaging makers. These have been the most prevalent takeaway food packaging solutions.
Technological advancements to promote lactic acid and polylactic acid production
Technological advancements have enabled biotechnology to rapidly develop in the medical industry. A specific advancement has been the introduction of recombinant DNA technology in the microbial production of enzymes, vaccines, hormones, and bio-industrial products. This type of technology, when applied to the fermentation industry, has enabled the production of large quantities of lactic acid in relatively short periods.
Restraining factors
The factors such as raw material price fluctuations are limiting and concerns about the quality of lactic acid used in food and beverage products, are limiting the Lactic Acid market’s growth.
