Market Overview:

The Global Polylactic Acid Market is valued at USD 925.1 Million in the year 2021 and is projected to reach a value of USD 1334.7 Million by the year 2028. The Global Market is anticipated to grow to exhibit a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.3% over the forecast period. Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable hydrolyzable aliphatic semi-crystalline polyester. It is widely used in the production of microwaveable containers, such as food containers and disposable cutlery. It provides various beneficial properties, such as aesthetic appeal, resistance to grease & oil, better printability, and, others. Thus, it is widely used in the packaging industry. 

Increasing usage of Polylactic Acid in multiple end-use industries such as transport, packaging, agriculture, and textiles is a key driving factor in the growth of the market. Polylactic Acid produces low carbon emissions as compared to conventional plastics, which is expected to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period. In addition, increasing use of the packaged foods, snacks+, and ready-to-eat meals also increases the packaging product demand, which in turn, propels the growth of the market.
