Description
Polylactic Acid (PLA) is thermoplastic polyester
derived from renewable feedstock such as corn
starch, sugarcane, wheat and tapioca roots. PLA
products contain bio-based renewable
constituents. The global PLA market is expected
to reach a market size of 5.2 billion by 2020,
growing at a CAGR of 19.5 during 2013 to 2020.
Limited fossil fuel resources and rising
petrochemical price are the key factors driving
the market. Limited fossil fuel resources, is an
important reason for governments and companies to
find substitutes to crude oil based products.
Growing environmental concerns and government
regulations is further assisting in adoption of
PLA by end users of final products as well as
manufacturers in industries such as textile,
packaging, transportation, electronics,
etc.  However, there are certain factors that
are hindering the growth of the market. Though
PLA is a bio-based material and can be degraded
completely, it requires specific industrial
composting system to get completely degraded.
Moreover, there are other renewable packaging
alternatives hitting the market, for example
agricultural fiber products produced using
natural fibers such as bamboo, bagasse, bulrush
and palm fiber.
