Global Polylactic Acid Market to Grow at a CAGR of 19.9%, 2017-2021 with BASF, Corbion, NatureWorks & Synbra Technology Leading the Way – Research and Markets

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Global
Polylactic Acid Market 2017-2021” report has been added to Research
and Markets’ offering.

The global polylactic acid market is expected to grow at a CAGR of
19.99% during the period 2017-2021.

The report, Global Polylactic Acid Market 2017-2021, has been prepared
based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts.
The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the
coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the Key vendors
operating in this market.

One trend in the market is increasing use of PLA by automotive
manufacturers. PLA meets all the performance specifications that have
been formulated by original equipment manufacturers (OEM), except for
abrasion resistance and flammability. It is found that fabrics derived
from PLA perform equally or better than that derived from PET. PLA
materials are being increasingly adopted as they ensure lightweight
parts in comparison with synthetic counterparts.

According to the report, one driver in the market is easy availability
of raw materials. PLA is commonly produced from plant-based raw
materials, which are easily available. The production process of PLA
involves the use of corn-starch or sugarcane as raw materials. These are
easily available in the market, thereby acting as a driver for the
global PLA market during the forecast period. Lactic acid is obtained
from the fermentation of starch or sugar and then it is used in the
production of PLA which is more biodegradable than conventional plastic
that is derived from petrochemicals.
