In the present market scenario, Europe leads the global market, owning one-third of the total revenue generated by the sale of PLA for varied applications. Europe is believed to continue leading the market throughout the analysis period. Stringent regulations in Europe concerning materials used in packaging, is the primary reason for the dominance of the region. However, Asia Pacific would reap benefits from the opportunities available in the region and prove to be the fastest growing geographic region. Favorable government regulations, policies to impose ban on plastic packaging and rising concerns regarding use of environment-friendly products are the factors creating opportunities in this region.
As per the report, raw materials used in PLA manufacturing include corn, sugarcane, tapioca, and wheat. Wheat and tapioca are the most extensively used raw materials by PLA manufacturers around the world. PLA finds its application in packaging, electronics, textile (woven and non-woven), agriculture and bio-medical. The packaging segment witnesses the highest adoption rate during the analysis period. However, textile and electronics market would witness a sharp rise due to its widespread adoption.
Key players dominating the global PLA market include Nova Chemicals Corporation, Dow Chemical, Eastman Chemical, Nature Works, DuPont Corporation, Bayer AG, Exxon Mobil Chemical, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC), China Petroleum & Chemical, Corporation (Sinopec) and Braskem.
