18.7% CAGR for Lactic and Polylactic Acid (PLA) Market Globally to 2019 Says a New Research Report Available at ReportsnReports.com
(PRWEB) August 18, 2014 -- Polylactic acid (PLA) is a transparent plastic made of natural resources. The manufacture of PLA includes fermentation of raw materials such as corn (maize), sugarcane, sugar beet, wheat, and rice to produce lactic acid. This is further polymerized to produce polylactic acid (PLA). The biodegradable nature and the use of bio-based raw materials make PLA an effective plastic polymer across various applications. The majority of PLA applications include packaging, which includes short-lived packaging foils used in yoghurt cups, fruit, vegetable, and meat packaging. Further applications include uses in medical science, agriculture, textiles, and so on.
The market for PLA is being driven by increased sustainability and reduced dependence on oil-based products, as there are no other commercially equivalent or better bio-plastic alternatives that are currently available. Further technological advancements in the production capabilities and enhancing properties of polymers are projected to fuel the growth.
The packaging industry is estimated to be the largest market for PLA in 2014, followed by the textile segment.
