Rising Environmental Awareness is Driving the Global Polylactic Acid (PLA) Market

Published: Jan 2020

The global polylactic acid market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027). The market growth is mainly attributed owing to its biodegradability and environmentally friendly features. Rising environmental awareness among consumers is leading to increasing demand for sustainable packaging across industry verticals such as consumer packaging goods (such as P&G), retail trade, wholesale, healthcare (such as Johnson & Johnson), food & beverage (such as McCormick & Company). In a very fast-pace PLA is becoming a widespread substitute for conventional petroleum-based plastics. There are several countries following the strategy of banning the commercialization of plastic grocery bags to save the environment. These countries include China, South Africa, Ireland, San Francisco, and Uganda, and others. This resulted in an increasing demand for PLA that acts as a viable and biodegradable replacement to petroleum-based products.
