Polylactic Acid Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing Demand For Bioplastics
Bioplastics are environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional plastics, notably in flexible and rigid packaging applications, because they are bio-based, compostable, and biodegradable in nature. The rising application of bioplastics in packaging, automotive & transport, agriculture, electronics, and other applications is expected to augment the demand for polylactic acid over the forecast period. Polylactic acid was traditionally used in packaging and medical applications but is now gaining acceptance in the automotive industry. In the automotive industry, it is used in interior parts of vehicles, such as floor mats, upholstery, protective wrapping, and under-the-hood components. Bioplastics are derived from biomass, such as animals, plants, and trees, and some are derived from food waste. Their usage can help reduce the dependency on fossil-fuel-based petroleum products for plastic production and reduce carbon footprint as well. A key factor driving the growth of the flexible packaging market is increased focus on sustainable products.
Driver: Growing Demand From The Flexible Packaging Industry
PLA packaging provides an environment-friendly solution and helps in enhancing the appearance of the final product. Use of PLA packaging in green packaging of various food products is likely to improve its growth prospects over the forecast period. The growing use of bioplastics in flexible packaging is expected to fuel the growth of the polylactic acid market. Growing demand for food, on account of increasing global population, is one of the key trends augmenting the market growth. With the advancements in manufacturing technology, the usage of enhanced packaging and case-ready packaging practices are expected to benefit the polylactic acid market. Asia Pacific is projected to dominate the packaging market over the forecast period due to the flourishing food & beverage sector, particularly in China and India.
Restraint: Price Competitiveness
The premium pricing of polylactic acid as compared to conventional polymers, including polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polystyrene (PS), is one of the key factors restraining the growth of the global PLA market. One of the major cost factors is the raw material used in the fermentation process. Furthermore, polylactic acid has certain limitations as compared to conventional plastics, i.e., it can warp and distort at relatively low temperatures. PLA does not compost fast enough for industrial composters and the residue is not composted nor does it improve the soil quality. PLA cannot be used for applications where impact resistance and toughness are critical as it is not the hardest or toughest plastic. Apart from price competitiveness, these factors are expected to have a negative impact on the market growth.

Research Methodology
A three-pronged approach was followed for deducing the polylactic acid market estimates and forecasts. The process has three steps: information procurement, analysis, and validation. The whole process is cyclical, and steps repeat until the estimates are validated. The three steps are explained in detail below:
Information procurement: Information procurement is one of the most extensive and important stages in our research process, and quality data is critical for accurate analysis. We followed a multi-channel data collection process for polylactic acid market to gather the most reliable and current information possible.
- We buy access to paid databases such as Hoover’s and Factiva for company financials, industry information, white papers, industry journals, SME journals, and more.
- We tap into Grand View’s proprietary database of data points and insights from active and archived monitoring and reporting.
- We conduct primary research with industry experts through questionnaires and one-on-one phone interviews.
- We pull from reliable secondary sources such as white papers and government statistics, published by organizations like WHO, NGOs, World Bank, etc., Key Opinion Leaders (KoL) publications, company filings, investor documents, and more.
- We purchase and review investor analyst reports, broker reports, academic commentary, government quotes, and wealth management publications for insightful third-party perspectives.
Analysis: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilized different methods of polylactic acid market data depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.
-
Market Research Efforts: Bottom-up Approach for estimating and forecasting demand size and opportunity, top-down Approach for new product forecasting and penetration, and combined approach of both Bottom-up and Top-down for full coverage analysis.
-
Value-Chain-Based Sizing & Forecasting: Supply-side estimates for understanding potential revenue through competitive benchmarking, forecasting, and penetration modeling.
-
Demand-side estimates for identifying parent and ancillary markets, segment modeling, and heuristic forecasting.
-
Qualitative Functional Deployment (QFD) Modelling for market share assessment.
Market formulation and validation: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilize different methods of data analysis depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.
-
Market Formulation: This step involves the finalization of market numbers. This step on an internal level is designed to manage outputs from the Data Analysis step.
-
Data Normalization: The final market estimates and forecasts are then aligned and sent to industry experts, in-panel quality control managers for validation.
-
This step also entails the finalization of the report scope and data representation pattern.
-
Validation: The process entails multiple levels of validation. All these steps run in parallel, and the study is forwarded for publishing only if all three levels render validated results.
