Market Overview
Over the years, plastic has been able to make a strong presence in the global manufacturing industry and it is increasingly replacing other materials in new application areas. However, this has resulted in an increase in plastic waste generation as plastic take years or century to degrade. This has created a huge market opportunity for biodegradable plastics. Polylactic acid is a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch (in the US and Canada), cassava roots, chips or starch (mostly in Asia), or sugarcane (in the rest of the world). The future of polylactic acid is looking positive as it can be produced using the same equipment as petrochemical plastics plus with rising oil prices, renewable-based plastic has financial benefits too.

COVID-19 Impact
The recent covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the world and has brought a state of shock to the global economy. The global pandemic has impacted the packaging and consumer goods industries. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the polylactic acid market as companies operating in consumer goods and packaging across the globe faced financial losses due to stringent steps adopted by the governments in order to curtail the spread of the disease.
The global polylactic acid market report is studied thoroughly with several aspects that would help stakeholders in making their decisions more curated.
Based on grades, the market is categorized into thermoforming, injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and others. Among these, thermoforming accounted for a significant share in the market and is likely to maintain a strong position during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its fully compostable and degradable properties coupled with similar properties to a number of conventional petrochemical-based resins. As a result, it is used in many application areas like food & beverage packaging.
Based on end-user, the market is categorized into packaging, consumer goods, agricultural, textile, medical, and others. Among these, packaging accounted for a prominent share in the market owing to the large and growing packaging industry and increasing adoption of sustainable packaging solutions. Further, it is expected to grow at a substantial rate over the forecast period as governments across the globe are trying to ban the use of single-use plastic. This can help in promoting the market for biodegradable plastics. For instance, in January 2020, the Chinese government banned several types of single-use plastics, effective in major cities by the end of 2020 and nationwide by 2025. Notably, “degradable plastics” are exempt from the single-use plastics ban.

Polylactic Acid Market Geographical Segmentation Includes:
North America (the United States, Canada, and the Rest of North America)
Europe (Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, and the Rest of Europe)
Asia-Pacific (China, India, Australia, Japan, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific)
Rest of the World
Asia-Pacific is expected to showcase significant growth during the forecast period owing to the large base of the end-use industry that is increasingly focusing on sustainable alternatives. Industries like packaging are among the largest consumer of plastic in the region, as governments of various nations are taking stringent regulations to control the environmental issue, the industry is looking for a better alternative like biodegradable plastics. This might increase the market size of polylactic acid as the region is capable of producing polylactic acid on a large scale due to the availability of raw materials in abundance. Further, regional countries are extensively dependent on other countries for crude oil, therefore, to reduce the dependency on crude oil, the regional economies are increasingly taking strategic decisions to promote biobased products. This in turn is expected to promote the use of biobased and biodegradable plastics including polylactic acid.
