Lactic Acid Market by Application (Biodegradable Polymers, Food & Beverages, Pharmaceutical Products), Raw Materials, Form (Dry and Liquid), and Region, Polylactic Acid Market, Application, Form, and Region - Global Forecast to 2028
“Surging customer demand for sustainable substitutes of petrochemical-based products is significantly driving the growth of the lactic acid market.”
Growing environmental concerns have led to a greater emphasis on eco-friendly solutions. Lactic acid, derived from renewable sources like corn starch or sugarcane, offers a greener alternative to petrochemicals. As businesses strive to reduce their carbon footprint and promote sustainability, the demand for lactic acid has seen a notable surge. The biodegradable nature of lactic acid presents a significant advantage. It can naturally break down without leaving harmful residues or contributing to environmental pollution. This characteristic is particularly advantageous in industries that require biodegradable materials, such as packaging and plastics, where lactic acid can be a viable choice. Governments and regulatory bodies are increasingly promoting the use of sustainable alternatives to petrochemicals. Various initiatives and regulations encourage the adoption of bio-based and renewable materials, providing further impetus to the lactic acid market.
“Europe is anticipated to have the highest share in the polylactic acid market, valued at 33.4% during the forecast period.”
Europe accounts for USD 0.4 Billion of the market size in global market for polylactic acid in 2023. The polylactic acid (PLA) market in Europe is witnessing remarkable growth, driven by the region's strong focus on sustainability and environmental consciousness. There is a growing awareness among consumers, businesses, and governments regarding the negative environmental impact of traditional plastics. As a biodegradable and renewable alternative, PLA is being widely embraced as a solution to reduce plastic waste and carbon footprint. European governments have implemented stringent regulations and policies that encourage the use of sustainable materials and the reduction of plastic waste, providing a favorable environment for the adoption of bio-based and biodegradable plastics like PLA. The volume and environmental impact of some plastic items are both subject to EU regulations. The EU has taken measures to combat plastic pollution. Single-use plastic plates, cutlery, straws, balloon sticks, and cotton buds were outlawed beginning on July 3, 2021, on the markets of EU Member States. This regulatory support incentivizes companies to transition to PLA for packaging, food service products, and other applications, thereby propelling market growth.
“Corn is the most frequently employed raw material in the production of lactic acid.”
Corn is abundantly available and widely cultivated, making it a reliable and cost-effective source for lactic acid production. Its widespread cultivation provides a stable supply chain and ensures consistent availability of raw materials. Additionally, corn contains high levels of starch, which can be easily converted into glucose, the primary substrate for lactic acid fermentation. The efficient conversion of corn starch into glucose enables high yields and cost-effective production of lactic acid. Furthermore, the established infrastructure and expertise in corn processing make it a preferred choice for lactic acid manufacturers, allowing for efficient extraction and processing of the raw material. The utilization of corn as the primary raw material in lactic acid production aligns with its economic viability, availability, and ease of conversion, making it a practical and widely adopted choice in the industry.
“The bakery & confectionery sub-segment of the application segment of lactic acid market is anticipated to be valued the largest at USD 0.3 billion in 2028.”
The market for confectionery and bakery items is gradually rising due to the rise in convenience food demand and consumer desire for enticing, delectable, and textural treats. The availability, affordability, and nutritional value of bakery goods are further elements influencing their continued existence in the modern market. Products from bakeries have become a staple in the diets of many customers. This has increased demand for the various baking ingredients used to create savory and textured baked goods. The American Bakers Association estimates that bakery products represent around 2.1% of the US gross domestic product. Lactic acid serves as a versatile ingredient that enhances the quality and shelf life of bakery and confectionery products. It acts as a natural preservative, inhibiting the growth of mold and bacteria, thereby extending the product's freshness and reducing the need for artificial additives. Moreover, lactic acid contributes to the desirable texture, flavor, and color development in baked goods and confections. It imparts a mild tanginess, which adds complexity and depth to the taste profile of various products, including bread, pastries, and candies. With the rising consumer demand for natural ingredients, lactic acid's ability to perform multiple functions while aligning with clean-label requirements has made it an attractive choice for the bakery and confectionery industry.
“The liquid segment of the global lactic acid market is projected to grow and have the largest market share for the forecasted year.“
In 2023, the market was led by the liquid form category. The versatility of liquid lactic acid is expected to be a significant driver of its market growth. Liquid lactic acid offers a wide range of applications across various industries, including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and cleaning products. Its fluid form allows for easy incorporation into different formulations, making it adaptable to diverse product requirements. In the food industry, liquid lactic acid serves as a natural preservative, pH regulator, and flavor enhancer, enhancing the shelf life and taste of various products. It finds use in dairy, bakery, confectionery, and meat processing, among others. In the pharmaceutical industry, liquid lactic acid is utilized for drug formulation, controlled-release systems, and as a chiral intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The personal care industry benefits from its use in skincare, hair care, and cosmetic products due to its moisturizing, exfoliating, and pH-balancing properties. Additionally, liquid lactic acid plays a vital role in the production of biodegradable polymers, cleaning agents, and industrial applications. With its wide-ranging applications and versatility, the market for liquid lactic acid is poised for growth as industries increasingly recognize its benefits and utilize it in innovative ways..
