The report is to find out true situation of China’s lactic acid and provide good understanding for the industry, with the latest information.

China has a long history in lactic acid production, and has witnessed fast development in this aspect in the past few years, playing an increasingly important role in global lactic acid supply. However, with rapid expansion, China’s lactic acid capacity has been surplus, due to limited domestic demand and slow growth in export. Facing this situation, how will Chinese manufacturers adjust their strategies to cope with the intense competition?

Given China’s overall lagging technology, quality of Chinese lactic acid is not so good as those produced in developed countries. Most Chinese lactic acid manufacturers mainly produce DL-lactic acid, and only a few manufacturers can produce high quality L-lactic acid which requires more complicated technology. However, L-lactic acid enjoys promising market potential in China, due to its special characteristics. What are the potential commercial opportunities in China's lactic acid industry?

PLA is drawing more and more attention in the world as plastic pollution is becoming increasingly serious, which is generated by the fermentation of starch and saccharides available from corn or directly synthesized from lactic acid of high optical purity. PLA industrialization in China is likely to achieve a breakthrough in recent years. What is the present situation of China’s PLA and what is PLA’s development trend in the future?

Through explorations in above-mentioned key aspects, you can find the answers to the following questions in the updated report.
- What is production situation of China's lactic acid in the past few years and in 2009?
- Who are the major manufacturers and exporters of lactic acid?
- What are the price trends of China's lactic acid?
- What's the import and export situation of lactic acid?
- What are the commercial opportunities in China's lactic acid industry?
- What are the key factors influencing the development of lactic acid industry?
- What is the development trend of lactic acid in the following five years?

Besides, based on the original report finished in early 2007, CCM has carried out in-depth research and analysis on each active producer, as well as the whole industry to figure out the future development trend. Aspects as follows have been updated:
- Import and export analysis in 2008
- Latest consumption situation in China
- Industry competition and structure analysis
- Latest first-hand data of each producer?

For deeper research and analysis, CCM has also focused on:
- Export/Import trend?
- Domestic consumption trend
- Raw material supply and price trend in the past five years
- Production situation and future development trend?

With the information covered in the report, the general production and consumption situation of lactic acid in China are informed. It is recommended that cooperating with related enterprises to develop high purity L-lactic acid and reduction of production cost are two good ways for Chinese lactic acid industry.
