Global Lactic Acid Market Analysis 2014-2017 & 2025 – Focus on Industrial, F&B, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care – Research and Markets

June 26, 2017

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “Lactic
Acid Market Analysis By Application (Industrial, F&B, Pharmaceuticals,
Personal Care) & Polylactic Acid (PLA) Market Analysis By Application
(Packaging, Agriculture, Transport, Electronics, Textiles), And Segment
Forecasts, 2014 – 2025” report to their offering.

The global lactic acid & polylactic acid market is expected to reach USD
9.8 billion and USD 6.5 billion respectively by 2025

Rising demand for lactic acid as pH regulator and preservatives for food
& beverages sector is expected to fuel its demand over the next eight
years. Growing cosmetic industry, on account of the increasing number of
manufacturing base by companies including Unilever, Johnson & Johnson,
and P&G in the U.S. is expected to drive industry expansion.

Growing consumer awareness regarding the need for sustainability,
biodegradability, recyclability, and green packaging is projected to
drive global PLA usage over the forecast period. Moreover, various
manufacturers are engaged in improving properties of PLA including
impact strength, flexibility, stiffness, barrier properties, thermal
stability, increase degradation rate, and reduce production costs, which
is likely to create immense market potential.

Pharmaceuticals accounted for 7.5% of the overall revenue share of
lactic acid in 2016 and are expected to witness high gains as the
product serves as a pH-regulation, chiral intermediate, and metal
sequestration as well as a natural body constituent. Increasing need for
pharmaceutical grade creams and other medicines among consumers is
expected to propel demand over the forecast period.
