Also, emerging countries across the globe are focusing on increasing PLA production in order to environmental concerns worldwide. This trend is expected to continue and will boost growth of the global industry in the near future.
COVID-19 Impact on Global Polylactic Acid Market
Outburst of COVID-19 has impacted on most of the key markets across the globe however COVID-19 is projected to have low impact on the target market as the use of Polylactic Acid is finding special significance. Due to COVID-19, adoption of the polylactic acid has been decreased in the fashion apparel market as the demand form the end use costumers has been decreased. On the other hand the demand for the personal protective apparel has been increased dramatically and in turn the adoption of the polylactic acid increased in the textile industry during the critical times of COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has encouraged the key operating players in the textile market to launch innovative products. Major industries including packaging, electronics, and bio-medical affected due to the distribution in the supply chain as well as lockdown situation worldwide. However, COVID-19 situation is resolving slowly and most of the industries are started their facilities at full capacity.
Future of Global Polylactic Acid Market
Due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, usage of polylactic acid has been increased in the textile industry which can have positive impact on the growth of the global polylactic acid over the forecast period. Packaging industry plays vital role in the growth of the polylactic acid industry. However, growing awareness among the consumers regarding heightened hygiene due to the pandemic has forced major packaging companies to innovate and come up with the advanced products and this challenge needs to overcome to get competitive edge in industry. PLA due to its excellent chemical properties, used in the range of applications as raw materials. So the major players in this industry as well as emerging companies are focusing on the capacity addition of polylactic acid this trend is expected to continue and will augment growth of the polylactic acid industry in the next 10 years.
