The demand for polylactic acid (PLA) in the United States has seen a significant surge in recent years, driven by a combination of factors ranging from environmental concerns to technological advancements. PLA, a biodegradable and bio-based polymer derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane, has gained traction as a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. This shift towards eco-friendly materials is fueled by increasing awareness of the detrimental effects of plastic pollution on the environment, prompting consumers and businesses alike to seek more sustainable solutions.


The third-largest market share is held by the North American region, as this region witnesses steady growth. Rising investment in consumer goods and the electronic industry is also a driving factor. The presence of the US and Canada is also a driving factor.


One of the primary drivers of the growing demand for PLA in the US is the increasing emphasis on sustainability across various industries. With consumers becoming more environmentally conscious, there is a rising demand for products that are both eco-friendly and functional. PLA offers a viable alternative to conventional plastics in applications such as packaging, textiles, and consumer goods, providing companies with an opportunity to meet consumer preferences for sustainable products while reducing their carbon footprint. As a result, manufacturers are increasingly incorporating PLA into their product offerings, driving up demand in the US market.


Furthermore, government regulations and initiatives aimed at reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable practices have also played a crucial role in driving the demand for PLA. In recent years, several states and municipalities across the US have implemented bans or restrictions on single-use plastics, pushing businesses to explore alternative materials like PLA. Additionally, initiatives such as tax incentives for the use of bio-based materials and subsidies for renewable energy sources have further incentivized the adoption of PLA among businesses, contributing to the growth of the market.


Technological advancements in PLA production processes have also contributed to the increasing demand for PLA in the US. Continuous innovation in biopolymer manufacturing has led to improvements in PLA's performance characteristics, making it more versatile and cost-effective for a wide range of applications. Enhanced mechanical properties, improved heat resistance, and better processability have expanded the potential uses of PLA beyond its traditional applications, driving demand across various industries such as automotive, electronics, and healthcare.


Recent News


In the month of September 2023, Danimer Scientific and Chevron Phillips Chemical announced an alliance to advance high-volume biodegradable plastic products using Danimer’s Rinnovo polymers. This partnershіp aims at leveraging Danіmer’s expertise in PLA-baѕed bіoplastics to increase market presence аnd meet the increasing demand for eсo-friendly packaging alternatives.


As a result of this partnership, Jindan New Biomaterials from China and Sulzer will team up in May 2023 to produce polylactic acid (PLA), which is regarded as a bio-based plastic, utilizing Sulzer's licensed PLA technology. In Henan Province, Jindan has established a new production facility that is intended to manufacture about 750,000 tonnes of PLA per year, thus being primarily oriented towards the food packing industry, among others like molded goods and fiber production, hence expanding the availability of sustainable materials on the global scale.


Australian food packaging manufacturer Confoil worked with BASF in June 2022 to create a certified compostable as well as dual ovenable paper-based food tray. The collaboration utilizes BASF's ecovio PS 1606, which is an environmentally friendly coating on the paper tray made from partly bio-based and certified compostable biopolymer. It also allows Confoil Inc. to intensify its presence in North America by providing customers with eco-friendly packaging options while addressing sustainability issues.
