Introduction
Polylactic acid (PLA) also sometimes referred to as Polylactide is a biodegradable polymer, biocompatible thermoplastic, and aliphatic polyester. Recently, it is the most popular material having huge growth potential. PLA is also considered as the ecofriendly polymer due to its compostable nature and ability to be recycled. The product exhibits a high elastic modulus and a high level of transparency. As per NCBI, Polylactic acid is one of the most traded polymers globally.
Market Growth Dynamics
With massive use of Polylactic acid in rigid containers for storing water, yogurt, and juice, the market for Polylactic acid (PLA) is projected to gain traction in the years to come. Apart from this, developed countries in Europe and North America & Japan make use of PLA-based packaging. According to NIH researchers, the polymer is one of the cost-effective bio-based product as well as bio-degradable substitute for petrochemical plastics.
Furthermore, Polylactic acid is most widely used biodegradable polymer across myriad sectors in the recent times. For instance, it finds plethora of applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, temporary & long-term implantable devices, and other new rapidly emerging domains. It can be easily synthesized and can be customized for its use for varied therapeutic requirements.
