Changing Consumer Preference Toward Eco-Friendly Plastic Products

The global PLA market is projected to reach USD 3.3 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 17.1% from USD 1.5 billion in 2023. Rising demand of PLA in packaging industry, government regulations in Europe, increased focus of government on green procurement policies, and shift in consumer preference toward eco-friendly and biodegradable plastic products and growing consumer awareness are expected to offer significant growth opportunities to manufacturers of PLA.

The consumer goods end use industry accounted for the second largest share in the end-use industry segment of PLA market in terms of value

The consumer goods end-use industry holds the second largest share in the PLA market. PLA is a bio-based and biodegradable polymer, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastics. Consumer goods companies increasingly prioritize sustainability and are actively seeking eco-friendly materials for their products. Moreover, PLA possesses excellent processability, enabling its use in a wide range of consumer goods such as packaging, disposable cutlery, textiles, and personal care items. Its versatility, combined with its eco-friendly nature, makes PLA a preferred choice for manufacturers and consumers alike, thus driving its significant presence in the consumer goods segment of the PLA market.

Thermoforming grade accounted for the largest share in the grade segment of PLA market, in terms of value

The demand for thermoforming grade PLA is high in the PLA market due to its characteristics that make it highly suitable for thermoforming processes. Thermoforming involves heating a plastic sheet and shaping it to desired forms. Thermoforming grade PLA excels in heat resistance, dimensional stability, and clarity, making it an excellent choice for packaging, disposable food containers, and consumer products. Its transparent nature allows for attractive product displays, while its ability to retain shape and withstand high temperatures ensures durability. Additionally, the biodegradable and renewable nature of PLA aligns with consumers' preference for eco-friendly packaging solutions, further fueling the demand for thermoforming grade PLA.

Europe is the largest market for PLA

The stringent government regulations and bans on single-use plastics have made Europe the leading market for PLA. The region's emphasis on sustainable practices has prompted significant investments in innovative packaging solutions to cater to consumer preferences. Notably, countries like Germany and the UK, with well-established food and beverage industries, especially in packaged food, are further driving the demand for PLA due to their environmentally conscious rules and regulations. This trend is projected to fuel the growth of the PLA market in the foreseeable future.
