"Governments across the globe have been instrumental in imposing ban on the use of fossil fuel-based products such as plastic bags and are also providing incentives for bio-based PLA production. Moreover, the rising petrochemical prices in association with growing awareness for environment safety have been the prime contributors towards the growth of Polylactic Acid market" state AMR analysts. "The ongoing research on reinforcement of PLA with other materials would bring opportunities for PLA with much improved products in future." adds the analyst.

The report identified two important factors that contribute immensely to the growth of global PLA market, namely abundant raw materials and low production cost. Further, report suggests that the production cost will dip with discoveries of alternate source of raw materials. In terms of market restraints, analysts added, "Need for industrial composting to completely degrade PLA would act as an important restraint."
