DRIVING FACTORS
Increasing Demand for Sustainable
Energy Systems to Augment Polylactic Acid Market Growth
Polylactic
acid (PLA) provides several eco-friendly advantages such as reduced reliance on
fossil resources, significant decrease in carbon footprint, and others compared
to other carbon-based products. For instance, about 0.5 kg CO2 eq/kg
is the global warming potential (GWP) of PLA that is much less than other
fossil-based copolymers such as PET, PS, PE, and PP. Therefore, the growing
focus on reducing the carbon emissions is expected to propel the product’s
demand in the forthcoming years. Moreover, the rising e-commerce platforms such
as Amazon, Flipkart, ebay, and Alibaba that has witnessed surge in online sales
is expected to boost the global polylactic market growth in the forthcoming
years.
