Methodology

Free Analysis

Lactic acid is an organic chemical compound that is white in color in its solid state and soluble in water. Lactic acid in its liquid state is completely colorless. It can be produced both naturally and synthetically and is classified as an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) and plays a crucial role in several biochemical processes. Lactic acid is generally found in hydroxyl-carboxylic acid. Lactic acid is widely utilized in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Lactic acid is also used as a monomer for the production of polylactic acid, which is bio-degradable in nature.

The global lactic acid market is likely to be driven by growing product usage in the end-user industries, such as food, chemical, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, in the years ahead. The high product demand in the food industry as a preservative and antimicrobial agent is the primary growth driver anticipated to stimulate the growth of the lactic acid market globally. Lactic acid prevents the growth of bacteria and other micro-organisms and helps in increasing the shelf life of food items. The increasing manufacturing of lactate ester is likely to positively impact the global lactic acid market in the future. Furthermore, the manufacturers and producers are spending heavily on the R&D to devise cost-effective and efficient production processes of lactic acid. However, the price volatility of raw materials might hamper this global market’s growth over the forecast time period.

The global lactic acid is segmented on the basis of source and end-user. By source, the lactic acid market is bifurcated into natural and synthetic. On the basis of end-user, this global market is categorized into personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, chemical, and food and beverage.

By region, North America held an extensive revenue share in the global lactic acid market in 2018 and is expected to dominate in the upcoming years. The growth of this regional market can be attributed to the rising demand for polylactic acid in the chemical industry. Lactic acid is utilized as a monomer for the production of polylactic acid, which is anticipated to further boost this regional market in the future. Europe is projected to provide significant opportunities in the global lactic acid market over the estimated timeframe, owing to the increasing sales of pharmaceutical medicines due to the rising health consciousness of the regional population. Moreover, the functional properties of lactic acid and favorable government policies regarding the production of lactic acid are likely to positively impact the European lactic acid market over the forecast time period.

Some key industry players of the global lactic acid market include BASF SE, CSM N.V., The Dow Chemical Company, Teijin Ltd., NatureWorks LLC, Corbion Purac, Jungbunzlauer AG, Musashino Chemical Laboratory, Ltd., Galactic S.A., and Henan Jindan Lactic Acid Co., Ltd., among others.
