The North America Polylactic Acid Market would witness market growth of 20.6% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030). In the year 2019, the North America market's volume surged to 51,920.3 Tonnes, showcasing a growth of 17.9% (2019-2022).
Polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable and renewable biopolymer, has quickly become a key participant in the materials business. Concerns over environmental sustainability and the depletion of fossil fuels have led to a notable increase in PLA's use and adoption in recent years. The preference for polylactic acid among consumers and industry can be due to its eco-friendliness and versatility, leading to its adoption. PLA is made from renewable resources like sugarcane or corn starch, providing a sustainable substitute for conventional polymers made from petroleum. The biodegradability of PLA further enhances its appeal, as it reduces the burden of non-recyclable plastic waste in landfills and oceans. As awareness of environmental issues rises, PLA is increasingly seen as a responsible choice for reducing plastic pollution.
Additionally, one of the key drivers of PLA adoption is the push for sustainable and eco-friendly products. Both consumers and regulatory bodies increasingly demand products and packaging with a reduced carbon footprint. PLA fits the bill by being a carbon-neutral material, as it absorbs CO2 during its production from renewable sources. Its ability to break down naturally ensures that products made from PLA have a limited environmental impact, especially when compared to traditional plastics.
The agriculture and agri-food sector significantly contribute to the Canadian economy. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's mandate includes providing support to primary agriculture, which encompasses farmers, as well as the food and beverage processing industry. Still, the sector reaches into the broader agri-food system, influencing other sectors across the food supply chain. As per the data provided by the Government of Canada, in 2022, the whole agriculture and agri-food system generated $143.8 billion (around 7.0%) of Canada's gross domestic product (GDP). In 2022, the farm market receipts were at a record high of $87.7 billion. Therefore, the rising agriculture sector in North America will boost the demand for polylactic acid in the region.
