Lactic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid, present at solid-state at atmospheric pressure. It is one of the large-scale chemical manufactured by fermentation. The commonly used feedstocks for lactic acid production are carbohydrates obtained from different sources like corn starch, sugarcane, or tapioca starch. The major part of lactic acid is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of many organic chemical manufacturing industries and various biochemical industries. It is used as a food preservative, curing agent, flavouring agent. Lactic acid is a key ingredient in processed foods and as a decontaminant during meat processing.
Market Dynamics
Rising demand from end-use industries is stimulating market growth. Demand for lactic acid is high in the food, material, pharmaceutical, and chemical feedstock industries where it is utilized for the synthesis of lactate esters, propylene glycol, 2,3-pentanedione, and propanoic acid. Current trends toward environmental sustainability and the use of renewable resources such as biomass are anticipated to bring lucrative opportunity for the market. Lactic acid for the production of biodegradable and biocompatible PLA polymers, solvents, and oxygenated chemicals is an area of potential growth. There is a growing demand for green derivatives to replace conventional plastic materials. An extensive number of patents have been filed in recent years. Meanwhile, the use of PLA is still limited due to high production costs, which is hampering the growth of the market.
