Middle East and Africa Polylactic Acid (PLA) Market Outlook

The Middle East and Africa polylactic acid (PLA) market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.3% between 2024 and 2032.

Key Takeaways

  • Polylactic Acid (PLA) is 100% bio-sourced and biodegradable renewable plastic.
  • South Africa is the continent’s largest corn producer, with corn representing 90% of South Africa’s total grain production.

According to the Middle East and Africa polylactic acid (PLA) market analysis, PLA and its composites are deployed in medical implants, orthopedic devices, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering. The advancing healthcare sector in the Middle East presents an opportunity for the market. PLA is widely deployed clinically as a biomedical scaffold for implants and in drug delivery systems. When used in biomedical applications, PLA degrades into a non-toxic acid.

As per the Middle East and Africa polylactic acid (PLA) market report, in South Africa, cassava is being transformed into a lucrative industrial crop by processing it into products such as starch, flour, and glucose. Cassava contains 70% starch by dry weight and is rich in carbohydrates, which can be industrially fermented to produce polylactic acid.

According to the UAE’s Ministry of Environment and Water, around 11 billion plastic bags are used annually in the country. As the government focuses on reducing environmental pollution in the country, the demand for bioplastics is expected to increase. This is because traditional plastic bags are not degradable and once discarded into the environment cause pollution, threatening aquatic life. The production of PLA is also less carbon-intensive as compared to fossil-based plastics as it is less energy intensive and produces lower greenhouse gas.
