Lactic Acid Market Summary

The global lactic acid market size was estimated at USD 3,454.6 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 6,653.7 million by 2033, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2025 to 2033. The demand for this form is expected to rise over the forecast period, primarily driven by its increasing use across industries such as pharmaceuticals and food & beverages, especially in emerging markets such as India, China, and Indonesia.

Lactic acid serves as a key raw material in producing polylactic acid (PLA), which is widely utilized in the manufacture of biodegradable plastics for industries such as packaging and chemicals. Its role as a natural solvent makes it suitable for metal and mechanical cleaning processes.

This product is majorly used in formation of PLA, which is a biodegradable polymer, compostable thermoplastic made from renewable sources such as fermentation processes. This chemical is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) and has great market potential in food industry being recognized as harmless By U.S. Food & Drug Administration. It can be alternatively produced by chemical synthesis or fermentation. It is considered as one of the well-known organic acids that have wide range of industrial applications. The four main applications of this form are in food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. This form is a lactic bacterium which refer to a large group of beneficial bacteria having probiotic properties. In addition, it plays a crucial role in the preparation of wine making, pickling, sausages, curing fish, meat, vegetables baking, and preparation of fermented dairy forms.
The product is not only a significant ingredient in fermented foods, including canned vegetables, yogurt, and butter, but is also used as a preservative in pickled vegetables and olives. This naturally occurring organic acid is used in a variety of applications, including food & beverages, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, chemicals, and industrial.

This is a large-scale organic acid produced, most used feedstock are carbohydrates obtained from different sources such as sugarcane, corn starch, and others. As compared to mineral variations, organic ones does not completely dissociate in water.
