Lactic Acid Market to Reach $10.64 Billion by 2032

Lactic Acid Market Size, Share, Forecast, & Trends Analysis by Source (Sugarcane, Corn, Cassava, Yeast Extract), Form (Liquid, Dry), Application (Polylactic Acid, Food & Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care, Industrial) - Global Forecast to 2032

Meticulous Research^®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled "Lactic Acid Market—Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast (2025-2032).’ According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research^®, the lactic acid market is expected to reach $10.64 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 13.6% from 2025 to 2032.

The growing personal care industry, increasing adoption of lactic acid in the food & beverage sector, and rising government support for eco-friendly products are driving the growth of the lactic acid market. However, fluctuating raw material prices and the availability of cheaper synthetic alternatives are restraining market growth.

Additionally, the increasing demand for sustainably sourced and environmentally friendly products, along with emerging economies in Asia-Pacific and Latin America, is creating significant opportunities for market players. However, the high cost of production is a significant challenge affecting the market’s growth.

The rising adoption of clean-label products and sustainably sourced ingredients is a prominent trend in the lactic acid market.

Key Players:

The lactic acid market is characterized by a moderately competitive scenario due to the presence of many large- and small-sized global, regional, and local players. The key players operating in the lactic acid market are Corbion NV (Netherlands), BASF SE (Germany), Galactic (Belgium), Cargill, Incorporated (U.S.), Musashino Chemical Laboratory, Ltd. (Japan), CELLULAC (U.K.), Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG (Switzerland), Henan Jindan lactic acid Technology Co., Ltd. (China), Foodchem International Corporation (China), Godavari Bio-refineries (India), Sulzer Ltd (Switzerland), Spectrum Chemical Mfg. Corp. (U.S.), ProAgro GmbH (Austria), and Vaishnavi Biotech (India), among others.

The lactic acid market is segmented based on source, form, and application. The report also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the regional and country levels.

By source, in 2025, the sugarcane segment is expected to account for the largest share of the lactic acid market. This segment's large market share is primarily due to the abundant availability of sugarcane biomass for lactic acid production. Major producers, such as Brazil and India, contribute significantly to global sugar production. The diverse byproducts of sugarcane, including molasses and bagasse, support the production of high-purity lactic acid while providing economic benefits through lower raw material costs. Additionally, sugarcane molasses and juices are often more cost-effective than synthetic or non-renewable sources.

By form, in 2025, the liquid segment is expected to account for the larger share of the lactic acid market. This segment’s large market share is attributed to the growing demand for and preference for liquid lactic acid across industries such as food & beverage, personal care, and pharmaceuticals. Its high solubility makes it easy to incorporate into various formulations, while the wide range of liquid products offered by different manufacturers further enhances its market appeal.

By application, in 2025, the polylactic acid segment is expected to account for the largest share of the lactic acid market. This segment’s large market share is attributed to the growing awareness of biodegradable plastics, the increasing adoption of PLA as an alternative to petroleum-based plastics, and rising government regulations targeting non-biodegradable materials. Additionally, the growing use of PLA in various applications across industries such as automotive, medical & healthcare, textiles & fibers, and consumer goods further contributes to the segment’s growth.

Geographic Review:

This research report analyzes major geographies and provides a comprehensive analysis of North America (U.S., Canada), Europe (Germany, France, U.K., Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Rest of Latin America), and the Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia, South Africa, UAE, Rest of Middle East & Africa).

By geography, in 2025, North America is expected to account for the largest share of the lactic acid market, followed by Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America’s major market share can be attributed to several factors, including the growing demand for lactic acid in pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and food & beverages, as well as increasing government initiatives to reduce carbon footprints and the rising demand for biodegradable packaging materials. North America is also home to many major pharmaceutical and personal care product manufacturers, such as Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, and Pfizer Inc., all of which are significant consumers of lactic acid, further driving the region's market growth.
