Impact of COVID -19 On the Lactic Acid and Polylactic Acid Market

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the growth and dynamics of various industries. With no access to vaccines, consumers are becoming concerned about the immunity, social distancing, and contactless activities for safeguarding themselves from exposure to the current pandemic. This, to a large extent, has influenced the choice of products among consumers for packaged products that are sought to provide protective benefits. Due to the restrictions on public movement across regions, the bulk purchase of food products and their stockpiling have become inevitable.

The pandemic has led to a positive impact on the growth of the packaging industry. However, it has resulted in high demand for plastic packaging. Food manufacturers who had initially opted for other types of the packaging had initiated the use of plastic packaging, as it is economical, safe, and enduring. Food & beverage packaging has witnessed a high demand during the pandemic, as consumers have been more inclined toward packaged food products due to factors such as maintaining safety and hygiene.

Due to the increase in sustainability in the food industry for maintaining product quality, the use of biopolymer packaging materials has been an attractive and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic polymers attributed to the availability, low cost, and renewable raw materials, and agro-industrial waste usage.
