Lactic acid (C₃H₆O₃) is a well-known organic acid normally present in muscle tissue as a byproduct of anaerobic respiration. Lactic acid plays an important role in the preparation of fermented dairy and wine products, the curing of meat, fish, and sausages, and the pickling of vegetables. It also has several probiotic properties, due to which it finds extensive applications across various industrial verticals. For instance, lactic acid is adopted in the cosmetics industry to manufacture moisturizing lotions and creams as it helps improve skin luminosity and moisture, eliminate dead skin cells, and rejuvenate skin texture. In addition to this, the product can be processed using a sugar fermentation process that is obtained from renewable sources, thus making the product eco-friendly.

The growing demand for lactic acid as a feedstock represents one of the primary factors driving the market growth across the globe. In line with this, the surging product demand across various end use industries, such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage (F&B), and industrial, is providing a significant boost to the market growth. Apart from this, the rising use of lactic acid to produce biodegradable polymers, such as polyactic acid (PLA) that are used as food packaging materials, are supporting the market growth. PLA offers several advantages, including resistance to oil and grease, better aesthetic appeal, excellent printability, and preventing the degradation of food quality. Moreover, the increasing demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) food products and the rapid expansion of the food and beverage (F&B) industry are some of the factors accelerating the global market growth. Besides this, key market players are heavily investing in research and development (R&D) activities and advanced technology, which is further bolstering the market growth. Other factors, including the rising utilization of lactic acid as a preservative and acidulant in fermented foods, increasing commercial usage of the compound in skin care products, such as anti-aging products, chemical peels, and skin hydrating agents, and the implementation of favorable government policies, are boosting the market growth.
