China Poly lactic acid production capacity will continue to increase

Recently, mechanism of professional market research domestic design information released the latest "China Poly lactic acid Market Research and forecast report", the report focuses on the production of lactic acid and polylactic acid, technical characteristics of important domestic manufacturers and production cost, in addition, also analyses the advantage of five Chinese manufacturers and different points of polylactic acid.

The report points out, lactic acid is an important multifunctional organic acid. Application fields in recent years continues to expand, it need more and more high-quality L- lactic acid. In 2010, China's total output of more than 130000 tons of lactic acid. Most Chinese manufacturers to adopt the fermentative production of lactic acid, rather than chemical synthesis method. However, due to the increase in the prices of raw materials, in 2010 the lactic acid production cost is also rising.

According to the design information of the latest research data shows: in 2011 April, China, the five major manufacturers of raw materials costs are accounted for more than 50% of total production cost, the addition of high purity L- lactic acid, polylactic acid is main raw material for production (PLA).

Due to environmental and biological degradation characteristics, polylactic acid has attracted increasing attention at home and abroad. In recent years, although great progress has been made in poly lactic acid industry, but the industry is still in the initial stage. At present, poly lactic acid in the domestic total capacity of nearly 20000 tons, but the five major manufacturers mostly to expand its production capacity, to achieve million tons, estimated at the end of this year the national production capacity is expected to add 20000 tons of above.

Expected, polylactic acid demand in the Chinese market in the next five years showed a rising trend, and in 2015 will be more than 2000000 tons. Zhejiang Hisun biomaterials Limited by Share Ltd (Zhejiang Hisun) is the second largest PLA manufacturer in China, due to the high quality, the industry enjoys high reputation.

Master information researcher Zhao Zhizhu said: due to policy support, to further restrict the application of traditional plastic, public awareness of environmental protection and other factors enhance the driving, poly lactic acid in China's production and consumption will continue to maintain growth in the next 5 years. If the polylactic acid production technology can be further increased, prices drop further, the growth rate will be faster.
