Description

Report Overview

Lactic acid (CAS 50-21-5) is an organic compound classified as an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), produced naturally through fermentation by bacteria such as Lactobacillus or synthetically via chemical processes. It exists in two enantiomeric forms, L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid, with the L-form being biologically active and widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Functionally, lactic acid serves as a preservative, pH regulator, flavor enhancer, and exfoliating agent, with applications spanning biodegradable plastics (polylactic acid or PLA), food and beverage (e.g., dairy, meat, and sourdough), personal care (skincare formulations), and industrial uses. Its demand is driven by the growing preference for natural ingredients, sustainable packaging solutions, and expanding end-use sectors, particularly in bioplastics and clean-label food products. Market dynamics are influenced by raw material availability (e.g., sugarcane, corn starch), fermentation technology advancements, and regulatory frameworks promoting eco-friendly alternatives.

The global Lactic Acid (CAS 50-21-5) market size was estimated at USD 1056.62 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.03% during the forecast period.
