Polylactic Acid Prices: Key Price Charts 2025 & Forecast

APAC Polylactic Acid Prices Movement Q4:

Polylactic Acid Prices in Thailand:

The Polylactic Acid Price Trend in Thailand declined in Q4 2024, and prices fell to 2,500 USD/MT by December. This trend was influenced by rising supply and deteriorating demand. At the beginning of the quarter, constant demand from the sustainable packaging market and consistent levels of production maintained price stability. However declining lactic acid prices lowered the cost of production, and polylactic acid became cheaper. In addition, apprehensions regarding China's economic downturn also weakened regional demand. Despite this, technology helped to steady market conditions so that the price fall in the polylactic acid market was not as sharp.

The German Polylactic Acid Price Trend for Q4 2024 was mixed, as prices were firm at the beginning of the quarter before falling continuously to 2,390 USD/MT during December.

Further, shipment slowdowns and holiday disruption contributed uncertainty to in the market. Even considering those, the Polylactic Acid Price Forecast indicates resilience with policy measures poised to shape future directions.

Furthermore, increasing consumer demand for green packaging, regulatory support for biodegradable plastics, and improvements in biopolymer manufacturing technology fuel demand. Seasonal variations, supply chain interruptions, and competitive pressure from oil-based plastics also add to price volatility. Regional economic conditions, trade policies, and local environment protection regulations further influence the Polylactic Acid market, creating dynamic price trends and industry-specific factors.
