Executive Summary
The introduction of 3D printing has added a new dimension to the manufacturing industry by increasing the efficiency of the manufacturing process. The advancement in the 3D printing industry has provided high growth opportunities for 3D printing services, printers, consulting service providers, and the materials used in the 3D printing process. The investment in the 3D printing market has grown extensively and will continue to grow in the near future, leveraging the advantages of an increasing demand for, and competitive research conducted internationally on, energy-efficient and fast manufacturing processes. The rapid prototyping has specifically increased the demand for various 3D printing plastic materials.

PLA is the most widely used 3D printing plastic filament across the globe.PLA is considered the easiest 3D printing material to work with.

The plastic material requires minimal energy to process and its bio-based nature assures its high utilization in the coming future.It is used in the resin form or in the filament form in the fused deposition modeling (FDM) process.

One of the major driving factors for the global PLA market is that it is bio-based, i.e. made from renewable resources. The depletion of fossil fuel reserves raises concerns regarding climate change and increased carbon footprint. These factors are acting as a major push and pull factor behind the acceptance of bio-based materials such as PLA. Governments have been spending heavily on research and development to find a sustainable, environment-friendly packaging alternative. The use of PLA is predominant in the packaging industry. Some of the most common applications of PLA include plastic films, bottles, and biodegradable medical devices. Apart from all these, it is used in disposable garments, trays, and as fillers in upholstery due to its environment- friendly chemical profile. It is also widely being used in the healthcare industry, majorly in the production of sutures and stents via 3D printing process. The increasing popularity of 3D printing technology is expected to enhance the demand for PLA material which is further anticipated to cater to many other application areas apart from the existing ones.

In terms of value, the global PLA market for 3D printing is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.30% during the forecast period 2018-2028. The high growth of PLA is attributable to its bio-based origin and ease of use coupled with added functionalities over other 3D printing materials. Huge investment by governments and federal agencies to promote bio-based plastic materials is further propeling the growth of PLA material across multiple end-user industries.

Key application area that contribute to the global PLA market include food packaging, healthcare, household items, and automotive, among others.In terms of application type, food packaging is acquiring the largest market size in the current scenario.

The major reason for the adoption of PLA in the packaging industry is due to the increased consumer awareness regarding the need to reduce dependency of fossil fuel reserves. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also approved PLA as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) material which facilitates its usage in beverage and food packaging.

In terms of user type, the industrial segment is expected to witness the fastest growth in the global PLA market for 3D printing as this material not only adds more flexibility to the product but also aids in enhancing the efficiency of the production process.It is used in industries at a large scale, which has led to reduced capital costs.

Additionally, with the incorporation of trends such as Internet of Things in industries that aid digitalization of the manufacturing process, greater adoptability of 3D printing technology can be achieved.

The key players operating in this market have increased their product launch activities over the recent years to generate public awareness about their existing and new products and technologies and to compete with the competitors' product portfolio. Driven by the rapid evolution of the 3D printing technology, there has been a swift growth in the research and development activities by several important players in this market, leading to an increase in the number of business expansions over the last four years.
