Analysts’ Viewpoint:

The ongoing COVID-19 crisis is boosting the lactic acid ester market with the help of mergers and acquisitions. The low toxicity of ethyl lactate is being preferred in hair and skin care products that are intended to improve the overall look and feel of the skin. Rigorous quality standards and pressure to curb the use of fossil-based solutions have intensified competition in the microelectronics industry. said Amy, Senior analyst, Chemical & Material Market Research Center in WK-chem Research. Manufacturers should overcome this by developing superior grade ethyl lactate solvents that ensure consistency and traceability throughout production in the microelectronics industry. In order to build credibility, manufacturers should present their clean room sample processing and analytics backed by dedicated technical and quality assurance support.

Market insight：

Lactic acid ester is one of the major bio solvents. It is manufactured using lactic acid. The lactic acid is manufactured from natural raw materials such as sugar, beet, sugar cane, and maize. The lactic acid is then converted into ester through esterification process. Factors such as increased demand for lactate esters from electronics industry, and increased awareness regarding bio solvents propel the growth of the market globally. The popularity of lactic acid ester has increased in developed regions such as North America and Europe because of which it is expected to replace other traditional solvents in majority of the industries. However, the presence of alternatives i.e., petrochemicals solvents is one of the major restraints for the market globally. In addition, the price competition from petrochemical solvents is one of the factors hindering the lactic acid ester market growth.
