SNS Insider issued separate forecasts for the global polylactic acid (PLA) and advanced IC substrates markets, both using 2025 as the base year and covering 2026-2035. The PLA market was valued at USD 1.66 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 8.47 billion by 2035 at a 17.7% CAGR, driven by sustainable packaging demand, single-use plastic regulations and bioplastics production. The advanced IC substrates market was valued at USD 10.32 billion and is forecast to reach USD 21.65 billion at a 7.69% CAGR, supported by AI accelerators, data-center and high-performance computing investment, electric vehicles and advanced semiconductor packaging. North America led the PLA market, while Asia Pacific led advanced IC substrates and is expected to grow fastest in that market.
