ASEAN countries rely mainly on U.S. export earnings and Europe, and gradually shift to meet regional consumption. With the growth of regional consumption began to ease the global economic crisis on the impact of ASEAN. The face of declining demand, price volatility, capacity constraints and labor shortages and other unfavorable factors, the ASEAN reliable plastics industry still shows an average annual growth rate of 9%. According to IMF data released, ASEAN 5 growth rate will reach 6.1%. ASEAN 5 of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam composition, similar to the BRIC BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China). In Thailand, the government will vigorously promote the country as well as bio-plastics bio-renewable materials market in Asia have benefited, Frost & Sullivan's new analysis report (Asia Pacific bio-renewable materials market strategic analysis) expects bio-renewable materials market in Asia in 2018 will be more than 19% growth rate. The company said that in 2011, the Asia Pacific market sales of 36.1 million euros, is expected in 2018 will reach 130 million euros. To 2021 the Thai Bioplastics regional center to fight the initiative began in 2006 to promote the program started 15 years development strategy. This is likely to succeed because the world's third largest producer of bioplastics (located in Japan and China after) have the necessary agricultural resources, infrastructure and government platform. Thai national innovation agency (NIA) and the German nova-Institut reports that PLA production capacity in Thailand from 2011 to 182,000 tons / year in 2020 to grow to 721,000 tons / year. PLA production capacity in Asia is expected to grow to 350,000 or more. But most of the production capacity of exports, as domestic demand is still small. In 2012, Thailand's largest plastics manufacturers PTT Chemical Public Company acquired the U.S. company Natureworks (PLA an important manufacturer of the world's production of PLA 85%) 50% stake in Thailand from cassava and sugarcane production Ingeo brand PLA. For other Southeast Asian countries, especially Malaysia and Indonesia, the government's strong support of biological materials and rich agricultural raw materials will also be strong in these countries to promote the production of PLA, and thus to 2020, the region will likely exceed production in North America capability.
