Polyglycolic Acid Market by Form (Fibers, Films, Others), End-use industry (Medical, Oil & Gas, Packaging) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, South America)-Global Forecast to 2024
[117 Pages Report] The polyglycolic acid market size is estimated at USD 4.1 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 6.5 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 9.5%. The polyglycolic acid industry is driven majorly by its huge consumption in the medical industry, along with its increasing demand in the packaging industry.
Fiber form is estimated to lead the overall polyglycolic acid market during the forecast period.
Fiber form leads to the overall polyglycolic acid market. The fibrous form of polyglycolic acid is majorly obtained through ring-opening polymerization of the cyclic dimers of glycolic acid. The current demand for fiber form of polyglycolic acid is majorly supported by its huge consumption in the medical industry in the formation of absorbable surgical sutures. Surgical suture made up of polyglycolic acid is widely used for surgical procedures and therapeutic treatments in the field of ophthalmic, gynecological and obstetric, orthopedic, urological and other departments of the medical industry.
Medical is estimated to be the largest end-use industry of polyglycolic acid.
Medical is the largest end-use industry of polyglycolic acid in 2018. The huge preference and acceptance of polyglycolic acid in the field of transluminal coronary angioplasty, hysterectomy, total mastectomy, and other surgeries under the medical industry is expected to drive the demand for polyglycolic acid during the forecast period. Apart from the medical industry, oil & gas is also a significant consumer of polyglycolic acid, which is the second-largest as well as the fastest-growing end-use industry for polyglycolic acid. The increasing demand for polyglycolic acid in biodegradable frac ball and plug manufacturing is the primary factor driving the market demand.
North America is projected to be the largest polyglycolic acid market.
North America is estimated to be the largest polyglycolic acid market during the forecast period. US, Canada, and Mexico are the major markets for polyglycolic acid in the North America region, with the US being the largest. The presence of significant old age population along with an increase in the number of cardiac, orthopedic and hysterectomy surgeries in the region is expected to drive the demand for polyglycolic acid in North America. The increasing medical tourism in a significant part of the area will further support the polyglycolic acid market growth.
