Challenges in Bioresorbable Polymers Industry

Bioresorbable Polymers or bio-degradable, belongs to a class of dissolvable material, that can be easily absorbed by the body. The bioresorption of these polymers occur hydrolytically or enzymatically. These possess excellent physical properties such as flexibility, strength, and higher degradation rates which make them suitable for various end use application such as orthopedic, drug delivery, and others.

The global bioresorbable polymers market is projected to reach USD 1,643,006.3 thousand by 2023 at a CAGR of 13.60% during the forecast period. Among the type segment, polylactic acid (PLA) & derivatives accounted for the largest market share of USD 222,350.7 Thousand and is likely to expand with a significant CAGR of 13.92% over the assessment period owing to high adoption rate in the various end-use application. Polylactic acid (PLA) & derivatives is followed by polyglycolic acid owing to their flexibility and durability.

On the basis of the application, orthopedic application segment accounted for the largest market share USD 389,537.4 Thousand in 2017 and is expected to retain its dominance during the estimated period. Moreover, the increased focus on physical fitness among people to enhance the living standard and the trend of tracking health progress are together estimated to drive the demand for bioresorbable polymers in biomedical application. Growing number of patients suffering from orthopedic issues, create the requirement of quality devices and treatments, which again attract the attention of market players to grab maximum share of the market of bioresorbable polymers.

 On account of technological sophistication, bioresorbable polymers cost more than conventional medical polymers, which prove as a major restraint for the market in the developing regions. North America has dominated as the dominant region in the global Bioresorbable Polymers market and holds the maximum market share, in terms of both volume and value. In the North American region, the U.S. has emerged as the largest market for bioresorbable polymers in 2017 and is expected to grow significantly in the region due to strong demand from the biomedical industry and continuous growth of the numerous end-use industries.

Regional Analysis 


Geographically, the global bioresorbable polymers market is segmented into five regions namely North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa. North America emerged as the leading market in bioresorbable polymers and accounted for a value of USD 275,176.0 in 2017. The region is estimated to expand with a significant CAGR of 13.57% in the near future on account of growing consumption in orthopedic and drug delivery application segment. In North America, U.S. was the leading country and hold for around USD 214,663.8 thousand in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 460,986.5 thousand by the end of 2023. Factors attributed to the growth are increasing geriatric population, technological advancement, and rising expenditure on healthcare devices.
