Resorbable Polymers Industry Segmentation

Resorbable polymers can be defined as polymers that undergo the degradation or dissolution of their constituent molecules in the body. Degraded or dissolved molecules are finally entirely resorbed by the body. The market segmentation includes material (polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polycaprolactone, and PGA/PLA copolymers) and application (drug delivery (oral and parenteral) and orthopedics (trauma, spine, sports medicine, combined magnetic field (CMF), knee, and hip). The report also covers the market size and forecast for the resorbable polymers market in 11 countries across major regions. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done based on revenue (USD million).

Resorbable Polymers Market Size Summary

The resorbable polymers market is experiencing significant growth, driven primarily by increasing demand from the medical industry. These polymers are gaining traction due to their biocompatible and non-toxic properties, making them ideal for use in medical implants such as those used in orthopedic applications. The ability of resorbable polymers to aid in tissue regeneration and their suitability for 3D printing applications further enhance their appeal in the medical sector. The Asia-Pacific region is leading the market, with countries like China and India at the forefront of consumption, largely due to the region's expanding medical tourism and healthcare infrastructure.

The market is characterized by its fragmented nature, with key players including Ashland, CORBION, KLS Martin Group, Evonik Industries AG, and Foster Corporation. The acquisition of LACTEL Absorbable Polymers by Evonik Industries AG from DURECT Corporation highlights the ongoing strategic movements within the industry. The Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to be the fastest-growing market, supported by the region's cost-effective medical services and evolving healthcare policies. This growth trajectory is expected to continue as the demand for resorbable polymers in medical applications expands.
