Polymer Microspheres Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Polymer Microspheres Market according to our research experts:

Increasing Demand from the Life Science and Pharmaceutical Industry

  • Polymeric microspheresare used to a significant extent in many biomedical and biotechnology research applications.
    • These microspheres are sized 10 microns to 1,000 microns and generally composed of polystyrene (PS) or polyethylene (PE).These microspheres can also be ligand coupled to proteins, peptides, antibodies, DNA or RNA on the demand of the intended application.
    • Injection of microspheres, as a bulking agent, which are covered with collagen and growth factors, to induce tissue regeneration and formation, while improving the efficiency of the therapy and diminishing the risk of particle migration
  • The polymer microspheres used in the pharmaceutical industry are polymeric particles, which have sizes ranging from 5-150 microns, carrying the APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) in the patient’s body for continuous release over time.
  • Synthetic polymeric microspheres are widely used in clinical applications as bulking agents, fillers, embolic particles, and drug delivery vehicles; they have proved to be safe and biocompatible.
  • All the aforementioned factorsare expected to drive the Polymeric microspheresmarket, during the forecast period.
Polymer Microspheres Market Trends

North American Region to Dominate the Market

  • The United States dominated the North America market with a share of more than 65%.
