Physicians can eliminate the need for complicated surgeries due to their biodegradable nature. Constant manufacturing innovations are leading to the integration of polymerization of bio-based raw materials through engineered industrial processes, fuelling the growth of the global Bioresorbable Polymers market.

Bioresorbable Polymers, such as polysaccharides, proteins, polylactic acid (PLA), and polycaprolactone, are manufactured from vegetable oils derived from rapeseed or sunflower corn fiber. Additionally, raw materials such as castor, soybean, heat by-products, food processed waste, potato, corn, paper mill sludge, and livestock waste can also be used for manufacturing Bioresorbable Polymers, fuelling the growth of the Bioresorbable Polymers market. These raw materials are available abundantly at an effectively low cost. Rising demand from the healthcare sector is pushing the growth of the global Bioresorbable Polymers market. The improving healthcare sector among developing economies is increasing life expectancies among the general population, giving rise to the senior population. This will augment the growth of the Bioresorbable Polymers market to grow at a rapid pace.

The synovial fluid within the orthopedic joints usually dries due to aging, increasing the frequency of elective orthopedic surgeries. This is creating the pathway for the global industry to flourish. An abundant supply of PLA acid across the US, combined with the increasing application within the healthcare sector, is pushing the market's growth at a rapid pace. The utilization of Bioresorbable Polymers materials is expected to widen into spinal interbody fusion, in which α-polyesters will be the most promising group to develop. Rising collaborations between hospitals and medical groups are being established to cater to the armed forces' demand. This will increase the footprint of the global Bioresorbable Polymers market during the forecast period.

Economic Insights

The world bank has predicted that a recession will occur in many nations in 2023 due to the central banks' increased interest rates. The GDP growth rate in 2023 is predicted to be 1.7%, which would be the slowest rate of the recession since 1993. The downturn is expected to be noticeable in advanced/developed economies like the United States. A crisis has resulted from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but it is worse in European nations. Several nations in Asia and the European region depend heavily on Russian and Ukrainian oil and gas exports. As a result, the energy crisis intensified. The manufacturing sector had the most significant effects of the conflict as the price of raw materials increased.

Market Segmentation

The global Bioresorbable Polymers market can be categorized on the following: Type, Application, and Regions. Based on type, the market can be categorized into polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PLLA), poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), polycaprolatone (PCL), and others. By application, the market can be segmented across orthopedic devices, drug delivery, and others. By Likewise, based on region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.

Based on Type

Polylactic Acid to Dominate Market Owing to Stiffness & Biocompatibility

The global Bioresorbable Polymers market is expected to be dominated by the polylactic acid segment in terms of revenue and share during the forecast period. Polylactic acid has many advantages, such as stiffness, biocompatibility, and relatively high strength. Additionally, it features a higher modulus making it highly suitable in the manufacturing process of fixation devices, such as arrows, washers, pins, and screws used in orthopedic surgeries. PLA acid can also be converted into lactic acid naturally at lower concentrations and can be safely removed by the body's excretion system. Its degradable nature allows for a safe and dissolvable elimination process. This will add value to the segmental growth of PLA acid. Polyglycolic acid will grow with the fastest-growing CAGR during the forecast period owing to rapid degradation compared to other biopolymers.
