Bioresorbable Polymers Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product (PolylacticAcid (PLA), Polyglycolic Acid(PGA), Polucaprolactone, Polysaccharides, Proteins, Others), By Application (Drug Delivery, Orthopedics, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Bioresorbable polymers are materials that can safely be absorbed by the human body and which does not involve mechanical removal. This special class of polymers are broken down by bacteria by decomposition after it serves its purpose leaving behind by-products like biomass, water, gases and inorganic salts. These materials are generally hydrophilic in nature. It is used widely in bio-medical applications like drug-delivery, tissue engineering, orthopaedics, nanomedicines and others.

Due to the rise in disposable income and increasing consciousness in patients attributed to the complete bio-degradability of these polymers in human body is boosting the market. Additionally, technological advancement, enhanced treatment procedures for treatment and government investments of economies for the betterment of the heath sectors is expected to drive the market potentially.

However, comparitively higher cost attributed to the technological advancement of bioresorbable polymers than the conventional polymers is likely to hamper the market growth.
