Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Polyglycolic Acid market size was valued at US$ 134 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1090 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 35.4% during review period.

Polyglycolide or poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), also spelled as polyglycolic acid is a biodegradable, semi-crystalline thermoplastic. It is also the simplest linear, aliphatic polyester. PGA resins are known for their excellent gas barrier properties, relative high strength, and excellent biodegradability. Some grades have a biodegradation rate similar to cellulose and decompose under composting conditions into CO2 and water within one month. PGA and its copolymers such as poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), and poly(glycolide-co-caprolactone) are used in a number of applications. Due to PGA's very low permeability to O2 and CO2, it can be used as a packaging film for oxygen sensitive products, for example as an interlayer between two polyester films. Other important applications include shale gas extraction and other industrial processes as well as synthetic fast absorbable sutures for internal surgeries.

Global core polyglycolic acid manufacturers include Kureha and Shanghai Pujing Chemical. North America is the largest market, with a share over 45%, followed by China and Europe with the share about 23% and 11%. In terms of product type, industrial grade is the largest segment, with a share over 50%. And in terms of application, the largest application is oil and gas industry, followed by medical industry.

With the commissioning of many large-scale industrial-grade projects in China, such as Sinopec Guizhou Energy Chemical, Sinopec Hubei Fertilizer, Guoneng Mengxi Coal Chemical, Inner Mongolia Jiutai, Inner Mongolia Rongxin Chemical, Anhui Haoyuan Chemical, etc., the global share of industrial-grade PGA will become very high. At the same time, the product application areas will undergo tremendous changes.
