Global Polyvinyl Alcohol in Medical Market 2026 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2032
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Polyvinyl Alcohol in Medical market size was valued at US$ 126 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 175 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.9% during review period.
Polyvinyl Alcohol in Medical refers to a synthetic, water-soluble polymer widely used in the pharmaceutical and medical fields due to its biocompatibility, film-forming ability, adhesion, emulsifying, and non-toxic properties. In medicine, PVA is primarily applied as an excipient in drug formulations, coating agent for tablets, binder, emulsifier, stabilizer in suspensions, and component in eye drops and contact lenses. It is valued for its safety, stability, and versatility in controlled drug delivery systems and biomedical materials.
In 2024, global Polyvinyl Alcohol in Medical sales reached approximately 11.5 kilotons, with an average global market price of around US$ 10,240 per ton.
Primary demand drivers
Biomedical hydrogels & tissue engineering — PVA’s ability to form tunable hydrogels (freeze–thaw physical gels, chemical crosslinking, interpenetrating networks) makes it attractive for wound dressings, cartilage/soft tissue scaffolds and injectable matrices. Research activity and early commercial products are expanding.
Ophthalmic & ocular products — PVA’s biocompatibility, high water retention and film-forming properties support uses in artificial tears, ophthalmic gels and specialty ocular patches.
Pharmaceutical excipient needs — tablet coatings, film formers, wet-granulation binders and oral soluble films use high-purity PVA grades (medical/pharma grade) that meet regulatory purity standards.
Regulatory/quality demand — drug and device manufacturers require traceable, low-impurity, pharmacopeial-compatible materials; this raises the value of certified medical-grade grades.
