The bioresorbable polymers market was valued at US$ 3,260.07 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 6,463.07 million by 2028. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2021 to 2028.
The rising demand for bioresorbable polymers for manufacturing medical implants is boosting the bioresorbable polymers market. Polymer materials, such as polylactic acid, polycaprolactone, Polydioxanone, and others, are widely used to manufacture screws, pins, rods, plates scaffolds, sutures, stents, and other bioabsorbable medical implant devices. During the recovery phase, the temporary implants gradually start dissolving and are entirely absorbed in the body after its function is performed. As the body itself absorbs these bioresorbable implants, the patient does not require a second surgical intervention to remove them. Hence, the demand for bioresorbable polymer implants is increasing and, subsequently, driving the bioresorbable polymer market.
The COVID-19 limited the chemicals and materials industry’s operations, hampering many businesses globally. Supply chain disruptions and difficulty in procuring raw materials have restrained the bioresorbable polymers market to some extent. Delays in medical surgeries have been observed during this pandemic over the world. Although elective surgeries resumed in the UK (and many other countries as well) in mid-2020, most hospitals are functioning at a substantially reduced capacity, resulting in an ever-lengthening waitlist. The delay in medical surgeries has decreased the demand for medical and orthopedic devices, affecting the bioresorbable polymers market.
