Polyglycolic Acid Market
REPORT DESCRIPTION
Polyglycolic Acid Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 2023
The study presented here is based on a report by Transparency Market Research (TMR) titled “Polyglycolic
Acid Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 – 2023.”
According to TMR, the opportunity in the polyglycolic acid market, worldwide, was worth US$181.7 mn in 2014
with a production volume of 1,690.0 tons. Expanding at a CAGR of 10.10% between 2015 and 2023, it is likely
to reach US$424.5 mn by the end of the forecast period.
North America led the demand for polyglycolic acid in 2014 with a share of nearly 72%. The region is expected
to continue to lead throughout the forecast period with revenue reaching US$213.4 mn by 2023. Shale gas
extraction is anticipated to remain the key application area of polyglycolic over the forthcoming years.

Polyglycolic Acid Experiences High Demand due to Rising Application of Absorbable Sutures
“The demand for polyglycolic acid has received a strong push from the growing application of absorbable
sutures over the last few years,” says an analyst at TMR. Before its widespread application in packaging and
shale gas extraction, polyglycolic acid was mainly utilized in the production of absorbable sutures. As these
sutures dissolve in the body as the wound heals, they do not need reopening of the body parts for their
removal. This factor has increased the application of these sutures in the treatment of internal wounds, leading
to a significant surge in demand for polyglycolic acid.
High Cost of Polyglycolic Acid Could Limit its Application in Near Future

Polyglycolic Acid Market
On the flip side, the high cost of polyglycolic acid is likely to limit its application considerably over the years to
come. Traditionally, it was utilized in small portions for the production of absorbable sutures; however, shale
gas extraction, packaging, and other application such as agriculture, filters, and civil engineering resins. Being
a costly material, it is facing severe difficulty in its large-scale commercialization, which is creating a hindrance
in its utilization across various application areas.
Apart from this, the dearth of awareness among people regarding the usage of polyglycolic acid is also
expected to hamper its demand in the near future. However, the increasing preference for plastic packaging for
beverages is expected to present growth opportunities for polyglycolic acid producers across the world.
North America to Remain Key Contributor in Revenue Generated by Polyglycolic Acid Globally
With Kureha PGA LLC holding a market share of nearly 84%, the global market for polyglycolic acid
demonstrated a highly concentrated and monopolistic competitive landscape in 2014, reports Transparency
Market Research (TMR) in a recent study. Over the next few years, no significant change is expected in the
current arrangement, owing to which the competition in the market is anticipated to remain low.

Kureha Corp., the only commercial-scale producer of polyglycolic acid utilized in non-medical applications, is
likely to remain the key shareholder of this market between 2015 and 2023. However, other players, such as
Teleflex Inc., EI Du Pont De Nemours & Co., and Huizhou Foryou Medical Devices Co. Ltd. may gain
considerable momentum in medical and biomedical applications, states TMR.
