Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) often referred to as polyglycolide is composed of polymers of glycolide acids. It possesses the simplest chemical structure of aliphatic polyester. PGA is a novel biodegradable resin that exhibits high mechanical strength and high gas-barrier performance. PGA is witnessing widespread application across the industries such as shale gas extraction, packaging, medical, civil engineering, agriculture, and filters due to its excellent biodegradability property owing to its sensitivity to hydrolysis when compared to another synthetic polymer.
Market Dynamics
Polyglycolic acid is witnessing high demand from the medical industry owing to growing application in the absorbable suture and other advanced surgical tools. Rising demand of polyglycolic acid in biomedical applications such as controlled drug delivery, tissue engineering, and others is fueling the market growth. In addition, U.S., Europe, and Japan governments have accepted Polyglycolic acid as a biodegradable plastic. Growing preference of consumers for biodegradable plastic packaging is further supporting the market growth. However, High cost of polyglycolic acid is expected to restrict its usage substantially over the years to come. Also, the lack of awareness regarding the usage of polyglycolic acid within potential customers is projected to hamper its demand in the near future.
