Overview of the market


The Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) market has been delivering exceptional performance in the prevailing business landscape. It is expected that the market would register a CAGR of 10.45% by the year 2030 and it would reach USD 1,989,577.9.


Polyglycolic Acid is a thermoplastic and biodegradable plaster. PGA can be obtained by following two processes including glycolic acid’s polycondensation and glycolide’s ring opening polycondensation. It is commonly used as a surgical suture material because of its robust tensile strength, top-notch knotting capability, hydrolytic stability and tissue reactivity.


The demand of polyglycolic acid is rising due to the expanding application of frac balls and frac plugs in extraction processes involved in the oil and gas industry. PGA-based frac plugs are replacing metal plugs because they give rise to low operating costs. Its application is also increasing in the packaging industry and driving its upwards performance. The rapid urbanization and industrialization is likely to increase the need for energy which could further lead to the rise in polyglycolic acid market demand.
