Market Trends of PMMA Microspheres Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the PMMA Microspheres Market according to our research experts:
Life Sciences & Medical To Dominate the Market
- Owing to increased usage of the product as a filler in bone cement, bulking agent for tissues, etc., the life sciences & medical industry is contributing the highest share in the PMMA microsphere market.
- The biocompatibility of PMMA microspheres is good, which allows the particles to be used in the life sciences & medical industry.
- Medical grade PMMA microspheres have smooth, round, and microscopic structures, which are not readily absorbed by the body. As the particles are injected, they start a natural bio-process to initiate the body response, where each PMMA microparticle is surrounded with new collagenous tissue growth.
- These microspheres are also used as bulking agents. They provide a scaffold for the deposition of patient’s own collagen, within six months after injection.
- Hyaluronic acid (HA) is used to ensure that the microspheres are delivered to the disc and to prevent the microspheres form coagulating during the tissue growth.
- The non-degradable PMMA microspheres help in the production of new collagen, while injected HA is absorbed over time.The repair and restoration of long-lasting structural integrity of spinal disc defect is obtained through PMMA microspheres, in order to help in the natural production of human collagen.
- Artificial bone cement based on PMMA microspheres is also widely used in orthopedics, owing to its great mechanical properties.
- The advancements in bio-medical science technology are expected to provide good growth opportunities for the global PMMA microsphere market.
