Market Growth Factors

The bioresorbable polymers market is driven by the growing demand for advanced medical devices and its application in drug delivery systems, in tissue engineering and as a surgical implant, due to increase in prevalence of chronic diseases across the globe and the increase in adoption of minimally intrusive surgeries (MIS). For instance, Zeus Inc. launched Absorv™ XSE-oriented tubing to fill the gap of permanent metallic stents in September 2023, improving device design and performance while achieving better clinical outcomes.

The market is also driven by technological advances by being able to improve biocompatibility and biodegradability of polymers, and thereby extending their applications into orthopedics and cardiovascular devices. The use of bioresorbable metal implants has been approved by the FDA for Bioretec Ltd in March 2023. Increasing investments in the healthcare industry are also expected to propel the growth of the bioresorbable implants market.

Besides medical applications, the global trend towards more sustainable materials creates a market for bioresorbable polymers as an alternative to conventional plastics in packaging, automotive, and agriculture. An example is Solvay's Naternal family (introduced in June 2023), which for hair and skin care consists of biodegradable polymers, illustrating the expansion of applications and demand and regulatory pressure factors.
