Market Overview:
The global polymeric microsphere market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for polymeric microspheres from various applications such as displays, coatings, cosmetics, medical devices and 3D printing inks. In addition, the growing demand for lightweight and energy-efficient vehicles is also contributing to the growth of the global polymeric microsphere market. However, volatility in raw material prices may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. On basis of type, PE dominates the global polymeric microsphere market with a share of more than 50%. This can be attributed to its properties such as biocompatibility and non-toxicity which make it suitable for use in medical applications.
Product Definition:
A polymeric microsphere is a spherical particle, typically made from polymer materials, with a diameter of 1-1000 micrometers. Polymeric microspheres are used in various applications including drug delivery, catalysis, and optical sensing.
Polyethylene Microspheres (PE):
Polyethylene microspheres or PE microspheres are spheres made from polyethylene. They have a mean diameter of 5 to 200 nm and a volume range of 0.1 - 10 ml in one gram, 1 cm3, or 1000 liters respectively.
Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) Microspheres (PMMA):
Poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres (PMMA) is a type of polymer, which has a molecular weight range of 200-2,000. It is white in color and has an odor similar to that of acrylic acid. Poly(Methyl methacrylate) microspheres are used as additives in polymeric coating solutions for industrial applications such as paints & coatings, adhesives & sealants and printing inks among others.
Application Insights:
The displays segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 40% in 2017. The demand is expected to be driven by growing use in smartphones, tablets, and monitors. Polymeric microspheres are used as a filler material for displays on electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets owing to their high refractive index which helps create a better picture quality.
Microspheres are also used in applications such as 3D printing ink, films, cosmetics where they act as an attractive additive due to their color and texture variation properties. They can be utilized efficiently when compared with other additives since they offer high refractive index contrast ratio which makes them suitable for additive manufacturing or any other optical application that requires clarity of image quality along with dimensional stability over time.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising product demand from end-use industries such as paints & coatings, medical, 3D printing inks, films and displays. Increasing disposable income coupled with growing consumer awareness regarding health & hygiene drives product adoption across various applications.
The increasing number of foreign direct investments coupled with favorable government policies aimed at promoting manufacturing output is anticipated to drive industry expansion over the forecast period. In addition, improving infrastructure facilities in emerging economies such as China and India are projected to boost industry penetration rates across several application segments including construction; automotive; packaging; electronics among others over the next eight years (2030).
Europe accounted for a significant share owing to high demand from end-use industries along with rising R&D activities by major companies operating within this region focused on developing innovative polymeric microspheres formulations for specific applications needs.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for polymeric microspheres in drug delivery and biotechnology applications
- Rising demand from the medical device industry
- Growing use of polymeric microspheres in cosmetics and personal care products
- Increasing application of polymeric microspheres in water treatment and filtration systems
- Rising demand from the food packaging industry
