PLGA Market Size Worth USD 633.97 Million by 2034 | CAGR: 16.4%


The PLGA market size is expected to reach USD 633.97 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “PLGA Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: Information By Grade (Extrusion, Injection Molding, and Others), Composition, Type, Application, End Use, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The PLGA market has witnessed substantial growth in recent years due to its wide applications and favorable properties. PLGA is a biodegradable and biocompatible copolymer derived from lactic acid and glycolic acid, with applications in medical and pharmaceutical industries. The key driving factor of this market is the increasing demand for bioresorbable polymers in drug delivery systems. PLGA’s ability to encapsulate a variety of drugs and release them in a controlled manner makes it highly valuable for developing sustained and targeted drug delivery systems, thereby improving therapeutic results among patients.

The rising adoption of PLGA in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, along with the growing prevalence of chronic diseases and the need for advanced medical treatments, have increased research and development activities, further boosting the demand for PLGA. Moreover, PLGA's biodegradability makes it a suitable alternative to conventional non-degradable plastics, aligning with global efforts to reduce plastic waste and environmental impact. This has led to its increased usage in various industries, including packaging and agriculture.
