Market Size, Share, and Growth of Expandable Microspheres

Small spherical particles are known as microspheres or microparticles. These particles' sizes range from 1 to 1000 micrometers. Free-flowing powders comprised of proteins or biodegradable synthetic polymers are referred to as microspheres. They have improved processing, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. There are several different microspheres, including bioadhesive (adhesives), magnetic, PMMA, radioactive, floating, polymeric, synthetic polymer, and synthetic polymer microspheres (synthetic materials).

 

In 2021, the market for microspheres was worth USD 6.73 billion, and it will reach USD 13.58 billion, growing at a 9.2% CAGR during the forecast period. 

 

The demand for microspheres is driven by factors including the rising use of microspheres in construction composites, advancements in medical technology, an increase in implant procedures, and enhanced patient compliance and convenience.
