• It is anticipated that the polyglycerol market will demonstrate robust growth in the upcoming years, with predictions suggesting it will reach a value of $3.88 billion in 2029, enjoying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%.
This growth within the forecast period can be linked to the rise in biopolymer applications, advancements in the field of green chemistry, the burgeoning cosmeceuticals industry, and an expanding pharmaceutical sector. Noteworthy trends projected for the forecast period include the popularity of bio-based material, innovations in surfactants, the effect of worldwide population growth, an increase in consumer desire for sustainable products, as well as an uptick in partnerships and collaborations.
The polyglycerols market is projected to grow, driven by its increasing utilization in the healthcare sector. The healthcare sector encompasses firms that provide medical services, manufacture medical equipment or pharmaceuticals, offer medical insurance, and deliver patient care. Polyglycerols are commonly used as emulsifiers, dispersants, and penetrants in medications, as well as emulsifiers for ointments, tablets, oral fluids, and injections. This escalating usage of polyglycerols in the healthcare sector is propelling the growth of the polyglycerols market. To illustrate, in March 2022, the Centres for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) - an American federal agency within the United States Department of Health and Human Services, stated in their published National Health Expenditure (NHE) report that the yearly rise in the national health spending was forecasted to average 5.1%, hitting around USD 6.8 trillion by 2030. Hence, the growing usage of polyglycerols in the healthcare industry is boosting the polyglycerols market expansion.
