Market Overview

The microspheres market is expected to register a CAGR of over 9% during the forecast period (2022-2027).

The COVID-19 outbreak had a minor negative impact on the market in 2020. However, the market is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period.

  • The major factors driving the market include growing applications and advancements in the medical industry and increasing demand from the cosmetics industry.
  • High production costs and huge R&D investments are expected to significantly hinder the market's growth during the forecast period.
  • Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the overall market during the forecast period.
  • The increasing applications of microspheres in cancer treatment drugs are likely to act as an opportunity over the forecast period.

Scope of the Report

Microspheres are microparticles ranging from 1 to 1,000 microns in diameter. They have chemical resistance, heat resistance, enhanced processing, and thermal stability. The microspheres market is segmented by raw material, type, application, and geography. By raw material, the market is segmented into glass, polymer, ceramic, fly ash, metallic, and other raw materials. By type, the market is segmented into hollow and solid. By application, the market is segmented into automotive, cosmetics, paints and coatings, medical technology, composites, and other applications (life science industry, aerospace, and oil and gas). The report also covers the market size and forecast for the microspheres market in major countries across various regions. For each segment, the market sizing and forecast have been done based on revenue (USD million).

Key Market Trends

Medical Application to Dominate the Market

  • Due to their such as chemical resistance, heat resistance, enhanced processing, thermal stability, size, and the ability to deliver active materials, microspheres are widely used in the medical industry.
  • They are used as tracers and particles in medical devices made from glass, polymers, and ceramics.
  • Additionally, they are used in testing and developing medical devices. They are available in various colors, accompanied by controlled opacity, particle size distribution, fluorescence, electrostatic charge, and specific gravity period.
  • Moreover, the usage of microspheres (majorly polymer microspheres) as a drug delivery system is gaining huge momentum due to their ability to encapsulate various drugs and their biocompatibility and high bioavailability.
  • With continuous development in microspheres, the medical application is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period.

China to Dominate the Asia-Pacific Market

  • China has the highest demand for microspheres in the Asia-Pacific region, which is expected to increase during the forecast period.
  • The Chinese government is developing policies to support and encourage domestic medical device innovation, thus providing opportunities for the microspheres market. The “Made in China 2025” initiative improves industry efficiency, product quality, and brand reputation, which may spur the development of domestic medical device manufacturers and increase competitiveness.
  • According to European Coatings, there are nearly 10,000 coatings manufacturers in China. The Chinese paints and coatings production has been showing steady growth over the recent years.
  • Although China is home to many companies producing paints and coatings, foreign companies and joint ventures also hold a fair share of the market. This huge production base is expected to contribute to the demand for microspheres from the paints industry.
  • Despite volatile growth in the real estate sector, significant development of rail and road infrastructure by the Chinese government (to withstand the demand from growing industrial and services sectors) resulted in the robust growth of the Chinese construction industry in recent years.
  • Overall, the demand for microspheres in China is expected to increase during the forecast period.
