PLGA, standing for Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer widely utilized in the medical field. This synthetic copolymer is made by combining two different monomers, lactic acid and glycolic acid, which allows it to break down naturally within the body. Due to its versatile properties, PLGA is commonly used for various applications, including drug delivery systems, surgical sutures, and tissue engineering. Continuous research and development in the biomedical sector have significantly contributed to the expanding applications of PLGA. Its ability to safely degrade and be metabolized by the body makes it an ideal candidate for creating new drug delivery systems and biodegradable implants. The growing need for targeted and controlled drug delivery systems that can improve the effectiveness of treatments and minimize side effects is driving the growth of the market. The high cost associated with producing PLGA-based products hampers the growth of the market. However, continuous research & development activities to expand the application of PLGA are expected to create opportunities for market growth.
