- High production and research and development costs are expected to hinder the market's growth during the forecast period.
- Increasing application in cancer treatment drugs and the usage of hollow glass microspheres (HGM) as a hydrogen storage medium are likely to create opportunities for the market in the future.
- North America dominates the global market, with the United States accounting for the largest consumption. However, the Asia-Pacific is likley to grow with the highest CAGR during the foecast period.
Microspheres Market Trends
Increasing Usage in the Medical Technology
- Medical Technology utilizes microspheres for applications as an injectable biomaterial in cosmetic surgery, reconstructive surgery, and urology. It is also used in brachytherapy.
- Polymer, glass, and ceramic-based microspheres are generally used microspheres in medical technology for the manufacturing and testing of medical devices.
- Microspheres are often used as challenge particles and tracers in medical devices, having diameters of more than 50 microns in different colors, such as red, blue, black, yellow, and green.
- Colored microspheres are typically used in the testing of vial and container cleaning evaluations, filtration media and systems, centrifugation and sedimentation processes, flow tracing and fluid mechanics, controlling contamination, and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals.
- Fluorescent-colored microspheres are used for applications that use UV light to produce distinctive colors and offer additional sensitivity for observation under microscopes, lasers, and other analytical methods, for medical applications, such as microcirculation and biological research, imaging, and flow cytometry.
- With recent improvements in quality and functionality, microspheres are widely used in medical diagnostics as injectable biomaterial, tissue filler, reagents for diagnostic devices, and drug delivery vehicles.
- In September 2022, Sirtex Medical announced that the Brazilian National Agency of Supplementary Health (ANS) approved SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres will be used to treat intermediate and advanced stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Brazil.
- In September 2022, ABK Biomedical Inc. announced that the company had received FDA 510(k) clearance for Easi-Vue embolic microspheres to treat patients suffering from arteriovenous malformations or hypervascular tumors.
