Polyglycolic Acid Market Outlook:
Polyglycolic Acid Market size was over USD 6.48 billion in 2025 and is anticipated to cross USD 16.21 billion by 2035, witnessing more than 9.6% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of polyglycolic acid is assessed at USD 7.04 billion.
The market growth is due to rising awareness of sustainable packaging materials. 67% of consumers in the world believe it is critical that the products they purchase come in recyclable packaging. PGA can be used to produce compostable bags and pouches and it can be a great alternative to traditional plastic bags.
Furthermore, the growing popularity of 3D printing is also augmenting the polyglycolic acid market demand. Polyglycolic acid is used as a filament material in fused deposition modeling (FDM), a most popular 3D printing technique. Moreover, in comparison to other polymers polylactic acid (PLA) in 3d printing, polyglycolic acid is found to be more brittle.
