Global Microspheres Market Size Estimates Forecasts To 2025 By End User Landscape Consumer Profile Product Solid Microspheres Hollow Microspheres Material Polymer Metallic Glass Ceramic

Global Microspheres Market is projected to grow at a significant CAGR from 2017 to 2025  

Microspheres are spherical micro-particles with their size ranging from 0.1 and 100mm. They are used where consistent and predictable particle surface area is important. They are filled with external pores on the surface or internal pores in the core. Some uses of these particles include carriers for drugs, cell delivery, and tissue regeneration. They are usually used in the oil & gas industry, aerospace industry, cosmetics industry, automotive industry, paints & coatings industry, medical technology, composites and others. Any growth observed in the medical technology industry will indirectly lead to the growth of the microspheres market over the next few years. The high usage of microspheres in the health industry is a significant reason for growth of the global microspheres market. Based on product type, the market is segmented into solid microspheres and hollow microspheres.  Hollow microspheres held the larger share of the microspheres market due to its low crush strength, density, and absorption that make it suitable for use in various applications. The major restraints for the market are fluctuating raw material prices, lack of quality control across developing countries, and huge investments required in R&D. Expansion is the most preferred strategy adopted by key market players to sustain in this highly competitive market.
