Growing Demand for Biodegradable Polymer Globally Drives Growth of Caprolactone Market

Published: Aug 2024

Caprolactone market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The market growth is attributed to Polycaprolactone (PCL), a biodegradable polymer widely employed in biomedical applications such as orthopedic implants, scaffolds for tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems, making it easier to create its ability to do ring-opening polymerization. Moreover, caprolactone finds widespread application across multiple industries as a necessary raw material for the synthesis of adhesives, thermoplastics, and specialty polyurethanes. Additionally, caprolactone's exceptional chemical properties, including its high reactivity and versatility during polymerization processes, caprolactone is highly sought after.
