Polyglycolic acid is a biodegradable polymer used in medical sutures, implants, and drug delivery systems in Ghana due to its biocompatibility and mechanical properties. The polyglycolic acid market is driven by increasing applications in healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors.
The growth of the polyglycolic acid market in Ghana is propelled by factors such as biomedical applications, surgical procedures, and demand for biodegradable polymers. Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a biodegradable polymer used in medical implants, sutures, and drug delivery systems due to its biocompatibility and resorbable properties. Factors such as healthcare infrastructure development, aging population, and regulatory approvals drive the adoption of polyglycolic acid in Ghana healthcare sector.
Limited availability of glycolic acid feedstock and the high cost of polymer production pose challenges in the polyglycolic acid market. Additionally, competition from alternative biodegradable polymers and concerns about polymer purity impact market growth.
In recognition of the environmental benefits and diverse applications of polyglycolic acid (PGA) in packaging, medical devices, and textiles, the government has instituted policies to support the growth of the PGA market. Measures include promoting regulations and standards for PGA purity, biodegradability, and safety, ensuring compliance with product labeling and waste management regulations. By fostering partnerships between PGA producers, end-users, and regulatory authorities, the government aims to enhance product innovation, market competitiveness, and sustainability in PGA applications in Ghana.
