Microspheres Market Size To Reach $11.24 Billion By 2030

Microspheres Market Growth & Trends

The global microspheres market size is expected to reach USD 11.24 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.7% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market has witnessed strong growth over the past few years on account of the rising demand from the paints and coatings sector, construction, and healthcare industries. The cost-effective nature of microspheres has been a crucial factor for the increasing market penetration.

Increasing technological innovation in terms of improving the characteristics of microspheres has resulted in the expansion of the market. However, growing concerns over the microbeads impact on the environment and the strengthening of the regulatory framework is expected to have a negative impact on the market.

The growing demand from the paints and coatings sector owing to the increasing production in emerging economies and expansion of the manufacturing industry is expected to have a positive impact over the forecast period. The expansion of the construction industry will remain a major growth contributing factor for microspheres in the near future.
