Microparticles Market expected to reach USD 2.325 billion by 2030
Microparticles Market Trends & Forecast
According to a research study published by Knowledge Sourcing Intelligence (KSI), the microparticles market will expand from USD 1.427 billion in 2025 to USD 2.325 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 10.25% during the forecast period.
The microparticles market is driven by several key factors, such as, growing demand for targeted drug delivery, innovations in biotechnology, growing applications in the automotive industry, and technological advancements.
In November 2024, Rousselot and IamFluidics announced the launch of a novel research-grade dissolvable microcarrier for adherent cell culturing. The product is designed to streamline and scale-up processes for advanced cell therapies, biologics manufacturing, and cultured meat production. The microparticles are finding application in the expanding cell culturing market. They provide a larger surface for cell attachment and facilitate scaling up from lab-scale to large-scale bioreactors for efficient commercial production. This collaboration would transform adherent cell culture, offering high yield and cost-effectiveness.
Further, in September 2022, IamFluidics announced the closing of a €4 million financing round. The financing is provided by entrepreneur Joost van Neck. The money would be used to establish a production facility, expand the team, and expedite the market introduction of its products.
In July 2023, SEKISUI KASEI developed TECHPOLYMERTM polyimide hollow microparticles, the world’s first mass-producible polyimide hollow microparticles. SEKISUI KASEI CO., LTD., worked together with a research team in the Department of Chemical Science and Engineering at Kobe University, discovered the world’s first ever method for mass producing hollow microparticles with polyimide shells and developed TECHPOLYMER polyimide hollow microparticle commercial production technology.
China is one of the leading players in the microparticles market, driven by industrial growth, the growing healthcare sector, government initiatives, and technological advancements. In July 2023, Luye Pharma Group and BeiGene announced that Luye Pharma’s innovative formulation, Goserelin Microspheres for Injection (Baituowei), was approved by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in June 2023. It can be used for the treatment of prostate cancer in patients who need to be treated with an androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). This product is the world’s first and only formulation of long-acting goserelin microspheres approved for launch.
New research and development are further pushing the market growth, such as in January 2024, Leipzig-based physicists are utilising active microparticles for artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence using neural networks performs calculations digitally with microelectronic chips. Physicists at Leipzig University created a type of neural network that works with active colloidal particles.

Microparticles Market Growth Drivers and Restraints
Drivers:
- Hybrid Supraparticle Synthesis Technology: Researchers based at KERI in South Korea created a new method by which inorganic nanoparticles can covalently attach to polymer microparticles through a simple, collision-based mechanism. It’s a clever, scalable way to construct complex hybrid particles with potential applications in coatings, optics, and smart materials.
- Inverse Design for High-Precision Optical Trapping: An emerging computational platform enables scientists to design microparticles with engineered shapes and properties to augment optical trapping. This means improved control and measurements in all six degrees of motion, with applications in quantum physics and high-precision sensing.
Restraints:
- Stricter EU Restrictions on Synthetic Polymer Microparticles: The EU now has a REACH regulation for products that prohibits the intentional introduction of synthetic polymer microparticles (microplastics) in products at levels above 0.01% by weight, requiring reformulation or removal from market for affected industries.
- Drug Formulation Complexity Limits Controlled-Release: Microparticles: Developing controlled-release microparticle systems is challenging, matching excipient materials to actives while ensuring stability, release profiles, and the ability to scale up the process is a persistent development challenge.
Microparticles Market Key Developments:
- Re-Launch of the Microsphere Summit 2025: Powder Systems Limited announced the relaunch of the Microsphere Summit 2025 (15-16 October, Liverpool), a conference designed for drug developers and specialist manufacturers to network, share, and evolve new long-acting injectable microsphere technologies.
