The global Activated Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) market size was US$ 285 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1435 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 26.4% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
PEGs have been shown to provide improved water solubility and biocompatibility in drugs and other applications, and the ability to attach a variety of reactive functional groups to the terminal positions of these polymers has greatly increased their utility. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is a synthetic, hydrophilic, biocompatible polymer with widespread use in biomedical and other applications. PEGs are synthesized using a ring-opening polymerization of ethylene oxide to produce a broad range of molecular weights and molecular weight distributions (polydispersity); however, discrete PEGs (dPEG®) are synthesized with a single, specific molecular weight. PEGs can be synthesized in linear, branched, Y-shaped, or multi-arm geometries. PEGs can be activated by the replacement of the terminal hydroxyl end group with a variety of reactive functional end groups enabling crosslinking and conjugation chemistries.
Global activated polyethylene glycol (PEG) key players include NOF, JenKem Technology, Nektar Therapeutics, Dr. Reddy"s Laboratories, Merck, etc. Global top 2 manufacturers hold a share about 50%.
