Regional Analysis:
Geographically, the global microspheres market has been segmented into four major regions such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. The North America region is projecting dominance over the global microspheres market owing to the rapid technological advancement &easy adoption of technologically advanced solutions in the well-developed healthcare sector in this region. This region is forcasted to expand at a significant CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period of 2016-2022. Whereas, the Europe region is projected to be the second largest market in the global microspheres market, expanding at a noteworthy CAGR of 11.5% during the assessment period. The market in this region is majorly driven by the increased research and development activities that are being carried out in the pharmaceutical industry, presence of large number of prominent players and increased healthcare expenditure by the population of the Europe region. The Asia Pacific region is forecasted to project the fastest growth in the global microspheres market owing to the increased government funding for the development of healthcare sector and rapid expansion of the pharmaceutical industry in this region. Poor economic conditions, low penetration of advanced technology and absence of primary healthcare services in the underdeveloped countries are leading to the slow growth of the microspheres market in the Middle East and Africa region.
