Abstract:Hyaluronic acid is a biopolymer that has gained attention from both researchers and the public since its discovery in 1934. In 2022, its global annual demand was 667 MT, with a market value of 9.4 billion dollars and an expected compound growth rate of 7.7% from 2024 and 2030. Such popularity lies in its many applications, which ranges from pharmaceutical to Tissue Engineering. Its molecular weight (MW) determines which application hyaluronic acid is better suited for: high MW (over 1 MDa) is used in medical a… Show more
