The growing global elderly population as well as increased incidences in chronic diseases, are leading to exponential requirements for fast and safe medical solutions, translating to increased demand for high-performance polymers. The advancement of healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies is fostering increased use of medical polymers in medical disposables and drug delivery systems. Technological advancements, including bioresorbable polymers and antimicrobial polymers and enhancement of the use of medical polymers are enabling implementation in a variety of medical applications. Due to challenges regarding regulatory standards and the need to create safer materials, the industry will continue to experience ongoing research & development.

Medical plastics is projected to account for the largest share of the medical polymer market during the forecast period

The medical plastics segment is projected to be the largest in the medical polymer industry due to their affordability, versatility, and extensive use throughout the medical industry in medical devices. Medical plastics are biocompatible, chemically resistant, and able to withstand sterilization processes, and, therefore enable manufacturers to create syringes, catheters, IV bags, surgical equipment and devices, and analytical and diagnostic devices. Medical plastics are lightweight, can be molded into various shapes and forms, can be manufactured into complex designs and forms, and are rigid yet safe for patients. The healthcare profession is continuing to call for the adoption of single-use and disposable medical devices to reduce cross-contamination and healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) in hospitals; therefore, the demand for medical plastics will continue to grow. Plastics are evolving through continued developments in polymer formulations, such as antimicrobial or bioresorbable plastics, which significantly increase functionality. In terms of functionality, usability, and compliance with healthcare regulations, medical plastics are taking the lead as the most common type of products within the medical polymer business.

Medical instruments & devices is projected to be the fastest-growing application in the medical polymer market during forecast period

Medical instruments & devices is the fastest-growing and largest application segment of the medical polymer market due to the increased demand for advanced, disposable, medical tools that are minimally invasive. The growing global burden of chronic disease, aging populations, and the rise in surgical procedures are contributing to the demand for reliable, high performing devices made of biocompatible polymers which have superior properties, including flexibility, strength, chemical resistance, and sterilization capabilities and increasingly used in surgical instruments, catheters, implants, diagnostics, and monitoring equipment. A heightened emphasis on patient safety and infection control has driven the increased clinical usage of single-use, polymer-based devices. The continual advancements in polymer technology, such as further developments in bioresorbable and antimicrobial polymers are also increasing device effectiveness. All these factors strengthen medical instruments and devices as the leading application segment of the medical polymer market.

Injection molding manufacturing technology to be the fastest-growing in the medical polymer market during the forecast period

Injection molding is taking over the medical polymer market as the fastest-growing manufacturing technology largely due to its fast-paced production of expertly accurate and elaborate to simple and consistent components, uniform to large quantities, and low costs. Injection-molded items are found in a variety of medical products, including syringes, surgical implements or devices, housings, and diagnostic approaches. The injection-molding method can be automated and expedited, all while rigorously adhering to hygiene and stringent quality controls, which are highly critically evaluated in the healthcare industry. As demand for disposable and miniaturized medical devices increases, injection molding offers scalability, meaning it can be ramped up to cost-effectively produce in quantities with efficiency. The advancement of multilayered and micro-injection molded medical products has bolstered injection molding to continue to be the best option for the mass production of medical polymer devices.

Europe to be the second-largest region in the medical polymer market during the forecast period

Europe is the second-largest market within the medical polymer space because of its sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, established regulatory environment, and high demand for innovative technologies for medical devices and disposables. Active marketplaces in Europe comprise some of the very best medical device manufacturers and research facilities, which drives the pursuit of high-performance polymers in medical use. Increased spending on healthcare, rising aging population, and high incidences of chronic disease are supporting strong demand for disposable medical devices. The regulations set by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and European Medical Device Regulations require the highest level of safety and quality for healthcare products, which creates demand for biocompatible and specialized polymers for medical use, discarding medical devices that may be harmful to patients. Sustainability initiatives throughout Europe and the consideration of safe and environmentally sustainable medical products also drives the expansion of recyclable polymer materials and biodegradable polymer materials.
