According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Medical Polymers Market Report by Product Type (Medical Resins and Fibers, Medical Elastomers, Biodegradable Plastics), Application (Medical Equipment and Devices, Medical Packaging, and Others), and Region 2024-2032,” the global medical polymers market reached a value of US$ 21.9 Billion in 2023. Medical polymers refer to thermoplastic materials that are used to manufacture medical devices, implants, disposables (gloves, vials, tools), and packaging. They comprise naturally occurring polymers, such as proteins, polysaccharides and polynucleotides, and synthetic polymers like polycaprolactone (PCL), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyurethanes. Medical polymers are utilized as additives and fillers in medical plastics and various medical equipment. They are commonly used in tissue engineering as they offer favorable mechanical properties and are biocompatible and biodegradable.
Global Medical Polymers Market Trends:
In recent years, with the increasing prevalence of chronic medical ailments like cardiovascular issues, infections, generic medical conditions, and other disorders, advanced pharmaceutical devices and sophisticated medical treatments have been developed. Along with this, the expanding aging population and the growth of the home healthcare market have escalated the demand for advanced and sophisticated medical devices, requiring medical polymers for their production. Besides this, the rapid spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has encouraged governments of various countries to increase their investments in research and development (R&D) for producing medical polymers. Moreover, the development of novel materials, such as biomedical polymers in medical implants, will provide further momentum to the market. Looking forward, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during 2024-2032.
