Market Insight

The development of polymers has opened new doors to many of the end-use industries such as packaging, electronics, automobile, medical, pharmaceutical, consumer goods, food and beverage, and others. Polymers have superior physical and chemical properties as compared to other materials such as paper, metal, ceramics, and others. They have found a significant application in the medical vertical. Polymers are used for the packaging of medical products, in medical devices, implants, and others. The medical polymers market is highly competitive and consolidated in nature, where only a few players in the market have command over a large part of market share. The key market players including BASF SE, Bayer Material Science AG, Celanese Corporation, DSM N.V., E. I. du Pont de Nemours Company, Eastman Chemical, and others are focusing on new product developments and develop plastic-based composite materials to expand their business.

The flourishing medical devices market is majorly driving the medical polymers market. Medical polymers have found their application in the medical devices industry owing to their enhanced properties. This increases the demand for medical polymers. Moreover, the growing demand for home healthcare treatment is expanding the demand for medical polymers. Furthermore, the rise in the geriatric population is supporting the growth of the medical polymers market. However, the fluctuation in raw material prices is the major restraining factor for the growth of the medical polymers market. Nevertheless, the development of smart polymers is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the key players in the medical polymers market.

In terms of region, North America held the highest market share, dominating the global medical polymers market. The dominance of North America attributed to the high prevalence of chronic diseases and better reimbursement situations in this region. Moreover, the advantages such as low-cost, enhanced performance over ceramic and metals boost the growth of the medical polymers market. While the Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth rate among the other regions owing to the growing medical tourism and rise in government initiatives to support research and development activities in the field of polymers and medicine.
