Medical plastics are materials specifically designed for use in medical devices, equipment, and packaging. They are biocompatible, sterilizable, and often transparent, making them suitable for applications such as implants, surgical instruments, tubing, and packaging for pharmaceuticals. Medical plastics play a crucial role in modern healthcare by providing lightweight, durable, and cost-effective solutions while maintaining high standards of safety and performance.
Medical plastics are used to manufacture medical disposables, medical instruments & tools, prosthetics, and drug delivery devices. Growing healthcare infrastructure in emerging economies and increasing instances of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart problems are expected to drive the medical devices market, which in turn, is likely to propel the demand for medical plastics. Furthermore, increasing use of advanced medical equipment, such as virtual reality augmentation, 3D printed prosthetics, and customized single-use devices is fueling the market. According to MarketsandMarkets, The global medical plastics market size to grow from USD 22.8 billion in 2019 to USD 31.7 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period.
