About the Report

About the Report

Market Overview:

Medical polymer is a material arranged into elastomers, filaments, and saps. Medical grade polymers are an essential part of the new-gen medical and healthcare system. These materials are specifically engineered and manufactured for medical use under global regulatory requirements. Medical-grade polymers are used in manufacturing medical devices, medical packaging, medical wear, cleanroom supplies, mobility aids, implants, wound care, denture-based materials, and others.

According to Ken Research estimates, the Global Medical Polymer Market – which grew from approximately US$ 10 Billion in 2017 to approximately US$ 15 billion in 2022 – is forecasted to grow further into approximately US$ 25 Billion opportunities by 2028, owing to the growing chronic diseases, rising number of patients worldwide, and surging healthcare infrastructure by government active participation and investments.

  • The medical polymer market is driven by surging chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, and other infectious viruses. According to World Health Organization, stated that nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 are caused by cancer worldwide, the most common cases of cancer were lung, prostate, skin, stomach, colon, and rectum. Globally, more than two third of all death are occurred due to one or more of these five chronic diseases including heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. The increasing number of cases due to chronic diseases worldwide, enforcing governments and players to upgrade technology via medical devices or surgeries to cure the disease, which is likely to benefit the medical polymer market.
  • Government strict rules and restrictions on the usage of polymer material in the healthcare and medical industry, are restraining the growth of the medical polymer market. For instance, the USA Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), stated that numerous types of materials, including metals, polymers, and ceramics, are commonly used in medical devices. FDA is taking active measures to control the quality of raw materials used in medical devices.
  • COVID-19 has helped in the growth of the medical polymer market. Since the start of the pandemic, the requirement for medicines and other medical products has been rising, it requires special packaging, which helped the medical polymer market to accelerate. As the pandemic is slowing down, it is estimated that the medical polymer market remains significant in the forecasted period, owing to the growing medical conditions and surgeries worldwide.
