Medical Plastics Market worth USD 45.0 billion by 2027

The global medical plastics market is expected to grow from USD 29.2 billion in 2021 to USD 45.0 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2021 to 2027. The demand is likely to register growth because of advanced plastics and plastic composites used in medical components such as catheters, surgical instrument handles, and syringes. The market for medical plastics is expected to register growth due to the high adoption of plastics for implants due to chemical inertness and superior fatigue resistance. The demand for medical device packaging is likely to be driven by the rise in the demand for in-house and advanced medical devices.

Medical plastics are widely used in various applications, including medical devices and equipment and medical packaging. Medical polymers have replaced traditional metals, ceramics, and glass because of their high thermal, chemical, mechanical strength, stability, and flexibility at high temperatures. Numerous agencies across the globe regulate medical polymers. In Europe, medical devices fall under the EU Council Directive (93/42/EEC), which guides their consumption.

The revision of healthcare and medical device industry regulations is likely to play an important role in the medical plastic industry. The directives mandated by regulatory authorities are likely to offer assurance for safe and better quality medical solutions to the consumers excepted to increase the demand for medical devices. As a result, the market for the plastics used in the manufacturing of these devices is expected to witness significant growth. A positive outlook toward the medical industry across the major markets in the Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe, coupled with high spending on R&D, is expected to drive the medical plastic market over the forecast period.

Global Medical Plastics Market Dynamics

Drivers: Growth of the medical device industry

Plastic, including polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, polypropylene, and engineering plastics, is increasingly used to manufacture medical devices. An increase in the home healthcare market accounts for low costs compared to hospital care, which has resulted in a rise in the demand for medical devices. Medical tests of different types in hospitals conducted for diagnosis have also contributed to the increasing demand for medical devices.

The key factors influencing the demand for medical devices are availability, awareness, affordability, and adaptability. Growing demand for better healthcare facilities coupled with the rising number of hospitals has augmented the growth of the medical devices sector. In 2015, Europe was the second-largest market for medical devices globally and accounted for over a quarter of the global demand. The growth of the medical device market in countries including Germany, Italy, the UK, and France is expected to increase the demand for medical plastics over the forecast period.

Restraints: Stringent government regulations

Regulations are the key factor influencing the medical device industry, influencing the medical plastic market in Europe and North America. Rising government concerns regarding the offering of high-quality, safe, and effective medical devices are expected to impact the industry growth over the forecast period. Medical devices and equipment such as syringes, IV bottles & bags, surgical devices, disposables, diagnostic components, drug delivery devices, and implants are primarily manufactured using plastic materials. In Europe, medical devices cannot be placed in the market without ensuring that they comply with the safety requirements given by the European Union.

Strict regulations associated with product quality and marketing are likely to increase the production cost and hamper small enterprises in the European medical device industry, which will likely affect the medical plastic market over the forecast period. Furthermore, according to Eucomed, the recent European Medical Device Directive (MDD) is anticipated to hamper the innovations and research capabilities in the region, which, in turn, is expected to hamper medical plastic industry growth over the forecast period.
