Global Medical Plastics Market was valued at US$ 23.7 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow exponentially experiencing a CAGR of 8.7% from 2020 to 2027. Medical plastics are the polymers made from polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), etc., and these plastics are resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and temperature. These plastics have the applications largely in healthcare industry due to their properties such as greater safety, versatility, easy sterilization, and durability. Further, the other properties associated with these plastics such as cost efficiency and environment friendly would further enhance their demand in the coming years. Due to its different beneficial properties, these plastics are used to produce drug delivery devices, disposables products, and diagnostic instruments.
Growth Factors of the Global Medical Plastics Market
Growth in the number of hospitals, surgical and outpatient procedures and enforcement of several infection prevention standards are some of the major factors driving the growth of the medical plastics market globally. The prices of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polystyrene have been volatile and the primary reason has been the fluctuating oil prices. Further, the raw material prices have been highly due to the overproduction in the Chinese market.
