[203+ Pages Report] According to a survey released by Facts and Factors, the global medical polymers market was valued at USD 16,500 Million in 2020 and is predicted to reach USD 28,290 Million by the end of 2026, rising at a CAGR of nearly 9.40% between 2021 and 2026.

Overview

“Polymer” is a large molecule or macromolecule that is composed of several repeats of high-molecular-mass units. A medical polymer is a biodegradable plastic or elastomer used in healthcare and medical applications. These materials are utilized in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering and include bulk materials, coatings, and medicinal nano-carriers. Moreover, they are biodegradable, biocompatible, sterilizable, as well as resistant to fatigue, heat, and electrical currents. Medical polymers with varying molecular weights, crosslinking and crystallization degrees, copolymers, and blends as well as bioactive surface functionalization are being tested by several producers at the moment. Medical polymers are widely utilized in the production of medical equipment and packaging, and the pharmaceutical industry’s strong expansion in recent years has resulted in increased demand for medical polymers.

Growth Factors

The rising requirement for medical devices &equipment produced from medical polymers is one of the key factors driving the global medical polymers market in the upcoming years. This market is also expected to develop because of the increasing need for medicinal polymers, which include features such as chemical inertness and extended fatigue resistance. However, the high cost of raw materials may stymie the expansion of the medical polymers market in near future. Furthermore, rigorous laws and regulations imposed by governing organizations such as the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union (EU) are impeding the target market’s growth. Furthermore, increased government investment in research and development operations provides a chance to drive the target market’s growth. Furthermore, rising demand for biodegradable polymers is a trend driving growth in the global medical polymers market throughout the projected period.
