Global Medical Plastics Market Report, 2018 - Polymers, Resins And Fibers, Elastomers & Biodegradable
M2 - Thu Dec 05, 10:27AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/g7cdz3/medical_polymers) has announced the addition of the "Global Medical Polymers, Resins And Fibers, Elastomers & Biodegradable Plastics Market Report, 2018" report to their offering. 'Medical Polymers, Resins And Fibers (PVC, PP, PE, PS), Elastomers (SBC, Rubber Latex), Biodegradable Plastics Market For Devices, Equipment, Packaging And Other Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast 2012 - 2018' Engineering plastics that are used in medical and healthcare applications are termed as medical polymers. These fibers and resins, elastomers and biodegradable materials possess qualities such as low weight, biocompatibility, that are suitable for medical applications. Medical devices, implants and equipment are used extensively and the demand for medical polymers is thus increasing due to their biocompatibility in these applications. Medical polymers are usually used in spinal implants, hip & joint replacements and implants for cranial injuries. Growing demand for medical devices, an increasing ageing populations and a growing preference towards home healthcare treatment are some of the factors that have been driving the market in the past few years. At the same time, the strict regulatory guidelines laid down by various government and health organizations and the increasing volatility of raw material prices have been holding back the market for medical polymers in terms of new product launches and subsequent revenues. The increasing importance of biodegradable materials in medical applications is also expected to be a major future trend. Technological advancement that can improve implant capabilities, thus enabling better properties and biocompatibility are in focus in the product segment of medical polymers. Fibers and resins such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS) and others such as Nylon, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and other polyamides (PA) are major materials used in medical applications. Of these PVC and PP are expected to show the highest demand while the demand for others is expected to grow at a rapid pace. Similarly, elastomers such as styrene block copolymers (SBCs), rubber latex and others (TPO, TPU and TPV) are in great demand as well. Of these, rubber latex is expected to occupy the largest share in the market. Biodegradable polymers are relatively new materials in the medical segment and although their consumption is restricted to high-performance medical applications, they are expected to exhibit impressive growth rates over the duration of the forecast period. The medical polymer market by application includes polymers used in medical devices & equipment as well as medical packaging. Medical devices and equipment showed the highest demand from various application segments globally. Polymer materials used in medical packaging showed slightly lesser demand in 2011 but are expected to exhibit better growth rates over medical devices and equipment and thus at the end of the forecast period are expected to occupy a majority of the market share in the medical applications of polymers. Other applications of medical polymers such as in cardio implants and devices, polymers used in tissue engineering etc. are expected to show favorable growth over the next few years as the demand from an ageing population increases. Strong demand for medical and healthcare facilities in North America has been the major reason for the region to be the largest market for medical polymers. The demand for medical implants and devices along with a strong research and development trend have been pushing the market for polymers over metals and other substitutes over the past decade. In spite of being a mature market, North America is expected to remain a major region with favorable growth over the forecast period. Europe and Asia Pacific are the other major regions for medical polymers. The high population and growing number of middle-aged and aged people have been pushing sales in Asia Pacific. The region is expected to show the highest growth over the next few years. Kraton Performance Polymers Inc., BASF SE, Bayer AG, Eastman Chemicals, SABIC Innovative Plastics and The Dow Chemical Company are some of the major players manufacturing polymers for medical applications. Scope of the Report Product Segment Analysis: - Medical Resins and Fibers - Medical Elastomers - Biodegradable Plastics The product segments have been further analyzed based on the materials used in various medical applications. Medical Resins and Fibers: - Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) - Polypropylene (PP) - Polyethylene (PE) - Polystyrene (PS) - Others (Engineering thermoplastics such as ABS, PC, PET) Medical Elastomers: - Styrene Block Copolymer (SBC) - Rubber latex - Others (TPU, TPV, TPO) Application Analysis: - Medical Devices and Equipments - Medical Packaging - Others (Tissue engineering, cardio stents) Key Topics Covered: Chapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 Executive Summary Chapter 3 Global Medical Polymer: Industry Analysis Chapter 4 Global Medical Polymers Market: Product Segment Analysis Chapter 5 Global Medical Polymers Market: Application Analysis Chapter 6 Global Medical Polymers Market: Regional Analysis Chapter 7 Company Profiles - ASF SE - Bayer Material Science AG - Celanese Corporation - China Haohua Chemical Group Co. - DSM N.V. - E.
