Medical Plastics Market Insights

Medical Plastics Market size was valued at USD 46.5 billion in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 50.13 billion in 2023 to USD 98.55 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

Medical plastics are a type of polymer that can be molded into almost any shape. Thermoplastic compounds are commonly used in medical plastics. Thermoplastics can be easily molded once they have been heated. Medical-grade polymers are resistant to heat and chemicals. Polycarbonate, polypropylene, and polyethylene are some of the most commonly used medical plastics. Medical devices and equipment, including medical and surgical tubing, can be made with it.

The global medical plastics market growth is predicted to rise due to increased investment in the healthcare industry and rising consumer health concerns. Furthermore, an increase in disposable income and a shift in consumer lifestyle will fuel market expansion in the forecasted timeframe.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had no substantial influence on the medical plastics market; due to the surge in demand for test gowns, face masks, and gloves. The market demand was mostly influenced by the shift in preference for using disposable masks and gloves as part of a safety process. During the first and second quarters of 2022, however, the market experienced a minor downturn. During the first and second quarters, sales of new medical devices and equipment were down due to societal distancing norms and global lockdown measures. Nevertheless, the market is slowly on its track to growth.

US Medical Plastics Market  is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Medical Plastics Market Dynamics

Medical Plastics Market Driver


Demand for Recyclable Medical Plastics to Account for a Significant Market Growth

  • One of the primary aspects driving the market's favorable outlook is significant growth in the medical businesses around the globe. As the COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, the demand for single-use medical plastics and consumables in healthcare facilities has increased significantly. 
  • Thermal scanners, ventilators, gloves, respirators, and masks are commonly used in hospitals, diagnostic centers, and clinics to treat patients. Other growth-inducing variables include numerous product developments, such as the creation of medical polymers with improved biocompatibility. 
  • These new versions are more cost-effective and are employed in targeted drug delivery systems for the regulated release of medicines in complicated brain areas and to treat a variety of degenerative diseases. Some other factors contributing to the industry growth, including extensive improvements in the healthcare infrastructure, especially in the developing economies, along with the rising geriatric population are anticipated to drive the market further.

Medical Plastics Market Restraint

Growing Concerns to Maintain Environmental Balance to Create Market Challenges

  • Environmental pollution and increased waste are the factors that limit the industry growth. The human population is steadily expanding, resulting in greater need for plastic products. These products are responsible for continuous rise in plastic production and waste generation both of which are contributing to increased pollution and limiting industry progress. 
  • These are typically non-recyclable materials that are treated individually to prevent the spread of infection. Limited medical waste management results in a variety of pollution, including water and soil degradation. The COVID-19 epidemic has resulted in increased use of plastics, which has a negative impact on the global environment. As a result, environmental restrictions on the use of these items may harm the demand for medical equipment.
