FMI Reveals How Medical-grade Plastics Are Transforming the Medical Device Market across 30+ Countries United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina

The medical plastics market is expected to showcase a 7.0% CAGR in the assessment period from 2023 to 2033. It is likely to cross US$ 16,462.6 million in 2023 and top a valuation of US$ 32,293.4 million by the end of 2033. The need for medical plastics is expected to increase as a result of medical technology and innovation advancements. Medical equipment that is more advanced, specialized, and strong is constantly needed as medical research advances.

Syringes, IV tubes, catheters, surgical equipment, and diagnostic tools are just a few of the products that are manufactured using medical plastics. These are anticipated to help in surging the demand.

The market for specialized medical equipment that is adaptable to different sterilization techniques can also grow. Plastics made for medical use are expected to provide the best answer. They can be sculpted into intricate shapes, added special characteristics, and kept functional under difficult medical conditions.

Global attention to patient safety and infection control has increased demand for medical plastics. Healthcare organizations such as hospitals are always looking for strategies to reduce the risk of infections and enhance patient outcomes.

Medical plastics are naturally antibacterial and are simple to clean and sterilize. They are a favored option for medical equipment and disposable products as they can reduce the risk of contamination and infection transmission.
