U.S. Medical Plastic Market: Introduction
The medical plastic market in the U.S. was valued at US$ 11 Bn in 2019 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 9% from 2020 to 2030. Lightweight and cost-effectiveness of medical plastic are encouraging large numbers of medical device manufacturers to invest in medical plastic. The rise in demand for disposable medical devices such as inhalation masks and intravenous (IV) tubes is likely to propel the medical plastic market in the U.S. by the end of the forecast period.
Key Drivers of U.S. Medical Plastic Market
Medical plastic is gaining popularity in the U.S., owing to its high clarity, inherent good barrier properties, radiation resistance, low cost, high durability, chemical resistance, breathability, sterilization capability, and biocompatibility. Commonly used medical plastic include polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, engineering plastics, and silicone. Polyvinyl chloride’s versatility, transparency, and anti-kinking characteristics are major factors driving its usage as a material of choice in the manufacture of blood bags/tubing, IV and dialysis fluids, dialysis bags, examination & surgical gloves, mouthpieces and masks, oxygen delivery equipment, medical packaging, etc. Governing bodies across the globe are focusing on enacting stringent regulations on the usage of plastics, owing to health concerns. Medical plastic is recyclable and does not pose much threat to the environment. These factors are propelling the medical plastic market in the U.S.

The demand for plastics has been rising in the manufacturing of medical devices such as catheters, tubes, masks, and bags. Properties of medical plastic such as transparency, toughness, strength, rigidity, and high heat resistance are expected to propel the medical plastic market in the U.S. in the near future. The rise in adoption of advanced technologies, such as 3D printing, is a prominent driver of the medical plastic market in the U.S. 3D printing is employed to create tissues & organoids, surgical tools, patient-specific surgical models, and customized prosthetics. These technologies help professionals in the medical field to understand patients and improve the level of comfort among patients.
The increase in demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) due to the surge in the number of COVID-19 cases has led to supply shortage. 3D printing is proving a valuable technology in the production of face shields, thereby helping decrease the demand-supply gap for personal protective equipment in the U.S.
